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 configuration" for further information (+ p.20).
2. Make sure that there is no network equipment set with the same IP address in the net-
work 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.

✐ The timer operates by using the clock function provided in this product. Before setting the timer,
please confirm that the current date and time are set correctly. Timer and clock functions are
functioning using a lithium battery provided in this product. When the battery runs down, the
clock and timer functions will not operate correctly. Consult your local dealer for the replacement
of battery. The replacement must be carried out by a qualified service personnel.
Notes on timer setting
✐ Up to 10 timer events can be registered. Timer events always operate according to the next valid
event depending on the projector's power status. In the example below, event 3 turns on the
projector so next event 4 (also turning on projector) will not be effective because the projector
is already turned on. Similarly, when the projector is turned off by event 5, event 6 OFF will not
be effective in turning it off again. But these secondary events (event 4 and event 6) will become
effective if a person turns off the projector (after event 3 and before event 4) or turns on the projector (after event 5 and before event 6).

This Network Communication is to communicate by sharing the captured image of a computer with multiple computers and a projector. User can draw the text and figure on the
captured image by using a drawing tool.
The data that has the captured image of a Main PC and communication information is sent
to the projector. The projector projects this data onto the screen and serves this data to
other computers (Sub PC) at the same time. The Sub PC receives served capture data and
displays it on the screen. The Main PC and Sub PC also can edit the captured image by
using the drawing tool. This edited image is applied to all the computers automatically.
