Ethernet Communications
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.
NOTES: 1) Ethernet crossover cable
required if connecting directly to a PC
only. 2) Downloading new software to the
projector via Ethernet is not supported.
Upon connection to an Ethernet network,
the projector’s factory default IP address
of 0.0.0.0 will automatically enable the
DHCP server function (if a DHCP server
is available on the network)—i.e., the
projector will obtain from the DHCP
server a new IP address that is valid and
unique for that network. Or, if there is no
DHCP server present (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 after the next power-up. To
determine the projector’s current IP
address, consult the Status or
Communications menus.
Refer to 3.8, Adjusting System Parameters
and Advanced Controls for further
information about setting up and using a
projector connected via Ethernet.
The GPIO Port
The General Purpose In-Out (GPIO) port enables integration of the projector within
an established control system so that other devices connected via GPIO can operate
in tandem with projector, or vice versa. ASCII commands sent via standard serial
ports can be stored in projector memory, where they can then trigger a sequence of
events in response to incoming or outgoing signals at the GPIO port, depending on
your programming of the GPIO pins. For example, you can automatically dim the
room lighting when the projector is turned on, or automatically turn the projector off
when the lights are raised.
For more information, refer to Appendix E.
