Connection of LAN cable

To connect to the network, it is required to use the UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) straight cable with RJ-45 plug. There are two different types of cables depending on whether the network is constructed with 10Base-T or 100Base-TX. Prepare the Hub (10Base-T or 100Base-TX) to distribute the network cable if required.

1 Disconnect the AC plug from the

projector.

2 Connect the UTP straight cable to the

LAN port on the Network Unit.

3 Connect the UTP straight cable to the hub.

✐ Use the UTP cross cable when you connect the computer and projector directly not using the

hub.

✐ When you connect the projector into the 10Base-T network, use cable with category 3 or 5.

When you connect the projector into the 100Base-TX network, use cable with category 5.

✐ The length of cable between hub and projector should be less than 100m.

Chapter 2 Installation

Notice about system construction

For installation of multiple projectors into the same network with Network Unit.

Do not install multiple projectors with Network Units that have their default network settings to the same network. The use of the Network Units which have the default IP address set to the same network settings will cause IP addresses to collide and create a malfunction. When you install multiple projectors into the same network, configure the network with the following steps.

1. Change the IP address from the default IP address. To change the IP address, use the network setting menu on the projector. Please see item "Network configura

tion" for further information (

☞ p.18).

2. Make sure that there is no network equipment set with the same IP address in the

network before connecting to the network.

3. When installing other projectors, follow the above steps to change the IP address

and connect to the network.

In case of installing the projector with Network Unit into the network constructed with the DHCP/BOOTP server.

This Network Unit does not support the DHCP/BOOTP server. The static IP address must be manually configured. To use this product in this network environment, set it up so that the DHCP/BOOTP server does not assign the IP address configured to this product for another device on the network. Please consult your network administrator for further information.
