Connecting via wired LAN
This projector can receive the Ethernet signal from the twisted-pair-cable transmitter together with the video,
audio, and serial control signal via a LAN cable.

Attention
f
When a LAN cable is directly connected to the projector, the network connection must be made indoors.
Note
f
A LAN cable is required to use the network function via wired LAN.
f
Connect a LAN cable to send and receive the Ethernet signal to the <LAN> terminal or the <DIGITAL LINK/LAN> terminal of the projector.
f
Use a straight or crossover LAN cable that is compatible with CAT5 or higher. Either the straight or the crossover cable, or both cables
can be used depending on the system configuration. Consult your network administrator. The projector will determine the type of the cable
(straight or crossover) automatically.
f
Use a LAN cable of 100 m (328'1") or shorter.

Note
f
For the LAN cable between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, use a cable that meets the following criteria:
g
Conforming to CAT5e or higher standards
g
Shielded type (including connectors)
g
Straight-through
g
Single wire
f
The maximum transmission distance between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector is 100 m (328'1"). It is possible to transmit
up to 150 m (492'2") if the twisted-pair-cable transmitter supports the long-reach communication method. However, the signal that the
projector can receive is only up to 1080/60p (1 920 x 1 080 dots, dot clock frequency 148.5 MHz) for the long-reach communication method.
If this distance is exceeded, image may be disrupted or a malfunction may occur in LAN communication.
