RS 232 AND LAN CONTROL

RS 232

You may control and monitor the projector remotely through the serial RS232 control interface.

The RS232 protocol is a binary protocol where each command is a series of 32 bytes in one packet. The protocol allows for both SET and GET operations. To utilize GET operations the host needs a routine for receiving and interpreting incoming packets. SET- operations are used to force the projector into different modes, like setting brightness and contrast, switching between sources, etc.

A separate document “RS-232 and LAN communication protocol and command set” is available that describes the communications parameters and operational codes in detail.

LAN

The projector can be controlled and monitored using through the LAN connector as an alternative to RS232.

LAN control is based on the same command set as RS232.

NOTE! THE PROJECTOR IS CONFIGURED WITH A DEFAULT IP ADDRESS. SEE THE SYSTEM INFORMATION AVAILABLE THROUGH THE MENU SYSTEM OR REMOTE CONTROL FOR THE ACTUAL IP-ADDRESS.

Detailed descriptions of configuration, use and command set is described in a separate document “RS-232 and LAN communication protocol and command set”.

You may consider using the LAN interface as a means of theft- detection. When the projector is removed, the LAN will be disconnected; this may be detected over the local area network and could be used to trigger an alarm.
