Local Area Network (LAN: 10/100/1000 base-T) ports
The Controller has two Local Area Network (LAN: 10/100/1000 base-T) ports with a built-in Ethernet switch
(port 1 and port 2). Use for projector control and automation. E. g. Touch display, content server, ... (not for
content streaming!)
As there is a need to daisy chain projectors when they are on an Ethernet network, an Ethernet switch is built
in. the incoming network is hereby available for the internal PC and for the next device in the chain. In this way
a 'star' network interconnection can be avoided. The switch used is a stand alone 10/100/1000Mbit Ethernet
switch. This assures no influence on the network speed. Furthermore, this Ethernet switch remains
operational when the projector is in Standby mode.
The connectors used for these Ethernet ports are of the type RJ45, which is compatible with standard RJ45
cable connector. Straight (most common) as well as cross linked network cables can be used. The 2 ports are
functionally identical. Both ports are connected via the projector switch (Auto sensing enabled).
