6 TCX series
Networking Capability with LMS series Controllers
• LMS-D2X controllers are designed to offer control and monitoring of system parameters over a BvNet
network in real time using a PC and TurboDrive software. The controllers are equipped with network
cards to allow the building of comprehensive networked loudspeaker systems.
• Download the TurboDrive software from the supplied CD or from the TURBOSOUND website
turbosound.com and follow the installation instructions.
• Install the drivers. If connecting via RS232 there is no need to install drivers. If connecting via USB
install the USB drivers which can be found on the CD that came with your Linea Research USB interface.
• Networking multiple devices to a PC: BvNet is the method of connecting multiple devices and this is
done with the Linea Research USB & RS232 Interface (available from TURBOSOUND). The interface
enables devices to be connected to a PC either using RS232 or using USB. EIA485 is the network
protocol among the networked devices and is carried over CAT5-type cables. It works with the
following: PC with Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista operating systems,
or with Pentium processor, or CD ROM drive or internet access, RS232 or USB port.
• RS232: Connect your computer to the BvNet interface using a standard 9-pin serial cable. External power
is required for RS232 operation and this should be provided by the Linea Research Accessory Power Supply.
• USB: Connect your computer to the BvNet interface using a USB Type A to USB Type B cable.
External power is not required when using USB.
• Connect networked devices via RJ45 CAT5 cables.
• Launch the TurboDrive software.
• Application Authorisation: TurboDrive prompts for an Authorisation Code on the first launch which
is PJLUWZ.
• Select the COM port from Network > Com Port.
• Click the Online toolbar button.
• Click on one of the devices that appear in the tree view to Launch the panel.
• When the progress bar indicates ready, adjust the controls as required.
• Please refer to the TurboDrive User Guide for further information on networking.
