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 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 the current session, but
may change with subsequent power-ups and logins. On some networks, the address
will even 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.
Figure 2.36. Setting the Projector's IP Address
Note that if a networked projector's IP address is anything other than the default of
0.0.0.0 (shown as 000.000.000.000 in the Ethernet Settings menu), or if a DHCP
server is not available, the automatic DHCP server function for supplying a valid and
unique IP address is disabled. Instead, you must define a specific and static IP
address by entering the new address in the Ethernet Settings submenu, or by sending
one to the projector via a serial command. The projector will respond to commands
sent to this address after the next power-up, after which the IP address will remain in
projector memory until you enter a new one, or until the DHCP checkbox is re-
enabled.
NOTES: Only the port and IP address of the projector can be changed. The subnet
mask is fixed (255.255.255.0).
CHANGING THE PORT#:
require that the port number of the projector be changed from its default of 3002. If
so, enter a new port number in the Ethernet Settings menu or include the new port# in
an XIP serial command sent to the projector.

NOTES: 1) A separate "redundant" network requires double serial links—RS232
and RS422—between all projectors. 2) Set each projector's Broadcast Key to OFF.
