Section 3: Operation
Settings in the Communications submenu define and control how single or multiple
projectors are can link with each other and with a controlling device.
Baud Rates
The baud rate setting determines the speed of communication to and from the projector
on the RS232 or RS422 links. The maximum rate for either standard is 115200. The default
baud rate for use with the DHD Controller is 115200. If this is changed, communication
with the DHD Controller will be lost.
Projector
Enter a three-digit number (such as “001”) to assign or change a number to the projector
currently in use. If the current projector already has a number assigned, that number will
appear here (for example, “004” in Figure 3.14, above). Numerical identity for projectors
enables you to communicate with a single projector within a multiple-projector application
(see also Proj key in 3.2,
Using the Keypads
). If you make a mistake in assigning or
changing the projector number, press Exit to cancel.
NOTE: This feature is not used when the projector is used with the DHD Controller.
Network Routing
NOTE: 1) Not applicable for stand-alone projectors or simple serial networks with only
one type of controller and linking.
SEPARATE:
Select “Separate” (factory default) to keep RS232, RS422 and Ethernet
messages on their respective paths instead of being broadcast to the other types of
ports. In Figure 3.15A, RS422 controls only the projector to which it is connected. In
Figure 3.15B, either RS232 or RS422 will control the network.
NOTE: This feature is not used when the projector is used with the DHD Controller.
