The PC Program 

 

A program disk was included with your Digital Reference Amplifier. The 

program will work on any Windows OS from 95 forward. The installation is 
fast and straightforward, however, there are minor differences with the 
different systems and versions. 
 

On your Digital Reference CD you will find the folder ”ZapcoDPN”. In 

most cases you simply open the folder and double click “Setup.exe”. 
Setup will install the system on your computer. After the program installs 
you will need to install the drivers. 
 

Installation of software 

 

1

)  

Load the Zapco Digital CD and install the program by double clicking 
on the set-up icon. 

2)  Power up all devices connected to the DPN. When all devices are 

powered up connect the USB cable between any device and your 
computer. Wait a few seconds while the DPN firmware is loaded and 
Windows notifies you it has found new hardware. 

3)   When Windows notifies you it has found new hardware do 

NOT

 allow 

Windows to install the drivers for you. ALWAYS choose to install the 
drivers yourself. Windows 98, 2000 and XP will permit you to search 
for a driver. When asked to specify a location browse to (C:\\FTDI USB 
DRIVER). 

4)  Install all drivers. Usually, you will need to install the drivers twice. 
5)  Run shortcut “ZAPCO DPN” from the start menu or from the desktop. 

 

Details for Windows 98: 

After installing the program, plug the mini-USB cable between the PC and 
one of the network devices. 
 

Typical:

 After a few moments the program should say it has found new 

hardware and will ask how you want to install the drivers. Click next to 
screen A. (Next Page) 
 
At screen A, check “Search for best driver” and click Next to go to screen B. 
 
At screen B, (Next Page) check “Specify a location” and Browse to: 
(C:\FTDI USB DRIVER 2) and then click Next. 
 

Drivers will then install.  In most cases you will again see the new 

hardware screen and you will have to install drivers again. This is because 
two different sets of drivers are being installed.  In some cases the second 
set will install automatically.
