DHCP:
Enable this checkbox if you want a DHCP server to automatically change the
projector’s default IP address (0.0.0.0) to one that is valid and unique for use on the
current Ethernet network. On networks without a DHCP server, or to simply override
the automatic DHCP server function, delete the checkmark and enter the new “IP
Address” settings desired. Remember that only a 0.0.0.0 address will trigger the
DHCP addressing service, and only when the DHCP checkbox is enabled.
IP ADDRESS:
Enter a valid and unique IP address for use on the network to which the
projector is currently connected. This address will overwrite any previous IP address
such as the projector’s factory-defined default (0.0.0.0), or one that has been assigned
by a DHCP server or other user. It takes approximately 10 seconds for the projector
to respond at its new address.
PORT:
On some Ethernet networks, firewall restrictions may require that the port
number of the projector be changed from its default of 3002. If so, enter a new valid
port number here. It is highly recommended not to use a port# below 1000, as these
ports are typically reserved for and used by common IP applications.
SUBNET MASK AND DEFAULT GATEWAY:
The Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are
automatically assigned when DHCP is enabled. If a static IP is being used, the IP
must be assigned first since the projector estimates the subnet mask after the IP is
entered. The Default Gateway is an optional router device used to send and receive
data outside the subnet.
ArtNet Interface Settings
— SUBMENU
ArtNet is an Ethernet communication protocol that was developed by Artistic
Licence. It is used for controlling lighting/staging equipment from a lighting console
or PC application. It is based on the popular DMX512 control protocol.
ArtNet SUBNET:
This is the highest level address for a device. Typically it is set to 0.
ArtNet UNIVERSE:
Each packet of data is broadcasted to all devices plugged into a
universe (up to 512 devices/channels).
ArtNet CHANNEL:
There are 512 channels per universe. This control allows you to
specify the starting channel for this projector.
ArtNet ADVANCED MODE:
When this setting is enabled, each projector listens for data
on 64 channels starting with the base channel. When advanced mode is not in use, the
projector only listens on 10 channels. You can squeeze more devices per universe
when the projector uses fewer channels.
NOTE: The additional 54 functions are not currently implemented and are reserved
for future use.
