Parallels®, or running another VM (Virtual Machine) application. In order to run Resyn on virtual machine software such as
Boot Camp, VMware® Fusion or Parallels, your computer’s ethernet connection may need to be bridged to the Virtual
Machine. For help with configuring your system you can contact our technical applications group for assistance.

• Intel Pentium 4 CPU or better

• CPU speed of 1.0 GHz or faster

• 512 MB of RAM or greater (1 GB recommended)

Note: If you prefer to manually update your computer before you install Resyn you can download .NET Framework Version 4.0 Client
Profile from Microsoft. The download is free and can be found at: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17113.
If you do NOT have an Internet connection, you MUST install .NET Framework Version 4.0 Client Profile from the supplied CD-ROM
first, before installing Resyn. In order to avoid any difficulty, we recommend that you have an active Internet connection during the
installation process, if at all possible.

The .NET Framework Version 4.0 Client Profile must reside on your primary hard drive.

Install Resyn

Before installing Resyn it is best to close all other open programs. When you install Resyn from the supplied CD-ROM it normally
will auto-run. Simply select Install Resyn from the CD menu. If for any reason the CD does not auto-run, or you have downloaded
Resyn from the Community website (available at www.communitypro.com/resyn
double-click on it to install (see below for hard disk path information).

The Resyn Installer will guide you through the remainder of the process. Once the installation is complete, a

desktop icon is automatically created for convenient access to the Resyn application. The icon will look like this:

For future reference, Resyn program files are normally installed in C:\Program Files\Community Professional
Loudspeakers\Resyn. File locations can be altered upon installation, if desired, to another folder, partition, or external hard drive;
however, .NET Framework Version 4.0 Client Profile must reside on your primary hard drive. We recommend that Resyn reside on
your primary drive as well.

Connect Cabling

to your Ethernet switch (or wireless router) to which the Resyn computer is currently connected.

Note: In order for this connection to work automatically, the computer must be set for Automatic IP Addressing, not a static IP
Address. More information about this is available via the
