Note that communication parameters such as baud rate must be set to match the
particular controlling device before connecting as a network—refer to the
documentation that came with your controlling device in order to determine the proper
baud rate. See 3.6, Adjusting System Parameters and Advanced Controls if you need help
changing the projector baud rate. In addition, set the Network Routing to "RS232 and
RS422 Joined" if you want to reach all projectors.
NOTES: 1) To avoid damage, connect only properly wired serial communication
cables. See Appendix C for details. 2) It is recommended that each RS232
communication cable be no more than 25 feet in length. Use high quality cables.
ETHERNET NETWORK SETUP
use standard CAT5 cable to connect each projector's Ethernet port to a hub belonging
to the network. A controller or PC must also be connected to the hub. See Figure 2.19.
SETTING THE PROJECTOR'S IP ADDRESS
networks, each projector's factory default IP address of 0.0.0.0 triggers the network's
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server function to automatically assign
an IP address that is valid and unique for use on that network. Depending on the
network, this DHCP-assigned IP address usually remains stable for a single session,
but may change with subsequent power-ups and logins. On some networks, the
address will remain stable from session to session. In all cases, the projector's IP
address and port appear in the Status menu as well as the Ethernet Settings submenu.
