Ethernet Communications

To add the projector to an existing Ethernet network with other equipment such as

controllers and other projectors, connect standard CAT5 Ethernet cable between your

Ethernet controller (or hub) and the Ethernet port on the side of the projector.

Upon connection to an Ethernet network, the projector’s factory default IP address of

0.0.0.0.0 will automatically enable the DHCP function (if available on the network) to

assign a new IP address that is valid and unique for that network. Or, if there is no

DHCP function available on the network (or if a specific static IP address for the

projector is preferred or required), you can set the address in the Ethernet Settings

menu or via an ASCII serial command.

Regardless of how it is assigned, once a projector has a valid and unique address it

will respond to commands sent to this address. To determine the projector’s current IP

address, consult the Status or Communications menus.

Refer to Section 3 for further information about setting up and using a projector

connected via Ethernet.

RS-232 NETWORK: If you want to connect multiple projectors in a network with serial

communication, connect the controlling source to the RS232 IN connector of the first

projector in the network. Then take another serial communication cable and connect

one end to the RS232 OUT connector and the other end to the RS232 IN connector of

the next projector. Continue this pattern of connection with all projectors in the

network. The last projector in the network will only have a connection to the RS232

IN connector. See Figure 2.12.
