For the signal with the resolution exceeding 1 920 x 1 200 dots, the maximum transmission distanceis 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 communicationmethod. 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 LANcommunication.f When laying cables between the twisted-pair-cable transmitter and the projector, confirm that cable characteristics are compatible withCAT5e 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 projectorwithout 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 confirm that the value of [SIGNAL QUALITY] isdisplayed in green which indicates normal quality.f For twisted-pair-cable transmitters of other manufacturers of which the operation has been verified with the projector, visit the Panasonicwebsite (https://panasonic.net/cns/projector/). Note that the verification for devices of other manufacturers has been made for the items setby Panasonic Corporation, and not all the operations have been verified. For operation or performance problems caused by the devices ofother manufacturers, contact the respective manufacturers.Setting the projector1) Connect the projector to a computer using a LAN cable.2) Turn on the power of the projector.3) Press the button to open the [NETWORK] menu, select [NETWORK SETUP], and press the button.4) Perform the [NETWORK SETUP] setting.f Refer to [NETWORK SETUP] (x page 155) for details.Notef To connect to an existing network, perform after consulting your network administrator.
