• PROJECTOR ADDRESS
Enter a three-digit number (such as "001") to assign or change a number to the projector currently in use. If the
current projector already has a number assigned, that number will appear here (for example "004" in the menu
shown below. Numerical identity for projectors enables you to communicate with a single projector within a
multiple-projector application (see also P
assigning or changing the projector number, press E
used and you want to adjust the color for individual projectors to create one seamless image, you must assign
different numbers for each projector to allow switching back and forth between projectors while adjustments
are being made.
• NETWORK ROUTING
NOTE: Not applicable for stand-alone projectors or simple serial networks with only one type of controller and
linking.
Separate - Select "Separate" (factory default) to keep RS-232, RS-422 and Ethernet messages on their
respective paths instead of being broadcast to the other types of ports, refer to
Figure 2-19 Connecting RS-232
RS-232 and RS-422 Joined - Messages originating from an RS-232 or RS-422 controller will be relayed to all
RS-232or RS-422 ports. Any Ethernet communication, however, will not.
RS-232 and Ethernet Joined - Messages to and from the RS-232 ports will also be relayed to the Ethernet
port, and vice versa. Any RS-422 communications will be isolated. In the case of multiple Ethernet sessions
over the single Ethernet connector, input on the RS-232 port will be relayed to all Ethernet sessions; however,
input from any Ethernet session will only be relayed to the RS-232 ports.
All Joined - All messages reach all ports, regardless of type in the case of multiple Ethernet sessions, input on
one Ethernet session will be relayed to all other Ethernet sessions as well as to the RS-232 and RS-422 ports.
