What is a Network?
A network is a group of computers, printers, projectors or other devices that
are connected with cables or wirelessly (without cables). Information travels over the cables
or through the airwaves, allowing network users to exchange documents and data with each other,
print to the same printers, and generally share any hardware or software that is connected
to the network. Each computer, printer, or other peripheral device that is connected to the network
is called a "NODE". Networks can have tens or thousands of nodes, In reference to the S.A.P.S.
software 250 nodes or XG-V10WU/M or XG-V10XU/M projectors can be connected.
The XG-V10W / XU / M projectors are network accessible through the AN-L10T optional 10Base - T
Network adapter. This optional card enables the enduser to control and monitor projector operations
through an existing LAN Network.
In order to configure the XG-V10W / XU / M projectors to an existing LAN the following must occur:
1.) Install AN-L10T Optional LAN Board
2.) Configure XG-V10W / XU / M Projector Menu Setup
2.) Configure S.A.P.S. Software
The following explains the installation of the AN-L10T Optional LAN Board into the
XG-V10W/XU/M Projectors.
The AN-L10T 10 base-T network adapter board can be installed in the expansion slot on the side
of the XG-V10U projector to allow you to use an existing 10 base-T LAN cabling to connect V10’s
that will be controlled via the SAPS software.

When installing the expansion cards you must do the following:
1.) Shut projector Off.
2.) Remove the three screws from expansion plate cover. (Refer to
Figure A
)
3.) Remove (4) four screws that secure the RF shield (Refer to
Figure B
)
NOTE: Number 2 - Only needs to be done if expansion slot is used for first time.
4.) Remove the cover plate from the optional expansion board that will be installed into the slot.
5.) Insert the expansion board into the connector (Refer to F
igure C
)
6.) Secure the expansion cover to the board.

The following "Projector Menu" functions need to be set in order to configure the projector
to be used with the AN-L10T LAN card.
1.) ID Number Setup
2.) Optional Board (LAN Board) Setup
1.) To Setup the ID Number, proceed to the Projector menu "Options 2" and toggle down to the
Set ID Number using the down arrow button on the projector.
The example we are using is ID # 11 as indicated above
2.) When the LAN board is installed, select Menu Button “OPTIONS 2” from the
menu screen. “LAN BOARD” will appear for the option board setting.

There will be three items to configure thru the "LAN Board" menu option through the "Options 2" Menu.
1.) IP Address Set
2.) Gateway Set
3.) Subnet Mask
1.) The first option to be configured is "IP Address Set" When that option is selected, the following
menu will appear.
NOTE: The fields following "IP Address Set" will be blank if the LAN Card is used for first time.
(For Example Only)
NOTE:
The IP Address used is an example ONLY
. This information is obtained through the IT / MIS
Department.
L:\tekcentr\CACTrain\SPS_ntwk 610/16/2001

The
IP Address
is a unique string of numbers that identifies a computer on the network. These numbers
are usually shown in groups separated by periods,like this: 123.123.23.2. All resources on the Internet
must have an IP address --or else they're not on the Internet at all.
2.) The second option to be configured is "Gateway Set" when that option is selected, the following
menu will appear.
NOTE: The fields following "Gateway Set" will be blank if the LAN Card is used for first time.
(For Example Only)
A
Gateway
is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network. On the network, a node
or stopping point can be either a gateway node or a host (end-point) node. Both the computers
of Internet users and the computers that serve pages to users are host nodes. The computers
that control traffic within your company's network or at your local Internet service provider (ISP)
are gateway nodes.
NOTE:
The "Gateway Set" address used is an example ONLY
. This information is obtained
through the IT / MIS Department.
L:\tekcentr\CACTrain\SPS_ntwk 710/16/2001

3.) The third option to be configured is "Subnet Mask" When that option is selected, the following
menu will appear.
NOTE: The fields following "SubNet Mask" will be blank if the LAN Card is used for first time.
(For Example Only)
NOTE:
The "Subnet Mask" address used is an example ONLY
. This information is obtained
through the IT / MIS Department.
A
"Subnet Mask"
is a portion of a network that shares a common address component. On most
networks, subnets are defined as all devices whose IP addresses have the same prefix. For
example, all devices with IP addresses that start with 100.100.100. would be part of the same subnet
Dividing a network into subnets is useful for both security and performance reasons.
IP networks are divided using a subnet mask.
NOTE: IP Address, Gatway Set, Subnet Mask addresses must be obtained from
IT / MIS Department.
NOTE: When the LAN board is installed the RS232C input control is disabled.
NOTE: On the XG-V10W/XU/M modified projectors the "Aux" connection becomes an
input for RS232.

S.A.P.S Software V1.41 Network Configuration
The steps below show how to configure the S.A.P.S. software for an existing Network.
Launch the SAPS software, depending on how the software was originally configured, the menu
when launched will be for either "Single" projector mode or "Multiple" projector mode.
The projector mode will be indicated at the top left portion of the SAPS software.
(Refer to Figure 1
)
(Figure 1)
If the projector is in "Single" projector mode, you must change to "Multiple" projector mode.
Through this menu also select "Use ID Number" This can be accomplished through the "File"
menu option "Operation Mode Setting".
(Refer to Figure 2)
(Figure 2)
Identify the "Multiple Projector Operation Mode" setting and the "Use ID Numbers" option. Once
the "Projector Operation Mode " setting has been changed the SAPS program screen will change.
(Refer to Figure 3)
NOTE: Make sure projectors have different I.D. numbers (refer to ID # Setup on page 4 )
L:\tekcentr\CACTrain\SPS_ntwk 910/16/2001

Note: The projector must be in multiple projector mode in order to access the "Control Options"
menu to continue with the network configuration involving the SAPS software. In Single Projector
mode the Network control options menu items are inactive. (Refer to Figure 4)
"Single Projector Control" is for RS232 connection.
