The above image contains, all I need to turn on and off my Panasonic projector.

The top Send PJLink actor will power on the projector (this will only work when the bottom Send PJLink actor returns Zero, as seen)The middle PJLink actor will turn off the projectorAnd the bottom PJLink actor is there to check the power status. It returns 2 while the projector is in cool down mode, and can not be turned back on.

My laptop and my projector are both plugged into my router.

My Laptop is connected using DHCP (so it get a dynamic IP address).
The projector has had DHCP turned off and I have defined a static IP address of 192.168.000.208
In the projectors network setup I also needed to add my gateway and mask, 192.168.0.1 and 255.255.255.0 respectively.
I also am not using a password on the projector at this time.

Once you setup the IP on the projector, I suggest using Terminal and ping the projector to ensure it is seen on the network.
To ping, open Terminal, and type "ping -c 5 " followed by your IP address...
eg: ping -c 5 192.168.000.208

I hope this helps you move forward. Let me know if you hit any roadblocks.

@Woland @jhoepffner @Juriaan Thank you all very much for your input - it's much appreciated. I'm back in the theatre tomorrow and will go through the process again! Best wishes Paz

Many thanks. 

I must say, I do find it fascinating where you delve into user actors created by people who know what they are doing. Brilliantly simple yet I would not have come with that.

This is fantastic. I did not believe there would be that level of detail but mainly thought there was actor named oddly (to me) that would achieve this.

Thanks again.

Very much appreciated.

Dear All,

In case you didn't notice, Send PJLink v0.9.6 is on the plugins page. It fixes the problem for Windows users found above.

Best Wishes,
Mark

I was just testing and playing around on the patch you sent me. I copied and pasted the actor in the patch.

@jhoepffner 

They had DHCP on so had the same subnet and ip class on the same network. 
I will be testing it again later today to see if it was something stupid on my side.

Thanks

Andy
