VNET™ Software
Supplied with each unit, this intuitive Windows tool controls all
of the critical install, commissioning and performance monitoring
functions. A standard wireless LAN-to-serial bridge can be used
to communicate with the network, allowing the commissioning
engineer to sit in the auditorium communicating from a laptop
on 802.11b
During normal operation the speakers on the network will
appear as minimised panels in the form of a status monitor
icon (Monicon) on the computer screen. These are laid out to
reflect the physical layout of the speakers within the venue so
that the user can monitor system status and component
condition at a glance. The minimised panels can be expanded
to reveal highly detailed information in real time.

VNET™ Active, DSP, Networked.
Each VQ NET loudspeaker is fully VNET™ compliant and is
fully calibrated at the factory, avoiding the need to input the
correct speaker management settings or dynamics at the point of
install. This frees the installer to concentrate instead on room
measurement and system optimisation. VNET™ supports free
network topology so that the loudspeakers can be arranged in a
daisy chain, linked in a star configuration or in any combination of
both. Implementation of the network between nodes is via high
quality rugged Neutrik Ethercon connectors, which are compatible
with standard RJ45 plugs, and CAT5 cable. Each speaker has
a unique address for auto-location on the network. System
commissioning and ongoing network control, incorporating real
time diagnostics of electronics and drive unit, are all managed by
the exclusive VNET™ software package.
