Chapter 5 Operation of Function — Network connectionsENGLISH - 107f When a LAN cable is used to transmit and receive Ethernet signal, please connect it to the terminal or the terminal of the projector.f Use a LAN cable that is straight cable or cross cable and compatible with CAT5 or higher. When you need to know whether to use one orboth straight/cross cable depending on the configuration of the system, please confirm with your network administrator. For this projector, itwill identify the type of cable (straight/cross) automatically.f Use a LAN cable with length of 100 m (328'1") or shorter.Example of network connections via a twisted-pair-cable transmitterComputerProjectorLAN cable (straight)LAN cable (straight)LAN cable (straight)Hub Twisted-pair-cable transmitter(with LAN terminal)Attentionf When a LAN cable is directly connected to the projector, the network connection must be made indoors.Notef 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 higherg Shielded type (including connectors)g Straight-throughg Single wiref The maximum transmission distance between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector is 100 m (328'1"). It is possible to transmitup to 150 m (492'2") if the twisted-pair-cable transmitter supports the long-reach communication method. However, the signal that theprojector can receive is only up to 1080/60p (1 920 x 1 080 dots, dot clock frequency:148.5 MHz) when connected with the long-reachcommunication method. If this distance is 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 CAT5eor 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 hub between a 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 projectorwithout 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 cables, confirm that the value of [SIGNAL QUALITY] in the [NETWORK] menu → [DIGITAL LINK STATUS] is displayed ingreen (indicates normal quality). (x page 101)f For twisted-pair-cable transmitter of other manufacturers of which the operation has been verified with the DIGITAL LINK compatibleprojector, refer to Panasonic website (http://panasonic.net/avc/projector/). Note that the verification for devices of other manufacturershas been made for the items set by Panasonic Corporation, and not all the operations have been verified. For operation or performanceproblems caused by the devices of other manufacturers, contact the respective manufacturers.Projector settings1) Use the LAN cable (Straight) to connect the projector with computer.2) Turn on the projector.3) Press the the button.4) Set the detailed setup of [WIRED LAN].f For details, refer to “WIRED LAN” (x page 102).
