When web control administrator rights password is not set (Non-protect mode)
Connecting
1)  Obtain the IP address and port number (Initial set value = 1024) of the projector and request for a 
connection to the projector.
 
f You can obtain both the IP address and the port number from the menu screen of the projector.
IP address
Obtain from the main menu → [NETWORK]  → [NETWORK STATUS]
Port number Obtain from the main menu → [NETWORK]  → [NETWORK CONTROL] → [COMMAND PORT]
2) Check the response from the projector.

Basic format
Transmission from the computer starts with STX, then the ID, command, parameter, and ETX are sent in this order. Add parameters according 
to the details of control.

3 command characters (3 bytes) Parameter (undefined length)
Start (1 byte) ZZ, 01 to 64

When transmitting a command which does not need a parameter, an operation (E) and parameter are not necessary.
Attention
 
f If a command is transmitted after the lamp starts illuminating, there may be a delay in response or the command may not be executed.  Try 
sending or receiving any command after 60 seconds.
 
f When transmitting multiple commands, be sure to wait until 0.5 seconds has elapsed after receiving the response from the projector before 
sending the next command. When transmitting a command which does not need a parameter , a colon (:) is not necessary.
Note
 
f If a command cannot be executed, the “ER401” response is sent from the projector to the computer .
 
f If an invalid parameter is sent, the “ER402” response is sent from the projector to the computer .
 
f ID transmission in RS-232C supports ZZ (ALL) and 01 to 64.
 
f If a command is sent with a specified ID, a response will be sent to the computer only in the following cases.
 
g It matches the projector ID
 
g When [PROJECTOR ID] ( x page 88) on the projector is [ALL]
 
f STX and ETX are character codes. STX shown in hexadecimal is 02, and ETX shown in hexadecimal is 03.
