2) Connect the projector’s CONTROL port and the device’s RS-232C port with an RS-232C cable, for RS-232C communication.

NOTE

• Before connecting the devices, read the manuals for the devices to ensure the connection.

For RS-232C connection, check the specifications of each port and use the suitable cable. (&“Connection to the ports” in the User’s Manual –

(&OPTION menu – SERVICE – COMMUNICATION in the User’s Manual –


HALF-DUPLEX  FULL-DUPLEX

6.4.1 HALF-DUPLEX

This method lets the projector make two way communication, but only one direction, either transmitting or receiving data, is allowed at a time.

The method does not allow the projector to receive the data from the computer while waiting for response data from an external device. After the projector receives the response data from an external device or the response limit time is past, the projector can receive the data from the computer.

That means that the projector controls transmitting and receiving the data to synchronize the communication.

NOTE

• With using the HALF-DUPLEX method, the projector can send out

254 byte data as maximum at once.

• If it is not required to monitor the response data from an external device and the RESPONSE LIMIT TIME is set to OFF, the projector can receive the data from the computer and send it out to an external device continuously.

The OFF is selected as the default setting.

6.4.2 FULL-DUPLEX

This method lets the projector make two way communication, transmitting and receiving data at the same time, without monitoring response data from an external device.

With using this method, the computer and an external device will send the data out of synchronization. If it is required to synchronize them, set the computer to make the synchronization.

NOTE

• In case that the computer controls to synchronize transmitting and receiving the data, it may not be able to control an external device well depending on the processing status of the projector.

Automatic Connection Break

The TCP connection will be automatically disconnected after there is no communication for 30 seconds after being established.

Authentication

The projector does not accept commands without authentication success when authentication is enabled. The projector uses a challenge response type authentication with an MD5 (Message Digest 5) algorithm.

When the projector is using a LAN, a random 8 bytes will be returned if authentication is enabled. Bind this received 8 bytes and the Authentication

Password and digest this data with the MD5 algorithm and add this in front of the commands to send.

Following is a sample if the Authentication Password is set to “password” and the random 8 bytes are “a572f60c”.

1) Connect the projector.

2) Receive the random 8 bytes “a572f60c” from the projector.

3) Bind the random 8 bytes “a572f60c” and the Authentication Password

“password” and it becomes “a572f60cpassword”.

4) Digest this bind “a572f60cpassword” with MD5 algorithm.

It will be “e3d97429adffa11bce1f7275813d4bde”.

5) Add this “e3d97429adffa11bce1f7275813d4bde” in front of the commands and send the data.

Send “e3d97429adffa11bce1f7275813d4bde”+command.

6) When the sending data is correct, the command will be performed and the reply data will be returned. Otherwise, an authentication error will be returned.

NOTE

• As for the transmission of the second or subsequent commands, the authentication data can be omitted when the same connection.
