Installation

Notice about system construction

For installation of multiple projectors into the same network with Network Board.

Do not install multiple projectors with Network Boards that have their default network settings to the same network. The use of the Network Boards which have the default IP address set to the same network settings will cause IP addresses to collide and create a malfunction. When you install multiple projectors into the same network, configure the network with the following steps.

1. Change the IP address from the default IP address. To change the IP address, use the network setting menu on the projector. Please see chapter “Network Configuration” on page 15 for further information.

2. Make sure that there is no network equipment set with the same IP address in the network, and then connect to the network.

3. When installing other projectors, follow the above steps to change the IP address and connect to the network.

In case of installing the projector with Network Board into the network constructed with the DHCP/BOOTP server.

This Network Board does not support the DHCP/BOOTP server. The static IP address must be configured by the manual. To use this product in this network environment, set it up so that the DHCP/BOOTP server does not assign the IP address configured to this product for another device on the network. Please consult your network administrator for further information.

2. Change network configuration of the computer and projector as shown in the example below.

(Projector setting) IP Address : 192.168.0.2 Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 Default gateway : 0.0.0.0 DNS : 0.0.0.0

(Computer setting) IP Address : 192.168.0.5 Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0 Default gateway : (blank) DNS : (blank)

3. Enter the projector’s IP address [192.168.0.2] at the “Address” column on the

Web browser. [Note] Make sure that the proxy setting of your web browser is set to “Not use a proxy server”. See further information on page 72.

4. If the login page appears, this product is operating properly. The problems

may be in the network configuration of the computer or in the network. Please try to set up the network by following chapter “Network configuration” on page 15.

If the login page does not appear, please check for proper mounting of this product onto the projector by referring to the “Installation” chapter on pages 9 to 14.

How can I restrict access from the computer.

1. Please use the password authentication function on the login page (p.30).

2. Please use the IP filtering function provided with the gateway (router) to

restrict the accessing from the computer. For further information please consult your network administrator.

Can I access the projector installed on the company’s local area

network from a remote location?

Appendix

There are some ways to access to the projector in the LAN, but you must con-

sult your network administrator.

☛ Use of modem

(Connect to the company’s network from your home or some other places by using modem.)

☛ Use of private line

(Connect to the company’s network from the branch office or maintenance office by using private line.)

☛ Use of internet

(Connect to the company’s network from your home, branch office or some other places by using the internet.)

We use the DHCP/BOOTP server to assign the IP address. Is it

possible to use the Network Board in this network environment?

Possible. As the Network Board does not support the DHCP/BOOTP server, the

fixed IP address must be configured manually. Please consult your network administrator. (p.24)

How can I install several projectors equipped with the Network

Board?

Install and configure network one by one to avoid the IP address collision each

other. (p.24) To configure the IP address please see chapter “Network configuration” on page 15.

How many projectors can I control with multi-control function?

It has been designed to control up to 100 sets but it depends on the network

environment.

Password/Login

What should I do when I forget the password?

Select the Display icon from the Setting menu by using control keys on the

projector and then press the SELECT button. The current password will appear

on the screen. (p.14/17)

Can I register the setting page as a web browser “Favorites” or

“Bookmarks”?

Please add the “Login” page to your “Favorites” or “Bookmarks”. Do not add

the specified setting page because it will not be able to perform the password

authentication correctly.

Operation

Why can't I change the controls in the setting page with web

browser?

Please make sure the projector is turned on. If it is in the standby mode, the

setting is not effective to the projector. To control the projector with a web browser, the projector must be in the powered-on condition. Also, projectors registered for multi-control cannot have any controls changed if they are in standby mode. But timer and clock settings are always effective, even for projectors in standby mode.

Why does it sometimes take a lot of time to complete the page dis-

play?

The display speed of the page depends on the network environment in which

both the projector and computer are placed. It may take much time to complete the page display if network traffic is heavy. Please consult your network administrator. By changing the preference of your web browser to “not show pictures”, you may have page display more quickly at the heavy network traffic. Please see the browser’s on-line help for further information. Also you can select the Text mode for displaying pages quickly (p.26)

Appendix

I use many of the projectors in the network. How can I use names of

the projectors to recognize each projector instead of IP addresses?

You can manage the projectors with nicknames instead of the IP address.

Please see chapter “Control the Multi-Projectors” for further information. (p.49) By registering the projector name and IP address with the DNS server, it can be accessed with the nickname from the any computer referred to the DNS server. Please consult your network administrator. (p.31, 57)

How many numbers of the E-mail addresses can I register in the E-

mail setting page.

You can register up to 10 addresses.

Why am I not receiving E-mail alert messages?

Make sure that the registered E-mail address and SMTP server address are cor-

rect. If the SMTP server is located in your LAN (Local Area network), the address should be set to the SMTP server in your LAN. The SMTP server located outside of your LAN may not be available for security reason. For further information please contact your network administrator. (p.32)

It may be required for the authentication depending on the SMTP server. This product does not support this kind of SMTP server.

Can I develop a driver to control external serial equipment?

This product does not provide any driver software. To control the external

equipment connected to the extra serial port, it should be required to clarify the commands and communication condition defined by each equipment. If they are clarified, it can be controlled by using the Telnet application installed on your computer. Please see chapter “Use of telnet” on page 66.

Can I control the projector by using the telnet application?

Possible. Please refer to the chapter “Control the projector with telnet“ on

page 68.

Can I update the firmware of the Network Board.

It is possible to update the firmware

through the network. It is required

What are the rules for IP address assignment?

If the network is constructed with TCP/IP protocol, a unique IP address is

required for each piece of network equipment. The following are basic rules of the assignment.

Rule1

Do not configure the same IP address to the network equipment in the same network group. Each piece of equipment must be assigned a unique IP address. If the IP address is set [192.168.x.x], the Subnet Mask should be set [255.255.255.0] for example.

Rule2

The start address [xxx.xxx.xxx.0] and the last address [xxx.xxx.xxx.255] of the IP address must not be assigned to any other equipment. These address numbers are reserved.

Rule3

The IP address must correlate to a network number. If network numbers are different between the equipment, they cannot establish communications each other. In this case, the router is placed in the networks to make the routing.

What is the MAC address assigned to the Network Board?

The MAC address is indicated on the printed board as the below.
