Controlling the Monitor with a PC (LAN) When the PN-ZB01 (optional) is attached, your monitor can be connected to a LAN allowing you to control it from a PC on the LAN. You can also configure the monitor to send e-mail notification when it has a problem. The connection requires a commercially available LAN cable (UTP cable, Category 5, straight through). Network (LAN) Settings to connect to a LAN Set the monitor’s IP address and subnet mask to match the settings of your LAN.
Controlling the Monitor with a PC (LAN) ■ To set from a PC When the monitor is connected to a PC, LAN settings can be configured via PC. Set up process (1) Connect your monitor to a PC (2) Specify the PC’s IP address (3) Configure the monitor’s LAN settings 7. Temporarily change the IP address and subnet mask. To access the monitor as it is shipped from the factory, set as follows. • IP Address: 192.168.150.3 • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.
Controlling the Monitor with a PC (LAN) 5. Click on “LAN SETUP” under NETWORK. Controlling with a PC ■ Basic operation You use Internet Explorer on a PC on the LAN to control the monitor. 1. Launch Internet Explorer on the PC. 2. In the “Address” box, type “http://” followed by your monitor’s IP address followed by “/”, then press the Enter key. 6. Specify the “DHCP CLIENT”, “IP ADDRESS”,etc.

Controlling the Monitor with a PC (LAN) ■ SNMP You can configure settings related to SNMP. Caution • After you set SNMP, click [Switch the main power of monitor off and on now.] or turn off the monitor and then turn it on again with the main power switch. When the monitor restarts, wait about 30 seconds and then start the next operation. • If the IP address is changed while the SNMP function is operational, turn off the monitor and then turn it on again with the main power switch.
Troubleshooting If you are experiencing any problem with your display, before calling for service, please review the following troubleshooting tips. There is no picture or sound. • Is the power cord disconnected? (See page 12.) • Is the main power switch off? (See page 15.) • Is the monitor in standby mode (the power LED illuminating in orange)? (See page 15.) • Make sure correct input mode is selected. (See page 18.
Troubleshooting When “AUTO DIMMING” is displayed. • When the internal temperature of the monitor rises excessively, the brightness of the backlight automatically decreases in order to prevent a further temperature rise. If you attempt to use to adjust the brightness while the monitor is in this state, “AUTO DIMMING” is displayed and you cannot change the brightness. • Remove the cause of the excessive temperature rise. The monitor makes a cracking sound.
