Installing LecNet2

previously installed versions of LecNet2software.
(This will ensure you are using the latest release.)
2. Insert the LecNet2program 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 Win-
dows Task Bar then click "Run..." Enter the Drive
number followed by "Setup.exe" as shown below.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the
LecNet2software.
Installing the LecNet2
There are two methods of connecting a Windows-based
computer system to DM Series device, either via a USB
cable or an RS-232 cable. However, 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 LecNet2USB driver is not part of the standard
Windows ® 2000 and XP driver library. As a result,
connecting a computer system to a DM84 for the first
time is different than subsequent installations. There
are a few minor differences between installing the
LecNet2USB drivers on a Windows 2000 versus a
Windows XP system.
