Chapter 5 Appendix
Q  We use the DHCP/BOOTP server to assign the IP address. Is it possible to 
use the projector in this network environment?
A 
   
Possible. This projector supports the DHCP/BOOTP server. To use this projector in 
this network environment, set it up so that the DHCP/BOOTP server does not assign 
the IP address configured to this projector for another device on the network. Please 
consult your network administrator (* p p .13 ,  24).
Q  How can I install several projectors?
A 
  
Install and configure network one by one to avoid the IP address collision each 
other. To configure the IP  address please see item "Network configuration" (* p p .12 -
13 ,  24).
Password/Login
Q  What should I do when I forget the IP address of the projector? 
A 
  You can check the IP address in the "Network information" menu.
Q  What should I do when I forget the password (Network PIN code)?
A 
  Please set the new network PIN code in the "Network PIN code" menu.
Q  Can I register the setting page as a web browser "Favorites" or 
"Bookmarks"?
A  
  
Please add "Login" page to your "Favorites" or "Bookmarks". Do not add the speci-
fied setting page because it will not be able to perform the password authentica-
tion correctly.

Q&A
Operation
Q Why can't be turned on/off  with web browser?
A 
  
Please make sure the settings of the projector are correct to use the projector. 
Please set the Standby mode of the projector's Setting menu to "Network". Refer to 
"4. Controlling the Projector" * "Power control and status check" (*	pp.32 - 33).
Q Why can't I change the controls in the setting page with web browser?
A 
  
Please make sure the projector is turned on. If it is in the standby mode, the setting 
is not effective to the projector. To control the projector with a web browser, the 
projector must be in the powered-on condition.
Q Why does it sometimes take a lot of time to complete the page display?
A 
  
The display speed of the page depends on the network environment in which both 
the projector and computer are placed. It may take much time to complete the 
page display if network traffic is heavy. Please consult your network administrator. 
Q  How many numbers of the E-mail address can I register in the E-mail set-
ting page.
A You can register up to 10 addresses.
Q Why am I not receiving E-mail alert messages?
A 
  
Make sure that the registered E-mail address and SMTP  server address are correct. If 
the SMTP server is located in your LAN (Local Area Network), the address should be 
set to the SMTP server in your LAN. The SMTP server located outside of your LAN 
may not be available for security reason. For further information please contact your 
network administrator (*	p.25).

Others
Q What are the rules for IP address assignment?
A  
If the network is constructed with TCP/IP protocol, a unique IP address is required 
for each piece of network equipment. The following are basic rules of the assign-
ment.
 R u l e1
     Do not configure the same IP address to the net work equipment in the 
same network group. Each piece of equipment must be assigned a unique IP 
address.
     If the IP address is set [192.168. x. x], the Subnet Mask should be set 
[255. 255. 255.0] for example.
 Rule2
     The start address [xxx.xxx.xxx.0] and the last address [xxx.xxx.xxx.255] of 
the IP address must not be assigned to any other equipment. These address 
numbers are reserved.
 Rule3
     The IP address must correlate to a network number. If network numbers are 
dif ferent between the equipment, they cannot establish communications 
each other. In this case, the router is placed in the networks to make the rout-
ing.
Q Can I control the projector by using the telnet application?
A  Possible. Please refer to the item "Use of telnet" (*	p.48 - 49).
Q What is the MAC address assigned to the projector?
A   
The MAC address is displayed in "Network information" menu of the projector (*	
p.14) and in "Information" menu through the web browser (*	p.42).

ting" page.

Introducing
This PJ Network Manager is a SNMP manager software for the network equipment which 
supports the private MIB (Management Information Base).
By installing the PJ Network Manager to the computer, you can monitor the equipment 
simply such as the projector, the projection monitor and the flat display monitor connect-
ed to the network.
*  
The PJ Network Manager can handle our products which has a SNMP agent function. 
SNMP
SNMP is an abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol.
On the TCP/IP network, it is the protocol to monitor and control the equipment connected 
to the network.
SNMP realizes the management function by reading and changing the management infor-
mation called MIB with SNMP protocol between the manager (management equipment) 
and agent (controlled equipment) which are connected with TCP/IP network.
