This chapter shows you how to use the optional PCSA-DSM1 
Data Solution Module to incorporate the screen display data 
of a computer or similar into a videoconference.
The optional PCSA-DSM1 Data Solution Module is designed 
for internal installation in the PCS-TL33. It allows sending 
the pictures or text data displayed on a computer connected to 
the PCS-TL33 to the remote party in a videoconference. You 
can also connect a projector to the Data Solution Module and 
display a high-resolution computer screen image sent by the 
remote party at the local site.

Even if no Data Solution Module is installed or if another 
videoconferencing system such as PCS-1/1P, PCS-11/11P, 
PCS-TL30, PCS-TL50, PCS-G50/G50P, PCS-G70/G70P, 
or PCS-1600 is used, the receiving party can view the 
computer images sent from the other party. However, the 
quality of the picture received will vary depending on the 
components of the system. If the Data Solution Module or 
Data Solution Box is installed, a higher frame rate (number 
of frames per second) is possible, which allows viewing 
high-resolution moving images from a computer. To 
display the computer images sent from the other party 
during PC mode, press the 

(Videoconference) button 

on the system and switch to videoconference mode.

If the position of the received computer image is off center, 
switch to PC mode and switch back to videoconference 
mode to correct the positioning.

Restrictions on the IP address of the system 
when using the Data Solution Module
The IP address available for the PCS-TL33 Video 
Communication System is restricted when you use the 
PCSA-DSM1 Data Solution Module. Moreover, a network 

for communication between the Data Solution Module and 
the PCS-TL33 should be set up to be a separate segment.
As a result, unusable IP address is the value obtained from 
the AND operation with the address of the Data Solution 
Module for communication and the network
mask.
(Unusable IP address for the PCS-TL33) = (IP address of 
the PCSA-DSM1) & (Network mask)
The IP address of the PCSA-DSM1 is fixed at 
“192.254.1.2”. If the Network mask is assumed to be 
“255.255.0.0”, an unusable IP address is as follows:

192.254.m.n (0 

≤ m ≤ 255, 0 ≤ n ≤ 255)

Note on the camera picture when using the Data 
Solution Module
When transmitting a signal via the Data Solution Module, 
the camera picture quality will be lower owing to the 
decreased number of frames.
