Chapter 5 Operations — Network connection
128 - ENGLISH
f Connect a LAN cable to send/receive the Ethernet signal to the <LAN> terminal or the <DIGITAL LINK/LAN> terminal of the projector.
f Use a straight or crossover LAN cable that is compatible with CAT5 or higher. Either the straight or the crossover cable, or both cables
can be used depending on the system conguration. 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.

Attention
f When a LAN cable is directly connected to the projector, the network connection must be made indoors.
Note
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
f The maximum transmission distance between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector is 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. However, the signal that the
projector can receive is only up to 1080/60p (1 920 x 1 080 dots, dot clock frequency 148.5 MHz) for the long-reach communication method.
If this distance is exceeded, image may be disrupted or a malfunction may occur in LAN communication.
f When laying cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, conrm that cable characteristics are compatible with
CAT5e or higher using tools such as a cable tester or cable analyzer.
When a relay connector is used, include it in the measurement.
f Do not use a hub between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector.
f Do not pull cables forcefully. Also, do not bend or fold cables unnecessarily.
f To reduce the effects of noise as much as possible, stretch out the cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector
without any loops.
f Lay the cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector away from other cables, particularly power cables.
f When laying multiple cables, run them side by side along the shortest distance possible without bundling them together.
f After laying the cables, go to the [NETWORK] menu → [DIGITAL LINK STATUS] and conrm that the value of [SIGNAL QUALITY] is
displayed in green which indicates normal quality.
f For twisted-pair-cable transmitters of other manufacturers of which the operation has been veried with the projector, visit the Panasonic
website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/). Note that the verication for devices of other manufacturers has been made for the items set
by Panasonic Corporation, and not all the operations have been veried. For operation or performance problems caused by the devices of
other manufacturers, contact the respective manufacturers.
Setting the projector
1) Connect the projector to a computer using a LAN cable.
2) Turn on the power of the projector.
3) Press the <MENU> button to open the [NETWORK] menu, select [NETWORK SETUP], and press the
<ENTER> button.
4) Perform the [NETWORK SETUP] setting.
f Refer to [NETWORK SETUP] (x page 123) for details.
Note
f To connect to an existing network, perform after consulting your network administrator.
