RW Manual-2

Starting RaneWare

Once RaneWare is installed, a RaneWare program group

is created. When the software is first installed, Rane’s

Software License Agreement is displayed. Then, the Help

screen appears. Here, any questions may be answered.

Subsequent activations do not bring up the License Agree-

ment or the Help screen unless they are asked for. Close the

Help file, and welcome to RaneWare!

If any question arises about a particular control on any

software screen, position the pointer over the control and

press F1 on your keyboard for Help.

The System Setup screen asks to which Com port RW

232 is attached. If you don’t have a unit connected, you can

still use RaneWare Offline. Click OK, then Polling begins the

first time the program is run. This process checks for units

connected to the serial port. Polling may also be invoked by

selecting Device > Select > Poll. If a Device is found, you

are in control! (If a device is hooked up and it is not found,

read the Troubleshooting section of the Help file.) RaneWare

polls addresses 1 thru 250. If the connected products are

found, you may click the stop button at any time to end

polling.

INSTALLING RANEWARE

For programming and setup of all of Rane’s RW 232

products, Rane supplies a Windows

compatible software

called RaneWare. This software is an easy-to-use graphical

user interface and allows all Rane’s RW 232 type products to

be controlled in real time from the same executable.

System Requirements

• RaneWare works under Microsoft Windows 95 or 98SE

on a PC or laptop with an unused serial port.

• RW 232 needs a DB-9 cable less than 50' long, connecting

from the serial port of a computer to the RW 232 CON-

TROL INPUT port. This cable is wired straight through,

not null modem. No interface boxes are required; just a

cable and the computer. See the ECS Hardware Manual.

• RaneWare can be fully demonstrated and operated without

any unit attached (called ‘offline’).

• A RaneWare CD-ROM comes with each unit. RaneWare is

a single program with different windows capable of

controlling not only the ECS units, but also the RPE 228d

Equalizer, and the RPM 26v or RPM 26i Multifunction

Processor, the RPD 1 Programming and Diagnostics Unit

and the Via 10 Ethernet Bridge. Software can be obtained

at Rane's web site, www.rane.com.

Software Installation

If you have the RaneWare CD-ROM, insert it in your

drive. The autorun should bring up a prompt asking to install

RaneWare. If it does not, go to the Windows Start menu,

select Run... > Browse... and navigate to your CD-ROM

drive. Select the SETUP.EXE file and click OK. This starts

installation.

If you downloaded RaneWare from the web, locate the

RW2**.EXE file you downloaded and run it. Installation

proceeds.
