Connecting the Projector Server
Connecting to an Ethernet network:
1. Connect one end of a standard CAT5 or higher UTP Ethernet cable to the Projector Server’s LAN port.
2. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into a network hub or switch. (The maximum distance between the Projector Server and hub/switch is 100m)
Connecting the power:
1. Plug the power adapter jack into the DC-IN socket on the Projector Server
2. Connect the power adapter into a mains outlet
3. Switch on the power at the rear of the Projector Server. The Power and LAN LED’s will illuminate and READY LED will flash while the Projector Server initializes. If the LAN LED is not lit, please check your Ethernet cable connection.
Connecting a Projector (or monitor):

2. Power on the projector/monitor to complete installation.
Configuring the Projector Servers network address:
The default IP address setting of the Projector Server is set to ‘Dynamic IP enabled’. When connected to a LAN with a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) service the Projector Server’s IP address will be automatically set. For fixed IP network settings Dynamic IP should be disabled (See Pages 19 – 21)
