4.2. Registration of projector to “ProjectorView Global+”

The procedures to register projectors vary among the foregoing connection examples.

• In connection examples 1 to 4 (where projectors are installed within the same local network), the projectors within such network are automatically detected and registered. For details, see procedure A below.

• In connection examples 5 and 6 (where projectors are installed via a router), specify the range of the projectors’ IP addresses and then carry out automatic projector search within the range to register projectors. For details, see procedure B below.

• Up to 200 units of projectors can be registered at the maximum.

• Projectors that have just been registered by the automatic projector search aren’t belonging to any group. When the projectors you registered aren’t displayed on the projector list on the main screen, select “All” from the group select pull-down menu.

Procedure A - For connection examples 1 to 4 (where projectors are installed within the same local network)

(1) Start up “ProjectorView Global+”.

(2) Select “Search Projector” from “Conﬁ guration” of the menu bar on the main screen.

• The projectors connected to LAN are searched automatically.

• Some projectors may require you to enter the password when establishing projector connections for the ﬁ rst time. If the projector password is changed, you need to enter that new password.

<Note>

• Note that a different IP address may be assigned every time you start the projectors. If a connection cannot be established, execute “Search Projector”.

• If you change the IP address in the projector menu after the projectors have been detected, execute “Search Projector” again.

• If several projectors with the same IP address are registered, delete the ones which are not connected to the network from “Edit Projector Setting”.

• Ensure that the IP address of the computer and that of the projector are in the same network group. (The last octet of the IP address should contain a different value.)

• Be sure to make a note of the IP addresses you set. If you forget the IP addresses, you may not be able to detect the projectors again.

• It is recommended that you assign an IP address of the projector to the ﬁ xed IP address.

EN-12

When Power ON and Power OFF are enabled, their time settings are indicated on the schedule list.

[Example] When setting the schedule for the group “group 1” to turn the power supply ON at 8:00 on Monday,

turning OFF at 18:00 on the same day, ON at 8:40 on Thursday, and OFF at 17:00 on Friday.

• Up to ten schedules can be conﬁ gured, using the four rows in the table. (You can conﬁ gure a schedule for

each row.)

• By default, when no schedule is entered, the table has only one row. A new row is automatically

added when you enter the items for , , , and  in the ﬁ rst row. In this manner, up to ten rows are automatically added to the table.

(3) Click [Exit] to close the window.

<Note>

• Once a schedule has been conﬁ gured, it is executed automatically even if the Visual PA2 window is not displayed.

• If you send messages manually from Visual PA2 when a schedule is being executed, these messages have higher priority over that schedule. In addition, when the settings of a schedule currently being executed are reconﬁ gered, the Visual PA2 window will close automatically.

• More than one schedule cannot be conﬁ gured at the same time on the same day.

• The Schedule Setting will be executed while “ProjectorView Global+” is in operation.

• Depending on usage conditions, such as when there are so many projectors to control, time lapses may occur between the start time of Visual PA2 and the start time of a schedule.

• When Network Time Protocol (NTP) is used to automatically synchronize with an Internet time server, the start time of a pre-conﬁ gured schedule may not match the clock of the projector, and the schedule may not be executed.

• When the automatic time adjustment by summer time is valid, the schedule operation may not be executed because the time is automatically adjusted before and after switching over.

12. Others

12.1. Troubleshooting

• The projector can not be recognized.

The projector may not be recognized automatically due to the setting of ﬁ re wall. In such case, the communication of “ProjectorView Global+” should be registered as an exception to the ﬁ re wall. For the setting of the ﬁ re wall, see the manual of the software that conﬁ gures the ﬁ re wall.

• Operation by the remote controller can not be properly performed.

The operation may not be performed until the last operation has been completed. In such case, wait for a while and perform the operation again. In addition, conﬁ rm whether the network setting such as IP address is correct.

• Application becomes “No reply”.

Since it may take time for processing of the automatic status acquisition, the application can not be operated during that time, and “No reply” may be displayed. Wait for a while until the processing has been ended.

• Application cannot be operated sometimes.

The application cannot be operated during the acquisition of the projector status. When the main power of the projector is off or projectors not actually connected are registered, the projector status acquisition may take longer time to complete because it waits until time out. In this case, you can reduce the acquisition time by deleting unnecessary registered projectors.

• Projectors cannot be controlled. Projector status isn’t displayed.

Restart the application. If the problem persists, try “Network Initialization” or "NETWORK RESET" in the projector menu. In that case, you need to make settings of the projector again, because they are reset to the default values.

• Projectors become not found.

When the projectors are in standby and the "STANDBY MODE" setting is "LOW" in the projector menu, the LAN function is disabled and cannot be found by "Projector View Global+". In that case, change the "STANDBY MODE" settings appropriately.

• ProjectorView Global+ crushes when Visual PA2 is enabled or [Send] button is clicked.

Copy "MSCOMCTL.OCX" in "C:\ProjectorView Global+\" to "C:\WINDOWS\System32\". If there is another "MSCOMCTL.OCX" in "C:\WINDOWS\System32\", backup the ﬁ le to somewhere else before overwriting the ﬁ le. If overwriting "MSCOMCTL.OCX" causes the malfunctioning of other application softwares, change "MSCOMCTL.OCX" to the original ﬁ le.

12.2. Supported projectors
