Section 2: Installation and Setup
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.

Connecting Multiple
If you want to connect multiple projectors in a network with serial
RS-232 NETWORK:
Projectors
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 2.17.
Figure 2.17.
: To control multiple projectors with a computer/controller having an
MIXED NETWORK
RS422 interface, first set them all to the same baud rate as your RS422 controller.
NOTE: You must enable this combination of RS422 and RS232 in the
Communications menu. Set the "Network Routing" option to "RS232 and RS422
Joined". See Section 3 for details.
Then chain the projectors together by connecting an
port of the first projector
RS232
(already connected to the computer/controller through the
port) to an
RS422
RS232
port on the next projector in the chain. Continue connecting projectors in this manner
until you've reached the last projector in the chain, so that only the last projector has
one unused
port. See Figure 2.18.
