f Use a LAN cable of 100 m (328'1") or shorter.

Attention
f When a LAN cable is directly connected to the projector, cabling must be made indoors.
Note
f For the LAN cable between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, use a cable that meets the following criteria:
g Compatible with CAT5e or higher
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 100 m (328’1”) for the signal with
resolution of 1 920 x 1 200 dots or less. For the signal with the resolution exceeding 1 920 x 1 200 dots, the maximum transmission distance
is 50 m (164’1”). 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 these distances are exceeded, image may be disrupted or a malfunction may occur in LAN
communication.
f When laying cables between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, check that cable characteristics are compatible with CAT5e
or higher using tools such as a cable tester or cable analyzer.
When using a relay connector midway, include it in the measurement.
f Do not use a switching hub between a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector.
f To transmit the Ethernet and serial control signals using the <DIGITAL LINK/LAN> terminal, set the [NETWORK] menu → [ETHERNET
TYPE] to [DIGITAL LINK] or [LAN & DIGITAL LINK].
f To transmit the Ethernet signal using the <LAN> terminal, set the [NETWORK] menu → [ETHERNET TYPE] to [LAN] or [LAN & DIGITAL
LINK].
f The <DIGITAL LINK/LAN> 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/LAN> 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 switching hub or the
twisted-paircable transmitter.
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 a twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector away from other cables, particularly power cables.
f When installing multiple cables, run them side by side along the shortest distance possible without bundling them together.
f After laying the cable, conrm that the value of [SIGNAL QUALITY] in the [NETWORK] menu → [DIGITAL LINK] → [DIGITAL LINK STATUS]
is displayed in green, which indicates a normal quality.
f For twisted-pair-cable transmitter of other manufacturers of which the operation has been veried with the DIGITAL LINK compatible
projector, refer to Panasonic website (https://panasonic.net/cns/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.
Projector settings
1) Connect the projector to a computer using a LAN cable.
2) Turn on the power of the projector.
3) Select the [NETWORK] menu → [WIRED LAN] from the main menu and press the <ENTER> button.
