Setting Up Serial Communication

The RS-232C Serial Communication Kit allows your computer and projector to communicate so you can access the projector menus from your computer and use the remote control to control your computer. The kit consists of a cable, a Macintosh adapter, and two software utilities: ELP Link and ELP Remote Programmer.

Instructions for installing the cable and software are given in the next two sections. For information on using ELP Link, see Chapters 2 and 3. For information on the ELP Remote Programmer, see Chapter 4.

By default, the Serial setting in the Options menu is on to enable communication when the Serial Communication Kit is installed. If, after installing the kit, you cannot enable communication, make sure the Serial setting has not been turned off. See Chapter 3 for more information about the menus.

To connect the serial RS-232C cable to your computer and projector:

1.Connect one end of the serial RS-232C cable to the projector’s RS-232C connector.

2.If you have a Macintosh, attach the RS-232C adapter to the modem port on the Macintosh.
