Introduction

Functions

The EP8790NET wireless network module is equipped with the latest network functions. You can use the EP8790NET module in combination with 3M MP8790 Multimedia Projector to make presentations

that draw on the power of your network. In addition, the wireless LAN card (*1) allows you to connect the EP8790NET module to your network without the need to connect any annoying LAN cables.

(*1): Please use the wireless LAN card that came with your EP8790NET.

1. Live Mode

The EP8790NET module gives you the power to present PowerPoint® and other presentations with ease and in a cable-free environment.

Get your computer ready to go! Using the EP8790NET module with PCs that are equipped with the latest wireless LAN functions allow you to project images from your PC in real time (*2) using wireless transmission to project a large screen with the same feel as a live broadcast. No more annoying cables! Not only that, but you can project presentations from multiple computers at the same! In addition, you can now project a presentation from one computer to multiple projectors.

(*2):

This will depend on the type of images you are attempting to display. Images are refreshed at a rate of every one to four seconds. Therefore, you might not be able to project extremely dynamic images such as animation very smoothly, and, in some cases, you may not be able to project them at all.

Example of a Multiple Screen

Office meetings at a snap of the fingers!

Meetings in a wireless environment! In your showroom or at a convention hall.

Up to four PC screens can be displayed at the same time.

Consult with your network administrator prior to attempting to connect to your company's LAN.

NOTE

2. Playback Mode

Images transmitted to the projector in Live Mode can be replayed from the projector side (*3). You can also send images to the projector from the PC in advance (*4). Regardless of the method chosen, you can select the image you wish to display or even select multiple images for consecutive playback by viewing the corresponding thumbnail images stored on the projector side (*5).

(*3): Use the key on your PC keyboard to capture images for replay in Playback mode. (*4): Refer to for detailed information on how to use FileViewer. (*5): Refer to for detailed information on how to use ImageViewer.

3. PC-less Presentation Mode (*6)

In order to use PC-less Presentation Mode, you need to store your presentation data (*7) into a memory card (*8). Next, insert the memory card into the projector and you are all ready to make a presentation with just the projector. No need for a PC! The presentation is played just as described in Playback Mode.

(*6):

Since there is only one card slot, you can't use the wireless LAN card when in this mode. (*7): You can only use still image files of the following extensions: .jpg, .bmp and .png. (*8): You can use any of the following types of memory cards:

PCMCIA compliant memory card CF memory card (dedicated PCMCIA adaptor required) SD card (dedicated PCMCIA adaptor required) Memory Stick (dedicated PCMCIA adaptor required) HDD card (ATA compatible; less than 2GB) (IDE compatible HDD cards can't be used) Microdrive (dedicated PCMCIA adaptor required; ATA compatible; less than 2GB)

(IDE compatible HDD cards can't be used)

Only memory cards under 2GB can be used. Memory cards formatted to 2GB or more can't be used.

Reformat memory cards to under 2GB as necessary. (Refer to your memory card user guide for details.)

NOTE

4. Remote Control Mode

The EP8790NET incorporates the latest LAN functions, enabling you to not only make presentations, but also control the projector using a control panel that you interface to using your Web browser. Remote control functions available include, turning the projector's power on and off, and selecting between image sources. This feature also provides you with such information as when the projector's lamp needs to be replaced. Even if the projector is located in an office room away from your current location, you can easily operate it via remote control.

If you opt not to use the wireless LAN card, you can still directly connect your computer using a LAN cable. Be sure to use a cross cable when directly connecting to just one PC. Use a straight cable for connecting to the closest hub of your company LAN.

• If you won't be using an access point (Peer to Peer): Set to AD-HOC (pseudo ad hoc) or 802.11AD-HOC (depending on the hardware).

• If you will be using an access point: Select INFRASTRUCTURE.

❍ Communication Speed: This is normally set to Auto (Full Automatic, et al)

❍ Communication Channel: Depending on the country or region you are in, the

channels you can use may vary. Be sure to use the same channel setting for each device.

❍ SSID (network group name): Set the same name for all devices.

❍ Encryption (WEP) Setting

• Disable if you won't be using encryption

• Enable if you will be using encryption by selecting the type of encryption [40(60)bit or

128bit] and configure the encryption key as well (text or hexadecimal)

Refer to your PC user guide and wireless LAN card user guide (if you are using a wireless LAN card) for additional information on how to configure these settings.
