Controlling Multiple Projectors

If you’re using more than one projector, you can control all the projectors—or just selected ones—by using the projector ID system. To operate a projector, you have to set the remote control’s ID to match that of the projector. Or you can control all of the projectors simultaneously by setting the remote control’s ID to zero.

Setting the Projector ID

The projector’s default ID is 1. If you need to change it, follow these steps:

1.Access the projector’s Advanced2 menu and highlight

Projector ID.

4.When done, press ESC to exit the menu system.

Setting the Remote Control ID

The remote control’s default ID is zero. If you need to change it, follow these steps:

1. Press the ID button on the remote control. You see it light up.

2. Press one of the numbered buttons on the remote control to select the desired ID (0 through 9). Select zero to control all projectors, or select a number to match the ID of the projector(s) you want to operate.

Nine

0 Zero

The ID button’s light shuts off and the new ID is registered.

If you would like to check the remote control’s current ID, press the ID button twice in succession. Count the number of flashes; this number corresponds to the remote control’s ID.

Managing Projectors from a Remote Computer

The EasyManagement software lets you monitor and control projector(s) from a remote computer. These features are intended for use by network administrators.

Use EMP Monitor to see your projectors’ status, switch image sources, and control basic settings.

Use EMP NetworkManager to receive e-mail notifications alerting you to possible problems.

Make sure you install the software (included on the projector’s CD-ROM) on the computer you want to use to monitor your projectors.

Setting Up the Network

Connect each projector you want to monitor to your network and configure it with an appropriate IP address.

1.Connect the projector to your network using a commercially available 100baseTX or 10baseT network cable.
