8.9 Status Menu
The read-only Status menu lists a variety of details about the standard and optional components currently detected
in the projector. Refer to the Status menu for versions of hardware and software installed, the type (size) of lamp,
the hours logged in total and for a specific period (such as a rental period), and for your projector model name and
serial number. In addition, the Status menu identifies the current channel, its location, its frequencies and other
details.
8.10 Remote Control of the Projector
As an alternative to using a keypad, most projector functions can be controlled remotely, typically at a controller
such as a PC, via a web interface.
• VIA ASCII MESSAGING — Connect a serial link between your controller and the RS-232 or RS-422 port
(recommended), or open an Ethernet socket (i.e., Telnet) between your controller and the valid projector
address. Valid ASCII codes and messages are documented in the Serial Communications document.
• VIA WEB INTERFACE — Connect the PC to the projector’s Ethernet port. In the web browser (i.e., Internet
Explorer), enter the IP address of the projector you wish to control. This will prompt a login screen. The default
login ids are: admin, service, and guest. Up to a maximum of 3 users can connect at any given time. Two users
can use the same account to log in. Each user will see a different set of tabs. The default passwords can be
edited by an administrator or a service user in the Admin tab. Guest users will not see this tab. Basic operations
of the projector can be controlled from this interface and the Virtual OSD can be accessed from here.
8.11 Alarm Conditions
An alarm condition consists of a message that is on the LCD display located beside the built-in keypad.
There are two types of alarm conditions:
•Warning Alarm
•Critical Alarm
A warning alarm is shown when an error or a non-optimal condition has occurred. That will generally not prevent the
projector from operating. An example is when a temperature is slightly elevated.
A critical alarm is shown when a condition occurs that could prevent the projector from operating and could cause
damage to the projector. This may cause the projector to shut down automatically. An example would be a fan not
running.
Both alarm types display:
• the item of alarm
• the status of the item
The item of the alarm can be either physical, i.e. fan or sensor, or the alarm can be a software issue, i.e. lamp driver.
The LCD displays the status of the item and its units; if applicable. If the status of the item is out of normal range an
alarm is created. When the status of the item is within normal range the alarm will clear.
NOTES:
1) When an alarm is displayed in the LCD display, the built-in keypad is disabled. To confirm the alarm, press the OK
soft key to enable the built-in keypad.
2) The alarm condition can also be viewed using the remote in the read only Status menu.
