4. Projector registration

4.1. Connection

Connect the controller PC and the projector, which have installed “ProjectorView Global+”, to a commercially available LAN cable.

When connecting multiple projectors, use a commercially available hub.

A LAN terminal is required for the controller PC.

Use a LAN cable compatible with Category 5 and 100BASE-T.

Use a crossover LAN cable in the case of connection example 1 and use a straight-through LAN cable in the case of connection example 2.

(In the case of connection example 3, see the instruction manual of the router.)

Do not touch metal parts of the LAN terminal and LAN cable by hands charged of static electricity. Discharge of static electricity may cause a failure of the projector.

Up to 200 units of the projectors can be registered at the maximum.

<Note>

The LAN function may be unavailable depending on the standby mode setting of the projector. To enable the

LAN function, change the setting referring to the User Manual of your projector.

4.2. Registration of projector to “ProjectorView Global+”

The procedures to register projectors vary among the foregoing connection examples.

In connection examples 1 and 2 (where projectors are installed within the same local network), the projectors within such network are automatically detected and registered. For details, see procedure A below.

In connection example 3 (where projectors are installed via a router), specify the range of the projectors’ IP addresses and then carry out automatic projector search within the range to register projectors. For details, see procedure B below.

Up to 200 units of projectors can be registered at the maximum.

Projectors that have just been registered by the automatic projector search aren’t belonging to any group.

When the projectors you registered aren’t displayed on the projector list on the main screen, select “All” from the group select pull-down menu.

Procedure A - For connection examples 1 and 2 (where projectors are installed within the same local network)

(1)Start up “ProjectorView Global+”.

(2)Select “Search Projector” from “Configuration” of the menu bar on the main screen.

• The projectors connected to LAN are searched automatically.

• Some projectors may require you to enter the password when establishing projector connections for the first time. If the projector password is changed, you need to enter that new password.

<Note>

Ensure that the IP address of the PC and that of the projector are in the same network group. (The last octet of the IP address should contain a different value.)

Be sure to make a note of the IP addresses you set. If you forget the IP addresses, you may not be able to detect the projectors again.

At initial setup, DHCP or Auto IP (169.254.0.1 through 169.254.255.254) automatically assigns an IP address.

Note that a different IP address may be assigned every time you start the projectors. If a connection cannot be established, execute “Search Projector”.

If you change the IP address in the projector menu after the projectors have been detected, execute “Search

Projector” again.

It is recommended that you assign an IP address of the projector to the fixed IP address.

If several projectors with the same IP address are registered, delete the ones which are not connected to the network from “Edit Projector Setting”.
