Setting the Projector’s IP Address
Upon connection to most Ethernet networks, each projectors factory default IP address of 0.0.0.0 triggers the 
networks DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to automatically assign an IP address that is 
valid and unique for use on that network. Depending on the network, this DHCP-assigned IP address usually 
remains stable...

Changing the Port #
On some Ethernet networks, firewall restrictions may require that the port number of the projector be changed 
from its default of 3002. If so, enter a new port number in the 
Ethernet Settings menu or include the new 
port# in an XIP serial command sent to the projector. It is highly recommended not to use a port# below 1024, 
as these ports are typically reserved by common IP...

Two Different Serial "Splits"
There are two different split serial network configurations possible (refer to Figure 2-42). Set up according to 
one of the following options as to which one best suits your application needs:
A. Split Network with One Controller. If you have a single controller and want a back-up serial link, connect 
one controller standard (e.g., RS-232) to one physical end of the...

IMPORTANT! Whenever downloading new projector software to networks, use a single-route RS-232
network only. DISCONNECT any redundant serial cabling and select "Separate" for
"Network Routing" in each projector.

2.7.5 Communicating to Certain Ports
If desired, you can isolate your RS-422 communications so that they are not relayed to any other network by 
selecting the RS232 and Ethernet Joined option for Network Routing in the 
Communications menu. 
Messages from the Ethernet will reach the RS-232 network, and vice versa, but RS-422 messages will not.
To isolate your Ethernet from...

2.7.6 Projector Numbers
It is helpful to define a unique 3-digit projector number to each projector connected in a serial network (for 
instance, 001, 002, 003, etc.). These numbers enable you to direct commands to a single projector rather than 
always broadcasting to the entire network. For complete information on how to assign and use projector 
numbers on a serial network, refer to Section 3.8 Adjusting...

2.8.2 Connect to Projector
Connect all four ballast cables. There are two DC power cables, and two communication/control cables to the 
rear of the projector and to the lamp ballast. Refer to Figure 2-2
.
2.9 Initial Switch On
When the ballast has been properly configured (refer to Section 2.8 Connecting the Ballast) and connected to 
the projection head, connect its integral line cord to AC.

Before you begin:
Properly position the projector relative to the screen (refer back to Section 2.3 Projector Position and 
Mounting).
Basic Optical Alignment Procedure
1. Display a test pattern appropriate for analyzing image focus and geometry, such as a single crosshair 
centered across the image.
2.Course focus. Do a quick preliminary focus and (if available) zoom adjustment with the primary lens only....

2.12.2 Adjust Left/Right Boresight
1. Adjust focus at the far left center edge of the image. If possible, reduce image size for easier image 
analysis.
2. If the image appears well-focused on the left edge, but not on the right, then the boresight currently differs 
from one side to the other. For example, the right side of the image is well-focused either in front of or 
behind the screen surface rather...
