97 Using Network Function This unit has a network function and you can control the Display connected to the network using your computer. With OpenPort PLATFORM input, it is also possible to display WEB pages, download applications from the server, etc. Necessary environment for computers to be connected First of all, confirm your computer whether it has a wired LAN or a built-in wireless LAN. Before connecting the Display to the computer, be sure to check the following settings. The requirements described here do not guarantee proper operation of all wireless LAN adapters or wireless LAN adapters incorporated in PCs. ■For wired LAN Check 1: About LAN cable ● Connect the cable properly. ● Use LAN cable that is compatible with category 5 or above. To connect a device using 1000BASE-T, use LAN cable that is compatible with category 5e or above. Check 2: Wired LAN settings Computer with a built-in wired LAN function ● Switch on the wired LAN. Computer without a built-in wired LAN function ● Check that your wired LAN adapter is recognized properly and it is switched on. ● Install the wired LAN adapter driver beforehand. For details on how to install the driver, refer to the instructions accompanying the wired LAN adapter. ■For wireless LAN Check 1: Wireless LAN settings Computer with a built-in wireless LAN function ● Switch on the wireless LAN. Computer without a built-in wireless LAN function ● Check that your wireless LAN adapter is recognized properly and it is switched on. ● Install the wireless LAN adapter driver beforehand. For details on how to install the driver, refer to the instructions accompanying the wireless LAN adapter. Check 2: PC ● If the security (firewall) software or utility software of network card has been installed, connection to the display may not be possible. ● Do not set the network bridge. ● Disable the firewall. Example of network connection Note ● To use the network function, set each item in [WIRELESS & NETWORKS ] in OpenPort PLATFORM. (see page 55) ● To control the display connected to the network using your computer, set each item in [LAN Control ] in OpenPort PLATFORM (see page 54) and make sure to set [ Command Control ] to [ON]. To enable startup from the wired LAN or wireless LAN in standby mode, set [OpenPort PLATFORM standby] to [On]. (see page 83) When it is set to [ On], power indicator lights orange under the condition of power “Off” with remote control (stand-by state). ■LAN Terminal connection USBOpenPort PLATFORM LAN Display (Back of the unit) PC LAN Terminal LAN cable (commercially available) Hub or broadband router Note ● For LAN cable, use shielded cable, otherwise picture noise may be caused. ● Make sure the broadband router or hub supports 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX/1000BASE-T. ● In the network condition where both the wired LAN and wireless LAN operate, the wired LAN is prioritized for operation. When using the wireless LAN, disconnect the wired LAN cable. English
98 ● Touching the LAN Terminal with a statically charged hand (body) may cause damage to the device due to its discharge. Do not touch the LAN Terminal or the metal part of the LAN cable. ● For instructions on connection, consult your network administrator. Command control Network function of the unit can control the unit in the same way as serial control from a network. Supported commands Commands used in the serial control are supported. (see page 27) Control Command via LAN The communication differs whether [LAN Control ] - [Control Protocol ] in OpenPort PLATFORM is set to [Protocol1 ] or [Protocol2 ]. 1.
