Control commands via LAN

When WEB Control administrator rights password is set (Protect mode)

Connection method

1)Obtain the IP address and port number (Initial set value = 1024) of the projector and make a request for connection to the projector.

Acquire the IP address from the menu screen of the projector, and the port number from the WEB control page.

IP address : Obtain from MAIN MENU → [Network] → [Network status]

Port No. : Acquire from the WEB control “Detailed set up” → “Command port setting” page

2) There is a response from the projector.

Response data

Data section	Blank	Mode	Blank	Random number	Termination
				section	symbol

“NTCONTROL”	‘ ’	‘1’	‘ ’	“zzzzzzzz”	(CR)
				(ASCII code hexadecimal
(ASCII string)	0x20	0x31	0x20		0x0d
				number)

9 bytes	1 byte	1 byte	1 byte	8 bytes	1 byte

Mode : 1 = Protect mode

3) Generate a 32-byte hash value from the following data using MD5 algorithm.

“xxxxxx:yyyyy:zzzzzzzz”

xxxxxx: Administrator rights user name for WEB CONTROL (Default user name is “admin1”)

yyyyy : Password of above administrator rights user (Default password is “panasonic”)

zzzzzzzz : 8-byte random number obtained in Step 2
