INSTALLING V-PACK ON YOUR COMPUTER
To install V-Pack from a CD-ROM:
1. Insert the CD-ROM into the computer’s CD-ROM drive.
The V-Pack installation starts. The V-Pack installation dialog box appears on
the screen.
2. Follow the prompts displayed on the screen to install the program.
3. When the installation is complete, eject the CD-ROM.
NOTE: You need a VPC-1 programming cable to upload setups to a beltpack. This
cable is available from your Clear-Com dealer or distributor as well as directly from
the factory. If you wish to wire your own cable, see Table 1 for the pin assignments.
To install V-Pack™ from the Clear-Com Web site, go to
www.clearcom.com. Select Support, then Downloads, and follow the
online instructions.
STARTING UP V-PACK
To program a beltpack, first connect it to the computer with a VPC-1 cable. This
cable is available from your Clear-Com dealer or distributor (Part# 73023) as
well as directly from the factory. The beltpack must be connected to a
Clear-Com channel with power and termination.
Attach the cable to the beltpack’s 3.5 mm (1/8 inch) tip-ring-sleeve plug and to
the computer’s DB-9 connector (RS-232 serial port). If your computer only has
USB ports, adaptors are available from computer suppliers.
NOTE: Alternatively, you can start V-Pack and create a setup offline, without
connecting a beltpack to the computer. To upload the setup to a beltpack, you must
then connect the VPC-1 cable to the beltpack and the computer.
After you connect the beltpack to the computer, you can start up V-Pack™ by
using the Start menu on your Windows desktop, or by using Windows Explorer
or My Computer.
From the Start menu:
1. On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button.
2. From the Start menu, select Programs, then Clear-Com, then V-Pack.
From Windows Explorer or My Computer:
Use Windows Explorer or My Computer to navigate to the folder in which
V-Pack resides, then double-click the V-PACK.exe icon, or highlight it and press
ENTER.
