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. 
Regardless of how it is assigned, once a 
projector has a valid and unique address it 
will respond to commands sent to this 
address. To determine the projector’s 
current IP address, consult the 

Status

 or 

Communications

 menus. 

Refer to 

Section 3

 for further information 

about setting up and using a projector 
connected via Ethernet. 

 

RS-232 NETWORK:

 If you want to connect multiple projectors in a network with 

serial communication, connect the controlling source to the RS232 IN connector 
of the first projector in the network. Then take another serial communication 
cable and connect one end to the RS232 OUT connector and the other end to the 
RS232 IN connector of the next projector. Continue this pattern of connection 
with all projectors in the network. The last projector in the network will only 
have a connection to the RS232 IN connector. See 

Figure 2.21

Figure 2.21. Communicating through RS-232 

MIXED NETWORK

: To control multiple projectors with a computer/controller having 

an RS422 interface, first set them all to the same baud rate as your RS422 controller.
