NOTE:
Recommended for network administrators only.
DHCP
Enable this checkbox if you want a DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address that is valid and unique
for use on the current Ethernet network. On networks without a DHCP server, or to override the automatic
DHCP server function, delete the checkmark and enter the new “IP Address” settings desired.

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 a previous IP address, such as the projector’s factory-defined default (0.0.0.0), or one
that is 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 1024, as these ports are typically reserved for and used by common network applications.
Subnet Mask and Default Gateway
The Subnet Mask and Default Gateway are automatically assigned when DHCP is enabled. If a static IP is
used, these must be assigned. The Default Gateway is an optional router device used to send and receive data
outside the subnet. The address is provided by the system administrator.
ArtNet Interface Settings — SUBMENU
ArtNet is an Ethernet communication protocol that was developed by Artistic Licence and using the DMX512 control
protocol. It is used for controlling lighting and staging equipment from a lighting console or PC application..
ARTNET SUBNET
This is the highest level address for a device, typically set to 0
ARTNET UNIVERSE
Each data packet is broadcasted to all devices plugged into a universe (maximum 512
devices/channels).
ARTNET CHANNEL
Allows you to specify the starting channel for this projector. (512 channels per universe)
ARTNET ADVANCED MODE
When 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 implemented and are reserved for future use.
