MIXED NETWORK
1. Set them all to the same baud rate as your RS422 controller. NOTE: You must enable this combination of
RS422 and RS232 in the Communications menu. Set the "Network Routing" option to "RS232 and
RS422 Joined", see
2. Chain the projectors together by connecting an
connected to the computer/controller through the
projector in the chains). Continue connecting projectors in this manner until you've reached the last
projector in the chain, so that only the last projector has one unused port
Mixed Network.
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 to determine the proper
baud rate. See Section 3 Operation
Network Routing to "RS232 and RS422 Joined".
NOTES: 1) Connect only properly wired serial communication cables. 2) Each RS232 communication cable should be
no more than 50 feet in length. Use high quality cables.
ETHERNET NETWORK SETUP
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 2-23 - Ethernet Network
