Controlling the Projector via Scheduling
Controlling the Projector via Scheduling
The projector can be automatically controlled via scheduling.
• You can schedule the following control events: Power ON/OFF, Input 
Source and Transferred Image Display. 
• There are 3 types of Scheduling, 1) daily 2) day of the week 3) specific date.
• The priority for scheduled events is as follows 1) specific date 2) day of the 
week 3) daily.
• Up to five specific dates are available for scheduled events. Priority is given to 
those with the lower numbers when more than one event has been scheduled\
 
for the same date and time (e.g., ‘Specific day No. 1’ has priority over ‘Specific 
day No. ’ and so on. 
• Be sure to set the date and time before enabling scheduled events.

Controlling the Projector via Scheduling
Date/Time Settings
The Date/Time setting can be adjusted via a web browser.
Example: If the IP address of the projector is set to 192.168.1.10:
• A Network Restart is required after the Daylight Savings Time or 
SNTP configuration settings have been changed.
• The battery for the built in clock may be dead if the clock loses time e\
ven 
when the DATE and TIME have been set correctly. Replace the battery by 
following the instructions on replacing the battery.
(Users Manual - Operating Guide : Replacing Internal Clock battery)
• The Internal Clock’s time may not remain accurate. Using SNTP is 
recommended to maintain accurate time.

Command Control via the Network
Command format
Command formats differ among the different communication ports.
     TCP #23
You can use the RS-232C commands without any changes. The reply data format 
is the same as the RS-232C commands. However, the following reply will be sent 
back in the event of authentication failure when authentication is enabl\
ed.

ReplyError code
0x1F0x040x00
     TCP #9715
Send Data format
The following formatting is added to the header (0x02), Data length (0x0D), 
Checksum (1byte) and Connection ID (1 byte) of the RS-232C commands.
HeaderData lengthRS-232CcommandChecksumConnection ID
0x020x0D13 bytes byte byte
Header → 0x02, Fixed
Data length  → RS-232C commands byte length (0x0D, Fixed)
RS-232C commands  → RS-232C commands that start with 0xBE 0xEF (13 bytes)
Check Sum  →  This is the value to make zero on the addition of the lower 
8 bits from the header to the checksum.
Connection ID  →  Random value from 0 to 255 (This value is attached to 
the reply data)

Command Control via the Network
Automatic Connection Break
The TCP connection will be automatically disconnected after there is no 
communication for 30 seconds after being established.
Authentication
The projector does not accept commands without authentication success 
when authentication is enabled. The projector uses a challenge response type 
authentication with an MD5 (Message Digest 5) algorithm.
When the projector is using a LAN, a random eight bytes will be returned\
 if 
authentication is enabled. Bind this received 8 bytes and the authentication 
password and digest this data with the MD5 algorithm and add this in front of the 
commands to send.
Following is a sample if the authentication password is set to “passw\
ord” and the 
random eight bytes are “a572f60c”.
 ) Select the projector.
 2) Receive the random eight bytes “a572f60c” from the projector.
 3)  Bind the random eight bytes “a572f60c” and the authentication password 
“password” and it becomes “a572f60cpassword”.
 4)  Digest this bind “a572f60cpassword” with MD5 algorithm. 
It will be “e3d97429adffa11bce1f7275813d4bde”.
 5)  
Add this “e3d97429adffa11bce1f7275813d4bde” in front of the commands and 
send the data. 
Send “e3d97429adffa11bce1f7275813d4bde”+command.
 6)   When the sending data is correct, the command will be performed and the 
reply data will be returned. Otherwise, an authentication error will be returned.
