8. Software Installation
The enclosed disc contains the Podware software package; a comprehensive editor, interface, & diagnostics
tool for the VNET range of loudspeakers.
Check the Tannoy website for any updates http://www.tannoypro.com
The disk should ‘AUTORUN’, if not open the Podware folder & double click on the ‘Setup.exe’ icon.
Your PC will need to have the Windows .NET Framework installed. If it does not, you will be directed to the
necessary location to do so http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/downloads/framework1_1/
The .NET Framework is also on your installation CD.
What is the .NET Framework?
The .NET Framework is an integral Windows component for building and running the next generation of
software applications and Web services. The .NET Framework:
Supports over 20 different programming languages.
Manages much of the plumbing involved in developing software, enabling developers to focus on the core
business logic code. Makes it easier than ever before to build, deploy, and administer secure, robust, and
high-performing applications.
The .NET Framework is composed of the common language runtime and a unified set of class libraries.
You can check to see if you already have the .NET Framework 1.1 installed by clicking ‘Start’ on your Windows
desktop, selecting ‘Control Panel’, and then double-clicking the ‘Add or Remove Programs’ icon. When that
window appears, scroll through the list of applications. If you see Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 listed, the latest
version is already installed and you do not need to install it again.
PodWare is a powerful application capable of running many complex windows concurrently.It therefore requires
a computer with reasonable levels of resources. For acceptable performance, the computer must have at least:
• PC with >450 MHz Pentium processor
• 32-bit Windows tm operating system (NT, 2000, XP, Vista, Win7)
• 128 MB RAM
• CD-ROM drive or Internet access
• RS232 or USB port
