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.
