VR Field
Installing LecNet2 ™ Software and USB Driver
Part of the LecNet2 ™ software package is the VRpanel
for the VR Field Receiver. This Graphical User Interface
(GUI) is designed to allow easy setup and monitoring of
the VR Field Receiver using a computer system running
the Windows ® 2000 or XP operating system.
Installing LecNet2 ™ Software
1. Remove any previously installed versions of Lec­
Net2 ™ software. (This will ensure you are using the
latest release.)
2. Insert the LecNet2 ™ program disk supplied with the
VR Field Receiver into the CD-ROM drive on the
computer system that will be used to set up and
control the VR Field 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 letter
(“E” in the example) followed by “Setup.exe” as
shown below.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the Lec­
Net2 ™ software and the VR Panel for the VR Field
Receiver.
Installing the LecNet2 ™ USB Driver
There are two ways to connect a Windows ® -based com­
puter system to the VRF: a USB cable or an RS-232
cable. Although the USB port offers increased speed
and convenience 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; therefore, con­
necting a computer system to the VR for the first time
differs from subsequent installations. There are a few
differences between installing the LecNet2 ™ USB driv­
ers on Windows 2000 versus Windows XP systems.
USB Driver Installation (Windows XP) - First Time
When the VR is connected to a Windows XP computer
system for the very first time, the Windows ® Found.New.
Hardware.Wizard automatically opens. Use the follow­
ing procedure to install the LecNet2 ™ USB driver using
the Wizard.
1.. Place the LecNet2 ™ Installation Disk in the PC’s
CD-ROM drive.

tions.”, then check the box for.“Search.removable.
