Figure 2.12. RS232 Network
Connecting RS-422
If you wish to control the projector with a computer and or other controlling device
with RS-422 capability, connect a RS-422 serial communication cable between the
computer and the RS-422 port on the projector. RS-422 is better suited for serial
communication over long distances then is RS-232 communication.
Use the RS-422 port only if your device had RS-422 capability – always consult
the literature provided with your equipment before connecting. Connecting to the RS-
422 port with incompatible equipment could damage your projector.

Ethernet Communications
To add the projector to an existing Ethernet network with other equipment such as
controllers and other projectors, connect standard CAT5 Ethernet cable between your
Ethernet controller (or hub) and the Ethernet port on the side of the projector.
Upon connection to an Ethernet network, the projector’s factory default IP address of
0.0.0.0.0 will automatically enable the DHCP function (if available on the network) to
assign a new IP address that is valid and unique for that network. Or, if there is no
DHCP function available on the network (or if a specific static IP address for the
projector is preferred or required), you can set the address in the Ethernet Settings
menu or via an ASCII serial command.
