Digital Projection
Introduction
The projector can be controlled by using an external control system or a PC via an
RS232 or LAN interface, using a terminal-emulation program.
Network setup
The projector must have its IP address assigned by a DHCP server before it can be
controlled via protocol commands. The control PC should also have its IP address
assigned by the same DHCP server. This will guarantee that the control PC and the
projector are both on the same network subnet and can communicate with each other.
Connecting to the projector via a network
Most home and workplace networks have a DHCP server built into the network router. If
this is the case, connect the projector and the control PC to the network and log into the
router's DHCP client list to find the IP address assigned to the projector. Alternatively,
launch the DP Projector Controller software and use it to display the projector's IP
address as shown in Fig. 1.
Connecting to the projector directly with a PC
Connect the projector to the control PC with a network cable. In this configuration the
control PC must run a local copy of a DHCP server application. There are numerous
programs available. Refer to the documentation that comes with the DHCP server
software for details on how to set it up. Once configured, look in the DHCP server's
client list to find the IP address which has been assigned to the projector.

Notes
For details on connecting the
projector to an RS232 or LAN
network, or changing network
settings, see the user manual.
Only one control path at a time
should be used for protocol control.
Attempts to send commands to both
serial and network ports at the same
time may result in unpredictable
behavior.
