Safety Precautions; Ip And Subnet Considerations - Christie IMB User Manual

Hardware Installation and Setup

Safety Precautions

When installing the Christie IMB, observe these important safety rules to avoid personal injury or
damage to the projector:
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD! Always turn off, disconnect, and disengage all power sources
to the projector before installing the Christie IMB.
Before turning the projector off and disconnecting it from AC power, wait a minimum of 15
minutes for the fans to cool the lamp after the lamp turns off.
Only Christie accredited service technicians are permitted to open any enclosure on the
product and only if the AC power has been fully disconnected.

IP and Subnet Considerations

You must configure your network settings correctly for the Christie IMB to operate. Incorrect subnet
settings can cause communication issues between the Christie IMB, the NAS device, and external
automation devices. To reduce the risk of communication issues:
• Assign the projector intelligence board (PIB) and the Christie IMB NAS1 and NAS2 ports to
nonconflicting subnets. For example:
• Configure the NAS1 and NAS2 ports on the Christie IMB faceplate to use DHCP when they are not
in use. When you set DHCP on a NAS port and nothing is connected to the port, the Christie IMB
does not mount the port and there is no risk of an IP address conflict.
• Use static IP addresses on the NAS1 and NAS2 ports. If you need to use DHCP:
• Verify the NAS device can be configured as a DHCP server. See the documentation
provided by the manufacturer of your NAS device.
• Verify that the DHCP service is enabled on the NAS device
provided by the manufacturer of your NAS device.
• Verify the address range provided by the NAS device does not conflict with the other NAS
port or the PIB port
device.
