As an alternative to the projector’s keypad or remote, you may wish to communicate 
with the projector using a PC or other controller. Such a device sends commands and 
receives feedback via serial links (RS232 and RS422), Ethernet or GPIO 
communications to the projector, all described below. 
As desired, direct the projector’s IR remote towards the display screen or the 
projector’s IR sensors....

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. 
CONNECTING TO A PC: If you are connecting the Ethernet port directly to a PC (rather 
than a network or hub),...

Regardless of how it is assigned, once a projector has a valid and unique address it 
will respond to commands sent to this address. To determine the projector’s current IP 
address, consult the Status or Communications menus. 
Refer to Section 3 for further information about setting up and using a projector 
connected via Ethernet. 
RS-232 NETWORK: If you want to connect multiple projectors in a network with...

Note that communication parameters such as baud rate must be set to match the 
particular controlling device before connecting as a network—refer to the 
documentation that came with your controlling device in order to determine the proper 
baud rate. See 3.6, Adjusting System Parameters and Advanced Controls if you need help 
changing the projector baud rate. In addition, set the Network Routing to...

Figure 2.20. Setting the Projector’s IP Address 
Note that if a projector’s IP address is anything other than 0.0.0.0  (shown as 
000.000.000.000 in the Ethernet Settings menu) upon connection to an Ethernet 
network, or if DHCP is not available on the network, the automatic DHCP server 
function for supplying a valid and unique IP address to the projector is disabled. 
Instead, a specific and static IP...

To isolate just RS422 communications, select “RS232 and Ethernet Joined”. In Figure 
2.21. only projector #3 will respond to the RS422 controller. To isolate just Ethernet 
communications, select “RS232 and RS422 Joined”—only projector #1 will respond 
via Ethernet. 
 
The GPIO (General Purpose Input Output) connector on the input panel can be used 
to provide a method of interfacing a wide range of external I/O...

This section explains how to effectively operate the projector once it has been 
installed. It is recommended that you read this section and familiarize yourself with 
the components and the available menu options before you begin using your projector 
for the first time.

(3) The AC receptacle is located on the right side of the projector (opposite side of 
lamp doors). Use this outlet to plug in an appropriately rated line cord. See 2.6 Power 
Connection for details.  
The input voltage to the projector must be capable of 100 – 240 VAC. See also 
Section 6 – Specifications for complete details on all power requirements. 
(4) Located on the bottom of the projector are 3 adjustable feet. You can...

(6) & (11) The two IR sensors located on the projector receive transmissions from the 
IR remote from up to 100 feet away. It is important to keep the transmission path to 
these sensors unobstructed for uninterrupted communications with the projector. The 
front IR sensor is located next to the projector’s nameplate and the rear IR sensor is 
located just below the input panel.

The IR remote controls the projector by way of wireless communications from a 
battery-powered infrared (IR) transmitter. Use the IR remote the same way you would 
use a remote control supplied with a TV or VCR. When making key presses, direct the 
keypad either toward the screen or toward the front or rear of the projector. One of the 
two IR sensors on the projector will detect the signals and relay the commands for 
internal...
