This is the explanation of network connection settings for Windows® XP and Internet Explorer®.

1) Log on to Windows® XP as administrator authority. (*)

2) Open “Control Panel” from “Start” menu.

3) Open “Network and Internet Connections” in “Control Panel”. (Fig. 2.2.2.a)

[About IP address]

■ Setting manually

The Network address portion included in the IP address set into your PC should be common with projector’s one. And the entire IP address in the PC should not be overlapped with other equipments in the same network, including the projector.

For example

The projector’s initial settings are as follows.

IP address: 192.168.1.10 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (Network address: 192.168.1 in this case)

Therefore, specify PC’s IP address as follows.

IP address: 192.168.1.xxx (xxx shows decimal number.) Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (Network address: 192.168.1 in this case)

Select from 1 to 254 for “xxx” not duplicating with any other equipments. In this case, projector has “192.168.1.10” IP address, specify from 1 to 254 except 10 for PC.

NOTE

• “0.0.0.0” cannot be set to the IP address.

• The projector’s IP address can be changed by using the conﬁ guration utility via a web browser. (

 11 )

• If the projector and PC exist in the same network (i.e. network address is common), default gateway can be blank.

• When the projector and PC exist in different networks, default gateway setting is necessary. Contact the network administrator in detail.

■ Setting automatically

When DHCP server exists in network, it is possible to assign IP address to the projector and PC automatically. * DHCP is abbreviation for “Dynamic Host Conﬁ guration Protocol” and has the

function to provide necessary setting for network like IP address from server to client. A server that has DHCP function is called DHCP server.

Automatic Connection Break

The TCP connection will be automatically disconnected after there is no communication for 30 seconds after being established.

Authentication

The projector does not accept commands without authentication success when authentication is enabled. The projector uses a challenge response type authentication with an MD5 (Message Digest 5) algorithm. When the projector is using a LAN, a random 8 bytes will be returned if authentication is enabled. Bind this received 8 bytes and the Authentication Password and digest this data with the MD5 algorithm and add this in front of the commands to send.

Following is a sample if the Authentication Password is set to “password” and the random 8 bytes are “a572f60c”.

1) Select the projector.

2) Receive the random 8 bytes “a572f60c” from the projector.

3) Bind the random 8 bytes “a572f60c” and the Authentication Password “password” and it becomes “a572f60cpassword”.

4) Digest this bind “a572f60cpassword” with MD5 algorithm. It will be “e3d97429adffa11bce1f7275813d4bde”.

5) Add this “e3d97429adffa11bce1f7275813d4bde” in front of the commands

and send the data. Send “e3d97429adffa11bce1f7275813d4bde”+command.

6) When the sending data is correct, the command will be performed and the reply data will be returned. Otherwise, an authentication error will be returned.

NOTE

• As for the transmission of the second or subsequent commands, the

authentication data can be omitted when the same connection.

HALF-DUPLEX  FULL-DUPLEX

3.7.4.1 HALF-DUPLEX

This method lets the projector make two way communication, but only one direction, either transmitting or receiving data, is allowed at a time. The method does not allow the projector to receive the data from the computer while waiting for response data from an external devise. After the projector receives the response data from an external devise or the response limit time is past, the projector can receive the data from the computer. That means that the projector controls transmitting and receiving the data to synchronize the communication.

To use the HALF-DUPLEX method, set up the RESPONSE LIMIT TIME and BYTES INTERVAL TIMEOUT, following the instruction below.

If a blank time in the response data is longer than the BYTES INTERVAL

• With using the HALF-DUPLEX method, the projector can send out

• If it is not required to monitor the response data from an external devise and the RESPONSE LIMIT TIME is set to OFF, the projector can receive the data from the computer and send it out to an external devise continuously. The OFF is selected as the default setting.

3.7.4.2 FULL-DUPLEX

This method lets the projector make two way communication, transmitting and receiving data at the same time, without monitoring response data from an external devise. With using this method, the computer and an external devise will send the data out of synchronization. If it is requited to synchronize them, set the computer to make the synchronization.

NOTE

• In case that the computer controls to synchronize transmitting and receiving the data, it may not be able to control an external devise well depending on the processing status of the projector .

3.8.1 Connecting devices

1 ) Connect one of the projectors to be controlled to the computer. Connect the projector’s

LAN port and the computer’s LAN port with a LAN

cable, for Ethernet communication.

Connect the projector’s

CONTROL IN port and the computer’s RS-232C port

with an RS-232C cable, for RS-232C communication.

2 ) Connect the

and the

Then connect the

IN port of the 3rd projector.

CONTROL OUT port of the projector connected to the computer

CONTROL IN port of the 2nd projector, with an RS-232C cable.

NOTE

• Turn off (the power switch of) both the projector and other devices

and unplug, before connecting them.

• Do not apply the DAISY CHAIN function to the system that uses a RS-232C bus distributor.

1 ) Set up the communication condition of the

CONTROL IN port of the projector to be connected to the computer by RS-232C communication, according to the speciﬁ cations of the computer’s RS-232C port.

Using the SERIAL IN SETTING menu, select the proper baud rate and parity.

2 ) Set up the same condition of the

CONTROL IN port and the

CONTROL OUT

port connected each other with the same RS-232C cable.

Use the SERIAL IN SETTING menu for the

SERIAL OUT SETTING menu for the

CONTROL IN ports, and the

CONTROL OUT ports, to set up the baud rate and parity. (Operating Guide - OPTION menu - SERVICE – COMMUNICATION – SERIAL IN SETTING/SERIAL OUT SETTING)

3 ) Using the COMMUNICATION TYPE menu, select the DAISY CHAIN

for each projector. (Operating Guide - OPTION menu - SERVICE – COMMUNICATION – COMMUNICATION TYPE)

NOTE

• The baud rate and parity of the

CONTROL IN port do not need to be

set up when connecting the projector to the computer by Ethernet.

• An unsuitable setup may cause the malfunction of communication with an external devise.

3.8.3 Communication port

When connecting the projector to the computer by Ethernet, send the data from the computer to the projector with using the TCP # 9718 port.

3.8.4 COMMUNICATION GROUP / COMMUNICATION ID

When controlling some projectors in the DAISY CHAIN, to control a projector individually or some projectors in a group simultaneously, set up the COMMUNICATION GROUP and COMMUNICATION ID for each projector. Use the COMMUNICATION GROUP menu and COMMUNICATION ID menu to set up them. (

Operating Guide - OPTION menu - SERVICE –

COMMUNICATION – COMMUNICATION GROUP / COMMUNICATION ID)

NOTE

• The COMMUNICATION GROUP is set to A, and the

COMMUNICATION ID is set to the 1, as the default settings.

• To control some projectors individually, do not set up the same COMMUNICATION ID to these projectors. Alternatively, setting up the same COMMUNICATION ID to two or more projectors intentionally realizes simultaneous control for these projectors, like the coincident control with the COMMUNICATON GROUP.

3.8.5 Command for Daisy Chain control

For the command control of the DAISY CHAIN function, see the Technical part of the Operating Guide. (Operating Guide - Technical – Daisy Chain
