[About IP address]

■ Setting manually

The Network address portion of the IP address setting on your computer must be the same as the setting on the projector. Also, the entire IP address on the computer must not overlap with that of the other devices on the same network, including the projector.

The projector’s settings are as follows.

IP address: 192.168.1.254

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

(Network address: 192.168.1 in this case)

Therefore, specify the computer’s IP address as follows.

IP address: 192.168.1.xxx (xxx shows decimal number.)

Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

(Network address: 192.168.1 in this case)

For example

Select from 1 to 254 for “xxx” without duplicating any other equipment.

In this case, as the IP address of the projector is “192.168.1.254”, specify a setting between 1 to 253 for the computer.

■ Setting automatically

When a DHCP server exists in the connected network, it assigns an IP address to the projector and the computer automatically. If DHCP server is not available, set IP ADDRESS, SUBNET MASK and DEFAULT GATEWAY.

NOTE

• Although HDBaseT™ and LAN port can be used for wired LAN, they cannot be used simultaneously. Connect LAN cable to the port set in WIRED

NETWORK on NETWORK menu.

• The same network address cannot be used for both wireless LAN and wired LAN.

• I f the projector and the computer exist in the same network (such as, same network address), leave the default gateway field blank.

• When the projector and the computer exist in different networks, the default gateway must be set. Consult with the network administrator in detail.
