Section 2: Advanced Setup Instructions
Initial Setup
Computer Requirements
You need a Windows PC running RHAON software in order to maximize the performance of RHAON empowered loudspeakers and your
RHAON system. You can use RHAON software during the design stage, for system setup, tuning and commissioning, and for remote con-
trol and supervision. You can disconnect the computer from the network after commissioning the system, if you or your client are not using
RHAON’s system supervision capabilities.
RHAON software will run on any PC computer that meets or exceeds the following requirements.
Processor / Speed: Pentium / 800 MHz minimum (faster recommended, especially for large systems)
RAM: 256 MB minimum (more recommended, especially for large systems)
Interface: At least one Network Interface Card (NIC) with a 100 BaseT (100 MB/second) or faster
Ethernet Port; two NICs are needed if the computer will also be used to e-mail alerts
Operating System: XP, Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 with either 32-bit or 64-bit processors
Associated Software: NET Framework 3.5 or higher (supplied with RHAON installation CD)
Screen Resolution: 1024 x 768 or higher
Installing RHAON
To install the software insert the RHAON Installation Disk into the computer’s CD drive. The installation program should start automatically.
During the installation you will need to select either the 32-bit or the 64-bit install.
RHAON 1.10.2 is downwards compatible with earlier versions of RHAON Microcontroller and DSP firmware so you do not need to
uninstall a previous version of RHAON before installing program version 1.10.2. However, new program features may not func-
tion in loudspeakers running earlier versions of firmware.
If the installation program does not start automatically, go to your
Start menu. Then select Settings/Control Panel & Add/Remove
Programs. Click on Install to start the installation manually. The
RHAON Setup window will open. Click on Next to proceed to the
next step. Then follow the screen prompts until the installation is
complete.
Notice that the program warns you if your display settings may
cause viewing problems. If you are using “Large Fonts,” we
recommend you change to the default 96 DPI setting to avoid pos-
sible viewing problems.
The installation program will install RHAON in a Renkus-Heinz/Rh-
aon folder on your hard drive. It will not uninstall earlier versions of
RHAON. Use Settings/Control Panel and Add/Remove to uninstall
an earlier version if you want to delete it.
The RHAON Installer puts a RHAON Icon on your desktop.
Double click on it to open the RHAON software program.
The grey background of the opening RHAON can easily be changed to something more useful, such as a block diagram of your system
or a photo of the venue. To change the background, go to the Options pull-down menu and select Background Image/Load Image. Then
browse to the drawing or photo you want to use. Be aware that the photo or drawing you import needs to be of approximately the proper
size and shape before importing.
