Installation and Connection2-16
2-17Connecting to a Network
This product can use network functions. Refer to the following Network connection method.
2-17-1. Connecting to a Dynamic IP (DHCP) Network
You can attach the projector to your network through a modem that uses DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol). When
you use a DHCP modem, the modem automatically provides the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway values that the projector
needs to access the network.
To connect to a DHCP network, follow these steps :
1. Connect the modem cable between the modem port on the wall and the external modem.
2. Connect a LAN cable between the external modem and the wired or wireless IP router.
3. Connect a LAN cable between the [LAN] port on the back of the projector and the wired or wireless IP router.
4. Turn the projector on and press the [MENU] button.
6. The projector automatically acquires the IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway.
•To use the network function, <Network> must be set to <On>.
•If the IP address allotment from the DHCP server fails, turn off the external modem for more than 10 seconds, restart the
modem, and then retry the connection.
For instructions on the setup and connection of the external modem and router, refer to the user manual for each product.
•
•
You can connect the LAN cable from the modem directly to the projector, You do not need a router.
•You can not use a manual connection-type ADSL modem because it is not a DHCP-type device. Make sure to use an
automatic
connection DHCP ADSL modem.
2-17Installation and Connection
2-17-2. Connecting to a Static IP Network
You can attach the projector to a network that uses a Static IP address, which corresponds to using a dedicated lease line. If your
network uses Static IP addresses, you must get the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway values from your Internet Service
Provider (ISP), turn on the Network function in the projector's Menu, and then enter the values into the Network function
manually.
To connect to a Static IP address network, follow these steps :
1. Connect a LAN cable between the LAN port on the wall and a wired or wireless IP router.
2. Connect a LAN cable between the [LAN] port on the back of the projector and the wired or wireless IP router.
3. Turn on the projector, and then press the [MENU] button.
Use the / buttons to navigate between each IP Address entry field and the
/ buttons to enter values.
6. When done entering all the values for IP Address, press the
[] button
and then repeat the steps for Subnet mask and
Gateway.
7. When all values have been filled in, press the [MENU] or [RETURN] button to exit the setup menu.
•To use the network function, <Network> must be set to <On>.
•If you use a static IP, your ISP will inform you of your IP address, subnet mask and gateway. These values must be
entered to complete your network setup. If you do not know your static IP address, consult your network administrator.
•For instructions on the setup and connection of the router, refer to the router’s user manual.
You can connect the LAN cable directly to the projector without using a router.
•
•
If you use an IP Router which supports the DHCP function, you can set the router to either DHCP or static IP.
•
For instructions on the use of a static IP, consult your Internet service provider.

The LCD panel used in the LCD projector consists of hundreds of thousands of fine pixels. Like other video display
devices, the LCD panel may contain bad pixels which do not operate. When shipping a product, the conditions for
identifying bad pixels and the number of bad pixels that a LCD panel is allowed to contain are strictly managed in
accordance with the relevant specified standards by the LCD panel manufacturer and our company. Though a screen
may have some dead pixels, this does not affect the overall screen quality and the lifetime of the product.

Serial Communication Protocol
1. Command Packet Structure [7bytes]
0x080x22cmd1cmd2cmd3valueCS
•A command packet consists of 7 bytes in total.
•The two bytes 0x08 and 0x22 signify that the packet is for serial communication.
•The following 4 bytes represent a pre-defined command that can be defined by the user.
•The last byte is the checksum which checks the validity of the current packet.
•Header [2 Byte]: Pre-defined values fixed to 0x08 and 0x22.
•Cmd1 [1 Byte]: The first value of the code defined in the command list (Hexadecimal)
•Cmd2 [1 Byte]: The second value of the code defined in the command list (Hexadecimal)
•Cmd3 [1 Byte]: The third value of the code defined in the command list (Hexadecimal)
•Value [1 Byte]: Input parameter for the command (Default: 0) (Hexadecimal)
•CS [1 Byte]: Checksum (the 2’s complement of the sum of all the values except for the CS value.)
2. Response Packet Structure [3 Bytes]
1. Success
0x030x0C0xF1
2. Fail
0x030x0C0xFF
•When the received packet from an external device has a valid value, a Success packet is sent. Otherwise, a Fail
packet is sent.
•A Fail packet is sent if:
•The received packet length is not equal to 7 bytes.
•The 2 byte packet header value is not equal to 0x08, 0x22.
•The check sum is incorrect.
•Failure detection by an external device
•An external device classifies the packet as Fail if it does not receive a Success packet within 100ms.
