PJLink security authentication
The password used for PJLink is the same as that of the password set for\
 web control.
When using the projector without security authentication, do not set a p\
assword for web control.
 fFor specifications related to PJLink, refer to the website of Japan Business Machine and Information System 
Industries 

Association.

Using Art-Net function
Since the network function of the projector supports the Art-Net function, you can control the projector settings 
with the DMX controller or application software using the Art-Net protocol.
Channel definition
The following table lists the channel definitions used for controlling the projector with the  Art-Net function.
Channel settings can be switched using the [NETWORK] menu  → [Art-Net SETUP] → [ON(2.X.X.X)]/
[ON(10.X.X.X)]/[ON(MANUAL)]  → [CHANNEL SETUP]. (x
  page   141)
The control content assigned to each channel is as the following table.
