RS232 Network
In an RS232 network the controller can communicate with the first projector and the command can
be relayed to each serially connected projector.
1. Connect the controller to one projector by connecting a serial cable between the PC and the
RS232 IN port on the input panel.
2. Connect a serial cable between the RS232 OUT connector of the first projector and the RS232
IN connector of the next projector.
3. Connect the remaining projectors.
4. Set the RS232 serial options in Configuration > Communications > Serial (RS232 IN)
Options. See Communications on page 50.
5. Set network routing in Configuration > Communications > Network Routing to RS232
and RS422 Joined. See Network Routing on page 50 .
Mixed Serial Network (RS232 and RS422)
RS422 serial communication is better over long distances than RS232 communication. Use the 
RS422 port only if your device has RS422 capability. Always read the equipment literature before
connecting. In the RS422 network the controller can communicate with the first projector and the
command can be relayed to each serially connected projector.
1. Connect the controller to one projector by connecting an RS422 serial cable between the PC
and the RS422 port on the input panel.
Using the wrong type of serial cable can damage the projector. RS232 communication cables
must be of good quality and no more than 25 ft (7.62 m) in length. Failure to comply may
result in equipment damage.
Do not connect incompatible equipment, including the wrong type of serial cable to the 
RS422 port. Failure to comply could cause equipment damage.
