Local Area Network (Lan) Control (Dla-X7, Dla-X9, Dla-X30, Dla-X70, Dla-X90 - JVC RS-232C Remote Control Manual

Local Area Network (LAN) Control (DLA-X7, DLA-X9, DLA-X30, DLA-X70, DLA-X90,

DLA-RS50, DLA-RS60, DLA-RS45, DLA-RS55, DLA-RS65)
In addition to RS-232C and Infrared Remote Control, the above models also support Local
Area Network (LAN) Control. Full instructions on how to use this are below. These
instructions assume a knowledge of TCP/IP networking hardware & protocols.
Hardware
The LAN control enabled projectors are equipped with a standard RJ45 connection. They
can be connected to a LAN, a PC or a controller either directly or via a router, hub or switch
using a standard patch cable in the same way as any other standard network device.
Projector Setup
In order to use LAN Control, the projector must be switched from RS-232C to LAN Control
mode. Depending on the particular network configuration, some basic network settings may
have to be changed in the projector's network menu, though this is unlikely.
To set the projector to LAN Control Mode, go to the "Function" menu on the projector, then
scroll down to "Communication Terminal" and change this from "RS-232C" (the default) to
"LAN". This will set the projector to LAN Control Mode. It will also enable the "Network"
option further down in the same menu. Scroll down to the "Network" option and press "OK".
This will show the projector's network settings. These should be familiar to anyone with
knowledge of TCP/IP networks, but a basic explanation of them is as follows:
DHCP Client - (Available Options Off/On). When set to "Off", the projector's IP Address,
Subnet Mask and Default Gateway values must be set manually, however the default values
will be suitable for most installations. When set to "On", these values will be obtained
automatically from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on the LAN.
Please note that if DHCP is set to "On", there must be a DHCP server running and reachable
on the LAN, otherwise network communication will not work. The default setting is "Off"
IP Address - Sets the IP (Internet Protocol) address of the projector. As with all IP networks,
each device on the LAN must have a unique IP address. Duplicate IP addresses on a LAN
will cause unpredictable results. The default value is 192.168.0.2.
Subnet Mask - Sets the Subnet Mask of the projector. In most cases the default value will be
suitable. The default value is 255.255.255.0.
Default Gateway - Sets the Default IP Gateway of the projector. This is usually used only on
larger LANs with multiple sites. In virtually all installations, the default value will be suitable.
The default value is 192.168.0.254.
MAC Address - A 6 byte hex number that uniquely identifies the projector on the LAN. The
value is unique to each individual projector.
A detailed explanation of the above settings and general LAN setup is beyond the scope of
this guide, but the following Wikipedia links may be useful if further information is required:
