Section 3: Operation

VIA ASCII MESSAGING — Connect a serial link between your controller and the RS232 or RS422 port (recommended), or open an Ethernet socket (i.e., Telnet) between your controller and the valid projector address. Valid ASCII codes and messages are documented in the Christie Serial Communications document available at the Christie website.

VIA WEB INTERFACE — Connect your PC to the projector’s Ethernet port. In your web browser (Internet Explorer, for example), enter the IP address of the projector you wish to control. This will start a password-protected ChristieNET application—enter the factory default “ccm7” login and password to open the program. If the projector is powered up, you can access assorted menu options and slidebars.

Repeat for remaining networked projectors as desired. Keep in mind that multiple units can be controlled from one PC, but each unit will be in its own ChristieNET interface (web browser) at the PC. Likewise, you can make up to five separate web locations to a single projector.

The default login provides access to security settings, where you can define other users with the same or fewer rights. Use “unlimited” rights for most applications. For all logins, the Service menu is still protected with its own password.

NOTES: 1) Any proxy server settings that interfere with this type of link should be disabled for using ChristieNET. Disable through Internet Explorer’s < Tools> <Internet Options> <Connections> <LAN Settings>. 2) Your PC must be Java- enabled to v1.4.2 or higher to run ChristieNET. 3) Depending on your projector model, certain controls provided through ChristieNET are non-functional.

Occasionally the projector will encounter an error condition that can interrupt normal 3.12 Error Conditions operation. Such a condition can be caused by a simple invalid keypad entry, an input

signal error (most common) or a system error. The manner in which users are to be notified of error conditions is set in the Menu Preferences menu:

•To see error messages displayed on-screen, select the “Screen” option

•To be notified via a serial communication only, select the “RS232” option.

•To receive both types of notifications, select “All”.

•To disable error messages (except for “invalid user key entry”, which can’t be hidden), select “Off”.

The two-digit error code that corresponds to the message appears in the LED status display window located next to the built-in keypad (Figure 3.36.). NOTE: During normal operation the status code “On” appears.
