RS-232C Speci???cations and Commands

Computer control

A computer can be used to control the projector by connecting an RS-232C serial control cable (cross type, commercially available) to the projector. (See page 24 of the projector's operation manual for connection.)

Communication conditions

Set the serial port settings of the computer to match that of the table.

*Set the projector's baud rate to the same rate as used by the computer.

Basic format

Commands from the computer are sent in the following order: command, parameter, and return code. After the projector processes the command from the computer, it sends a response code to the computer.

Info

???When controlling the projector using RS-232C commands from a computer, wait for at least 30 seconds after the power has been turned on, and then transmit the commands.

???After sending an input selection or picture adjustment command and then receiving an ???OK??? response code, the projector may take some time to process the command. If a second command is sent while the projector is still processing the ??? rst command, you may receive an ???ERR??? response code. If this happens, try resending the second command.

???When more than one code is being sent, send each command only after the response code for the previous command from the projector is veri??? ed.

??????POWR???????, ???TABN _ _ _ 1???, ???TLPS _ _ _ 1???, ???TPOW _ _ _ 1???, ???TLPN _ _ _ 1???, ???TLTT _ _ _ 1???, ???TLTM _ _ _ 1???, ???TLTL _ _ _ 1???, ???TNAM _ _ _ 1???, ???MNRD _ _ _ 1???, ???PJN0 _ _ _ 1???

???When the projector receives the special commands shown above:

*The on-screen display will not disappear.

*The ???Auto Power Off??? timer will not be reset.

???The special commands are available for applications that require continuous polling.

Note

???If an underbar (_) appears in the parameter column, enter a space.

???If an asterisk (*) appears in the parameter column, enter a value in the range indicated in brackets under Control Contents.

PJLinkTM Compliant:

This product conforms with the PJLink standard Class 1 and all Class 1 commands are implemented. This product con??? rms with the PJLink standard speci??? cation version 1.00.

Setting up the Projector Network Environment

This section describes the basic procedure for using the projector via the network.

If the network is already constructed, the projector's network settings may need to be changed. Please consult your network administrator for assistance with these settings. You can make network settings both on the projector and on the computer. The following procedure is for making settings on the computer.

Network settings on the computer

1. Connecting the projector to a computer

Connect a LAN cable (Category 5, cross-over type) between the computer and projector.

LAN cable (commercially available)

Page 10

2. Setting an IP address for the computer

Adjust the IP settings of the computer to enable one-to-one communications with the projector.

Temporarily change the computer's IP address.

Pages 11, 12

3. Setting up a network connection for the projector

Adjust the projector network settings to conform to your network.

Use Internet Explorer (version 5.0 or later) to make various projector settings.

Troubleshooting

Communication cannot be established with the projector

When connecting the projector using serial-connection

\Check that the RS-232C terminal of the projector and a computer or the commercially available controller are connected correctly.

\Check that the RS-232C cable is a cross-over cable.

\Check that the RS-232C port setting for the projector corresponds to the setting for the computer or the commercially available controller.

When connecting the projector to a computer using network (LAN)- connection

\Check that the cable's connector is ??? rmly inserted in the LAN terminal of the projector.

\Check that the cable is ??? rmly inserted into a LAN port for a computer or a network device such as a hub.

\Check that the LAN cable is a Category 5 cable.

\Check that the LAN cable is a cross-over cable when connecting the projector to a computer directly.

\Check that the LAN cable is a straight-through cable when connecting the projector with a network device such as a hub.

\Check that the power supply is turned on for the network device such as a hub between the projector and a computer.

Check the network settings for the computer and the projector

\Check the following network settings for the projector.

???IP Address

Check that the IP address for the projector is not duplicated on the network.

???Subnet Mask

When the gateway setting for the projector is ???0.0.0.0??? (Not Used), or the gateway setting for the projector and the default gateway setting for the computer are the same:

???The subnet masks for the projector and the computer should be the same.

???The IP address parts shown by the subnet mask for the projector and the computer should be the same.

(Example)

When the IP address is ???192.168.150.2??? and the subnet mask is ???255.255.255.0??? for the projector, the IP address for the computer should be ???192.168.150.X??? (X=3-254) and the subnet mask should be ???255.255.255.0???.

???Gateway

When the gateway setting for the projector is ???0.0.0.0??? (Not Used), or the gateway setting for the projector and the default gateway setting for the computer are the same:

???The subnets for the projector and the computer should be the same.

???The IP address parts shown by the subnet mask for the projector and the computer should be the same.

(Example)

Note

???When ???DHCP Client??? is set to ???OFF??? on the projector: IP address: 192.168.150.2

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway address: 0.0.0.0 (Not Used)

???For network settings for the projector, refer to page 13 .

Troubleshooting

\Take the following steps for checking the network settings for the computer.

1.Open a command prompt.

???In the case of Windows?? 2000: click ???start??? ??? ???Programs??? ??? ???Accessories???

??????Command Prompt??? in order.

???In the case of Windows?? XP, Windows Vista??: click ???start??? ??? ???All Programs???

??????Accessories??? ??? ???Command Prompt??? in order.

2.After launching the command prompt, enter the command ???ipcon??? g???, and press the ???Enter??? key.

Note

???Communication may not be established even after carrying out the network settings for the computer. In such cases, restart your computer.

C:\>ipcon??? g

Note

??? Usage examples of ipcon??? g

3. To return to the Windows?? screen, enter ???exit??? and press the ???Enter??? key.

Troubleshooting

\Check if the ???TCP/IP??? protocol is operating correctly using the ???PING??? command. Also, check if an IP address is set.

1.Open a command prompt.

???In the case of Windows?? 2000: click ???start??? ??? ???Programs??? ??? ???Accessories??? ??? ???Command Prompt??? in order.

???In the case of Windows?? XP, Windows Vista??: click ???start??? ??? ???All Programs??? ??? ???Accessories??? ??? ???Command Prompt??? in order.

2.After launching the command prompt enter a command ???PING???. Entry example C:\>ping XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

???XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX??? should be entered with an IP address to be connected to, such as the projector.

3.When connecting normally, the display will be as follows.

(The screen may be slightly different depending on the OS type.) <Example> when the IP address connected to is ???192.168.150.1???

4.When a command cannot be sent, ???Request time out??? will be displayed. Check the network setting again.

If communication can still not be established properly, contact your network administrator.

5.To return to the Windows?? screen, enter ???exit??? and then press the ???Enter??? key.

\When the projector cannot be connected, even though the ???PING??? command is checked:

1.When ???Accept IP Address??? is set on the projector, set the IP address of the PC to be connected.

2.When a security software is installed on the PC, or when a ??? re wall has been set up for the network system, connection may not be possible. Consult the system administrator when, for example, you want to change the settings to enable use of the TCP port set as the data port.

3.When neither of the above two items applies, change the settings for the data port.

A connection cannot be made because you have forgotten your user name or your password.

\Initialize the settings. (See page 51 of the projector's operation manual.)

\After the initialization, carry out setting again.
