The DPxK B-series projector can be c onnected to a LAN (local area network) using one of the Ethernet ports (1). O nce connected
to the LA N, users can access the projector from any location, inside or outside (if allowed) their company netw ork using the Com-
municator software. This software locates the projector on the network if there is a DHCP server or the user can insert the correct
IP-address to access the projector. Once acce ssed, it is possible to check and manipulate all the projector settings. Remote diag-
nostics, control and monitoring of the projector can then become a daily and very simple operation. The network connectivity allows
detection of potential errors and consequently im prove service time.
As there is a need to daisy chain projectors when th ey are on an Ethernet network , an Ethernet switch is built in. the incom ing
network is hereby available for the internal PC and for the next device in the c hain. In this wa y a ’star’ network interconnection can
be avoided. The switch use
d is a stand alone 10/100/1000Mb it Ethernet switch. This assures no influenc e on the network sp eed.
RS232 IN
This female D B-9 connector allows you to use a standard s erial cable up to 1 0 me ter to connect t he touch panel interface with the
projector. Note that the RS232 protocol is used on this connection.
RS232
An Electronic Industries Association (EIA) serial digital interface standard specifying the characteristics of the commu-
nication path between two devices using either D-SU B 9 pins or D-SUB 25 pins connectors. This s tandard is used for
relatively short-r
ange communications and do es no t specify balanced control lines. R S-232 is a se rial control s tandard
with a s et number of conductors, data rate, word length and type of connector to be used. The standard specifies com-
ponent connection standards with regard to computer interface. It is also called RS-232-C, wh ich is the third version
of the RS -232 sta
ndard, and is functionally identical to the CCITT V.24 standard. Logical ’0’ is > + 3V, Logical ’1’ is < -
3V. The ran ge between -3V and +3V is the transition zone.
GENERAL PURPOSE IN/OUT
This 37 pin connector c an be us ed to send or receive trigger signals from other devices. These input/output pins can be programm ed
by macros created on the Communic ator touch panel. See user’s guide of the Touch panel, section Macro editor, for more inform a-
tion about thi
s f unctionality. Note that the General Purpose Inputs accept 24 volt maximum.
3D INTERFACE
Optional port.
