Installing LecNet2

This Graphical User Interface (GUI) is designed to allow
easy setup and monitoring of DM components using a
computer system running under the Windows
XP operating system.
Installing LecNet2 ™ Software
1. Use the computer control panel to remove
any previously installed versions of LecNet2
software. (This will ensure you are using the
latest release.)
2. Insert the LecNet2 program disk supplied
with the Venue Receiver into the CD-ROM
drive on the computer system that will be
used to set up and control the Venue
Receiver.
3. The CD should automatically start the
installation procedure. If it doesn't, click
"Start" on the WIndows Task Bar then click
"Run..." Enter the Drive number followed by
"Setup.exe" as shown below.

LecNet2 software.
Installing the LecNet2 ™
There are two methods of connecting a Windows
based computer system to the DM component, either
via a USB cable or an RS-232 cable. Although the USB
port offers significantly increased speed and conve-
nience over standard RS-232 links, it does require the
installation of a LecNet2™ USB driver.
The LecNet2 USB driver is not part of the standard
Windows ® 2000 and XP driver libraries. As a result,
connecting a computer system to the DM for the first
time is different than subsequent installations. There
are a few minor differences between installing the
LecNet2 USB drivers on a Windows 2000 versus a
Windows XP system.
