Chapter 5 Operations — Updating the rmware
276 - ENGLISH
f To connect to the network using the <DIGITAL LINK> terminal, set the [NETWORK] menu → [ETHERNET TYPE] to [DIGITAL LINK] or [LAN
& DIGITAL LINK].
f The <DIGITAL LINK> terminal and the <LAN> terminal are connected inside of the projector when the [NETWORK] menu → [ETHERNET
TYPE] is set to [LAN & DIGITAL LINK]. Do not directly connect the <DIGITAL LINK> terminal and the <LAN> terminal using a LAN
cable. Construct the system so that it is not connected to the same network via the peripherals such as the hub or the twisted-pair-cable
transmitter.
f Use a straight or crossover LAN cable that is compatible with CAT5 or higher for the LAN cable to connect to the <LAN> terminal. Either the
straight or the crossover cable, or both cables can be used depending on the system conguration. Consult your network administrator. The
projector will determine the type of the cable (straight or crossover) automatically.
f Use a LAN cable of 100 m (328'1") or shorter as the LAN cable to connect to the <LAN> terminal.
f For the LAN cable between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, use a cable that meets the following criteria:
g Conforming to CAT5e or higher standards
g Shielded type (including connectors)
g Straight-through
g Single wire
g Diameter of the cable core is same or larger than AWG24 (AWG24, AWG23, etc.)
f The maximum transmission distance between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector is normally 100 m (328'1"). It is possible to
transmit up to 150 m (492'2") if the twisted-pair-cable transmitter supports the long-reach communication method.
f Do not use a hub between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector.
Computer used for updating the rmware
Prepare a computer compatible with the following OS equipped with a LAN terminal.
f Microsoft Windows 10
Windows 10 Pro 32 bit/64 bit, Windows 10 32 bit/64 bit
f Microsoft Windows 8.1
Windows 8.1 Pro 32 bit/64 bit, Windows 8.1 32 bit/64 bit
