Connecting Multiple

Section 2: Installation and Setup

 

Regardless of how it is assigned, once a projector has a valid and unique address it

 

will respond to commands sent to this address. To determine the projector’s current IP

 

address, consult the Status or Communications menus.

 

Refer to Section 3 for further information about setting up and using a projector

 

connected via Ethernet.

Connecting Multiple

f RS-232 NETWORK: If you want to connect multiple projectors in a network with serial

Projectors

communication, connect the controlling source to the RS232 IN connector of the first

 

projector in the network. Then take another serial communication cable and connect

 

one end to the RS232 OUT connector and the other end to the RS232 IN connector of

 

the next projector. Continue this pattern of connection with all projectors in the

 

network. The last projector in the network will only have a connection to the RS232

 

IN connector. See Figure 2.17.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Figure 2.17. RS232 Network

MIXED NETWORK: To control multiple projectors with a computer/controller having an

RS422 interface, first set them all to the same baud rate as your RS422 controller.

NOTE: You must enable this combination of RS422 and RS232 in the

Communications menu. Set the “Network Routing” option to “RS232 and RS422

Joined”. See Section 3 for details.

Then chain the projectors together by connecting an RS232 port of the first projector (already connected to the computer/controller through the RS422 port) to an RS232 port on the next projector in the chain. Continue connecting projectors in this manner until you’ve reached the last projector in the chain, so that only the last projector has one unused RS232 port. See Figure 2.18.
