UDRPANEL SOFTWARE
The UDR series receivers are supplied with a PC software
control program called UDRpanel. With UDRpanel is it pos-
sible to do things with the receiver that cannot be accom-
plished from the front panel. These special capabilities
include:
• One-person walk test with audio playback and RF level strip
chart.
• Spectrum analyzer to find unused frequencies.
• Cohesive real-time monitoring of one to more than forty
receivers.
Hardware Connection
Included in your receiver package is a LecNet serial cable,
with a DB-9F connector on one end and a 3.5mm tip-ring-
sleeve (TRS) connector on the other. Connect the DB-9F end
to a COM port on your PC and the TRS connector to one of
your receivers. If you have additional receivers, use the
LecNet expansion cables (8-pin mini-DIN on both ends) to
“chain” all the receivers together. It does not matter exactly
how this chaining is accomplished, nor does the TRS connec-
tion have to be connected to any particular node, so long as all
receivers are connected together. Power on all receivers
before starting the UDRpanel software.
Software Installation
In order to use the UDRpanel software, it is necessary to first
install it on your PC. To do this, simply insert the CD that
came with the receiver, run SETUP.EXE if necessary, and
follow the installation instructions.
Starting UDRpanel
To start the UDRpanel software, run “UDRpanel” from the
LecNet Master Pro program group. Usually this is accom-
plished by accessing the Windows Start menu, then selecting
Programs, LecNet Master Pro, UDRpanel.
Startup Window
When the UDRpanel software starts, it offers four choices as
to how to begin.
• I would like to open a previously saved configuration.
Choose this option if you have run UDRpanel previously and
saved a configuration that you would now like to restore.
• I would like to scan for connected receivers. This is the
default selection. UDRpanel will detect any connected
receivers and allow you to configure and operate them.
• I would like to begin with a blank configuration. This may
be used to create a configuration manually when no receiv-
ers are connected.
• I would like a demonstration. This places UDRpanel in a
special demonstration mode, allowing you to experiment with
the software on simulated receivers.
Once you make and confirm your selection, the Main window
will appear.
