This is the explanation of network connection settings for Windows 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) * Administrator authority is the account, which can access to all functions.

[About IP address]

■ Setting manually

The Network address portion included in the IP address set into your computer should be common with projector’s one. And the entire IP address in the computer 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 computer’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 computer.

NOTE

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

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

12)

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

• When the projector and computer 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 computer automatically. * DHCP is abbreviation for “Dynamic Host Conﬁguration 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.

3.8.4.1 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 device. After the projector receives the response data from an external device 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.

2) If the response data from an external device is blank in a certain time period (BYTES INTERVAL TIMEOUT), the projector judges that the response data is ﬁnished, and starts to send data again.

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

TIMEOUT, the projector cannot receive all data, then the computer may not be able to control an external device well.

Using the BYTES INTERVAL TIMEOUT menu, set the waiting time for

response data to match your system. (

• If it is not required to monitor the response data from an external device 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 device continuously. The OFF is selected as the default setting.

3.8.4.2 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 device. With using this method, the computer and an external device 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 device well depending on the processing status of the projector.
