Network Communication Configuration
For network control, you can access the projector through Port 23 (Telnet).
We use the same control codes on serial as we do over the network. InFocus network control
uses the Telnet packet structure.
Command Format
All commands consist of 3 alpha characters followed by a request, all enclosed in
parentheses. The request can be a read request (indicated by a "?") or a write request
(indicated by 1 to 4 ASCII digits).

A read request example:
(AAA?) where
(AAA?) where
(starts the command
AAA denotes the command
? denotes the read request

(AAA####) where
(starts the command

) ends the command
Some commands have ranges, while others are absolute. If a number greater than the
maximum range is received, it is automatically set to the maximum number for that function.
If a command is received that is not understood, a "?" is returned. With absolute settings, "0"
is off, 1-9999 is on. The one exception is the Power command, where 0 is off and 1 is on.
To assure the projector can process a command, wait 3 seconds before entering the next
command.
