The RS-232 command codes are available in the Appendix and on our website at www.infocus.com/support. NOTE: Custom commands you enter here should be in write format (do not include '?'), and should use '<' and '>' instead of '(' and ')'. Example: to turn on the ceiling mount setting, use the custom command <CEL1>.

User Access and Security Page (administrators only)

This page lets you configure security options for the projector, including log in passwords and projector access restrictions.

System Log Page (administrators only)

This page shows a log of the 100 most recent projector events. Erase Log…: Click this to erase all events in the log.

Network Utilities Page (administrators only)

This page lets you perform various network-related projector tasks.

Save and Load Projector Configuration: These functions save and load all network-related projector settings into/from a file stored on your computer. This lets you quickly 'clone' network settings from one projector to other projectors.

Upgrade Projector Network Firmware: Upgrades the firmware for the projector's network and LitePort features (this firmware is separate from the regular projector firmware).

Restart Projector Network Subsystem: Restarts the projector network subsystem; does not change any projector settings.

Network Subsystem Factory Reset: Returns all network and LitePort settings to default values and then restarts the projector network subsystem.

Troubleshooting Network Functions

•If network status is shown as Not Connected in the projector's Network menu, or the projector does not display its IP address, check the cable or the network configuration.

•If your web browser displays Page Not Found or a similar error when you try to access the projector's web pages, verify that the

projector is connected to the network (select the Network item in the projector's Setup menu and verify that Network Status shows as Connected); if there is no connection refer to the troubleshooting item above for more help.

•Make sure the Standby Power Save setting in the projector’s Setup menu is set to Normal (if it is set to Maximum, the projector web pages will only be available when the projector is powered on).

•If scheduled tasks are not performed, check if the SNTP is set up correctly and is online. Also check if the Command sequence is correct.

•If automatic emails are not sent, check if SMTP is set up correctly and is online.

To manually restart the projector network subsystem: Use the projector's remote control or keypad to select the Network item in the projector's Setup menu. Then scroll down and select either Restart Network (to restart the network subsystem without changing any settings), or Network Factory Reset (to return all network settings back to default values, and then restart the network subsystem). If the manual restart procedure does not work: To force the network subsystem to restart, disconnect the projector from AC power, wait 10 seconds, then reconnect AC power.

Using LitePort

LitePort displays a slide show of JPEG images stored on a USB flash drive connected to the projector. This feature is eliminates the need for a computer source and can be integrated with common wall plates and conference room input/output panels.

Image File Types

LitePort displays image files in JPEG format only (file extensions .JPEG and

.JPG). Other file types including PDF, BMP, TIFF, PNG, GIF, etc. are ignored.

Viewing a Slide Show

To view your pictures as a slide show, follow these steps:

1Connect a USB flash drive to your computer and copy JPEG files from your computer to the USB flash drive.

2Turn on your projector if needed.

3Remove the USB flash drive from your computer and plug it into the LitePort connector on the rear of the projector.

4The projector will start a slide show of the images found (if you see image thumbnails instead, see To Start the Slide Show section below).

5To go to the next image in the slide show, press the Down or Right arrow button on the projector keypad or remote. To go to the previous image, press the Up or Left arrow button.

Controlling LitePort

When you plug a USB flash drive into the projector's LitePort connector, the projector will scan the drive and then either start a slide show or show image thumbnails.

To stop the slide show and view thumbnails: Press the Select button during the slide show. In Thumbnails view, the name of the current folder, the current image number, and the total number of images in that folder are shown at the bottom of the screen. While viewing thumbnails, press the arrow

buttons to scroll through the thumbnails, or press Select when an image is highlighted to start the slide show, or press Select when a folder is highlighted to open that folder.

To start the slide show: While viewing thumbnails, press the arrow buttons to highlight a thumbnail, then press the Select button to start the slide show at the highlighted image.

To change the image during the slide show: Press the Down or Right button to go to the next image, or press the Up or Left arrow button to go to the previous image (the slide show may also advance automatically depending on the value of the Next Slide setting; see the LitePort Menu section below for details).

To change to a different folder: While viewing thumbnails, press the arrow buttons to highlight the desired folder icon, then press the Select button (to go to the higher-level folder, select the folder icon labeled "Up").

To change LitePort settings: Press the Menu button during the slide show, or while viewing thumbnails (see the LitePort Menu section below for details).

Using the LitePort Menu

To show the LitePort menu, press the Menu button on the keypad or remote during the slide show, or while viewing thumbnails. To highlight a menu item, press arrow buttons. Then to do the action or change the setting, press Select. To remove the menu, press the Menu button again.

Rotate Picture: Rotates the current image by 90 degrees clockwise (rotation is temporary; the image returns to its original orientation when the USB flash drive is removed from the projector or when the projector is turned off).

Stop/Start Slideshow: Stops the slide show, or starts it at the selected thumbnail (when the menu is not visible, you can also stop or start the slide show by pressing the Select button).

Go to Projector Main Menu: Removes the LitePort menu and displays the projector's main menu, where you can adjust the picture or change other projector settings.
