NetControl and NPC-1 are designed to run in 24/7 applications. The unique design of the NetControl software allows you to control your equipment from another building, town, country or continent.
TCP, IP, UDP, DHCP, ICMP TCP Server QuickLogix™NetControl Starter Package QuickLogix™NetControl Advanced Package (optional) NPC-1: DC 9V to 30V, 300 mA (max.) at 9V 0 – 55°C, 32 – 131°F 5 – 95%RH -20 – 85°C, -4 – 185°F 90 x 100.4 x 22 mm (W x D x H, including ears) 67 x 100.4 x 22 mm (W x D x H)
A gateway address is the IP address of a local IP router on the same network as the NPC-1 device. It is used to forward traffic to destinations beyond the local network. A gateway is the connection or interchange point that connects seperate IP networks. A local area network (LAN) may need a gateway to connect in to a wide area network (WAN) or to the Internet.
RS-232 interface. Please use the RS-232 cable provided by your projector manufac- turer to connect your projector or other audiovisual equipment. Connect one side of the cable to the NPC-1 device serial port and the other side to the serial port on the projector.
There are two ways to use the 10/100BaseT Ethernet jack located on NPC-1’s front panel: 1. For most applications using NPC-1, you will simply plug one end of an Ethernet cable (RJ45) into NPC-1’s 100BaseT jack, and plug the other end into a hub connected to your network.
Changing Network Properties Selecting a NPC-1 device Click on the menu Tools|Network Properties to get a list of all NPC-1 devices on your network. If this list is empty click the Search button to perform an actual search. Pick an IP address in the NPC-1 list to change the network properties.
ISP. Change the IP address of the NPC-1 to a valid IP address. If you are unsure about changing the IP address please ask your system administrator. Click the Change button to save the new IP address.
The NPC-1 device is shipped with the following default subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Change the subnet mask of the NPC-1. If you are unsure about changing the subnet mask please ask your system administrator. Click the Change button to save the new subnet mask.
This type of server is set up to provide IP addresses for new devices as they log onto a network. As the operation of the NPC-1 requires a fixed IP address, we strongly recommend that you establish an IP reservation list in DHCP to maintain fixed IP assignments based on the NPC-1’s MAC address.
You can perform the same network search if you click the Network Tool button under the Projector Tools category. Hit the Search button in the Search Network window to get a list of all NPC-1 devices on your network. Mark the IP address of the NPC-1 device that you want to use in the search list.
192.168.0.99. You can find the default IP address on the bottom panel of the NPC-1 device. Do not use two or more NPC-1 devices with the same IP address. The network will not work properly and you will not have access to a projector you need to control.
Connecting to a projector Before you can work with your projectors on the network you have to pick a valid IP address and a projector model from the Projector Model list in the main application window. Click the Connect button to establish the actual connection between the NetControl software and a projector.
Reading the Status of a Projector Am I connected? To get a status reply from your projector you have to be connected to a projector. If your are not connected to a projector the Get Status button in the Projector Status window is deactivated.

Not all status requests are available with every projector model. Missing replies will be indicated. - 18 -...
Click the Input Select button in the control window. The Input Control Center window pops up. Select a valid input. If the projector is connected to a video or data source the input will be switched to that specific input source. Most projectors need some time to recognize the new input signal.
Buttons are normally deactivated when the NetControl software is not connected to a projector. You have to connect to a projector before using the Control window. Another reason for the a deactivated button could be that the function of the button is not supported on the selected projector model.
DCE (Data communications Equipment - e.g. a modem) the meaning and use of certain pins may differ. The diagrams below define the interface from the DTE perspec- tive. The NPC-1 has a RS232 DTE connection. RS232 on DB9 (EIA/TIA 574) Pin No.
