CHAPTER 3
RUNNING RMS FOR THE FIRST TIME
After installing the RMS software, restarting your computer,
and validating your Network Interface Card, RMS is almost
ready to run! Double-click the RMS Icon on your desktop
– or select RMS from the shortcut in the Meyer Sound
folder in the Start menu – to launch the RMS software.
NOTE: If you chose to add an RMS icon to
your Startup folder during RMS software
installation, RMS will automatically run when Win-
dows starts.
The first time you run RMS, the Echelon LNS Server layer
will need to create an the RMS network database. The fol-
lowing is the startup sequence:
1. A Network Server and Manager dialog will appear
displaying information about the status of the program
and the server on startup (Figure 3.3).
Figure 3.3. The Network Server and Manager dialog
2. The RMS Network Initialization Service will create a
new database. Click
OK
to create the new database,
as shown in Figure 3.4.

TIP: The default name for the database is
“RMSNET”; a new sub-folder to hold all of
the database and configuration files will be created
in the folder where RMS is installed.
3. If the program asks you if you’re sure you want to cre-
ate a new database, click OK again.
4. The program will close and re-initialize the new data-
base (Figure 3.5).

If the database is successfully created, the RMS applica-
tion will open automatically. You’re ready to go!
TIP: The Network Server and Manager
will continue to run minimized in the
background, accessible from the Windows Taskbar.
Since it is the communication layer between the
RMS application and your loudspeakers, don’t
close it. When you close the RMS application,
the Network Server and Manager will close
automatically.
CAUTION: If a dialog appears stating “The
object was not found,” then your card is not
connected to any loudspeaker. Click OK to close
the dialog and check your cable connection(s).
The RMS application will not launch automatically.
Note that closing the Network Server and Manager
dialog will launch the RMS application.
