SECTION 6 – REMOTE CONTROL
To make operation of the DriveRack 260 even more convenient, dbx includes the option of using the DriveRack PC GUI
software (DriveWare™) and/or Zone Controllers (sold separately). The following section contains some basic information
regarding the utilization of the DriveWare™ software including: install, system requirements, cable specifications, basic
operation and setup for dbx Zone Controllers.

Note: The COM (communication) port must be consistent. This means that when the GUI is in use, any other software
applications that use the RS-232 COM port must be closed. If your computer does not have a physical RS-232 COM

peripheral devices are compatible. Please visit www.dbxpro.com for the latest information on compatible peripherals.
