Configuring the G65
Digital Surround
Controller
Installing the Meridian Configuration Application
The Meridian Configuration Application is a Windows
program that allows you to configure the G65 Digital
Surround Controller, together with any other Meridian
products in your system, using an intuitive visual
interface.
The Meridian Configuration Application is an alternative
to using the Configuration Wizard, or you can view or
modify a configuration previously created using the
Configuration Wizard. It also provides control over
several features not available from the front panel,
including programming of the soft keys.
The Meridian Configuration Application is not included
with this product, but is freely available from our
website.
Requirements
To use the Meridian Configuration Application you
need:
A computer running Windows 95, 98, 2000, NT 4,
ME, XP, Vista, or Windows 7.
10Mbytes of free disk space.
A 9-pin serial port or USB port.
A mouse or similar pointing device – the application
cannot be operated solely from the keyboard.
The Meridian Configuration Application can
communicate with the G65 you are setting up either
through a serial cable or a USB cable connected to the
appropriate Maintenance socket; see Communications
connections , page 40.
Alternatively, a USB-to-serial converter, available from
most computer retailers, can be used to connect
between the product and a USB port on the computer.
