2. Updating TI Boards
2.4 Make an Ethernet connection (10/100 BASE-T)
A crossed or non crossed Ethernet cable can be used. the projector switched automatically for the correct
cable.
The PC’s IP Address MUST be within the same subnet as the projector’s IP Address in order for communica-
tion to be possible. This requires checking the PC’s and projector’s Subnet-Mask settings.
IP address examples
First example
• PC IP Address : 192.168.100.5
• PC Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
• Projector IP Address : 192.168.100.2
• Projector Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Result : Communication possible. PC address is in the subnet range of the projector’s IP address.
Second example
• PC IP Address : 10.16.236.100
• PC Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
• Projector IP Address : 192.168.100.2
• Projector Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Result : No communication possible. PC address is not in the subnet range of the projector’s IP address.
Third example
• PC IP Address : 192.168.200.1
• PC Subnet Mask : 255.255.255.0
• Projector IP Address : 192.168.100.2
• Projector Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Result : No communication possible. PC address is not in the subnet range of the projector’s IP address. The third group in the PC
IP address and Projector IP address must be the same.
Fourth example
• PC IP Address : 192.168.200.1
• PC Subnet Mask : 255.255.0.0
• Projector IP Address : 192.168.100.2
• Projector Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0
Remark : Communication possible. PC address is in the subnet range of the projector’s IP address. The third group in the IP¨
addresses can be any value as the third group in the subnet mask is 0.
Software connection
1. Connect the local PC with one of the Ethernet ports (100/10 BASE-T) of the Input & Communication unit.
2. Click in the IP address input field and fill out directly the IP address of the projector (1a).
Note: The IP address must be the TI/Cinema IP address. To read out that address, look for the Cinema IP address via the
touch panel or look for the TI IP address via the Communicator software.
