|
|
|
Adding a Projector
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
To add a new projector, click on the :guilabel:`Add New Projector` icon on the Projector
|
|
Manager tab bar. You will be given an input dialog box like the below image.
|
|
|
|
|projector_add_new|
|
|
|
|
The required information are "IP Address", "Port Number", and "Name" entries.
|
|
The port number is already set with the default PJLink port.
|
|
|
|
The "PIN" entry is only needed if the projector you are connecting to has the
|
|
PJLink PIN set. Be careful, since most projectors have a separate entry for
|
|
the PJLink PIN, any other network PIN or password, as well as a separate entry
|
|
for any HTML access name/password settings (if the projector has HTML webpage
|
|
access). The PIN setting here is ONLY used if the projector has a "PJLink access
|
|
code" or "PJLink PIN" setting.
|
|
|
|
For information on what the fields are, you can click on :guilabel:`Help` button for some information
|
|
about what is expected for each field.
|
|
|
|
Once you are done entering the new information, click on :guilabel:`Save` to save the entry
|
|
and add it to the projector manager list. If you decide to not add a new entry, click the
|
|
:guilabel:`Cancel` button to close the dialog without saving.
|
|
|
|
Congratulations, you now have your first projector entry in the list and ready for control.
