3.8 Controlling the external device via the projector
(using the NETWORK BRIDGE function)
This projector is equipped with the NETWORK BRIDGE function to perform
mutual conversion of a network protocol and a serial interface.
Using the NETWORK BRIDGE function, a computer that is connected with
this projector by Ethernet communication can control an external device that is
connected with this projector by RS-232C communication as a network terminal.
3.8.1 Connecting devices
1) Connect the projector’s
LAN
port and the computer’s LAN port with a LAN
cable, for Ethernet communication.
2) Connect the projector’s
CONTROL
port and the device’s RS-232C port with
an RS-232C cable, for RS-232C communication.
• Before connecting the devices, read the manuals for the devices to
ensure the connection.
For RS-232C connection, check the specifications of each port and use
the suitable cable. (
