the proposed platform, all the NB/PC screen resolution can be supported then
wirelessly projected by the proposed platform.

a If current resolution setting at the NB/PC side is smaller than the current

projector resolution, our program will adjust current NB/PC resolution as
the optimum projection resolution in order to reserve the best image
quality in this kind of environment.

b If current resolution settings at the NB/PC side and projector side are the

same, this same optimum projection resolution will be implemented.

c If current resolution setting at the NB/PC side is larger than the current

projector resolution, our program will change PC's resolution to match the
projector for better performance.

Compatible with Windows XP/ Vista/ 7 OS

The DoUSB projection function can be performed under Windows XP with
Service Pack 2 and above / Windows Vista 32 bits and 64 bits environments, and

Frequently asked questions

English

• How do I configure the device network?

Auto-Configuration Network Setup: The default setting of APG is DHCP client. When
the APG is connected to a LAN that already has a DHCP server present, the APG takes
an IP address assigned to it by the server. When the APG is connected to a LAN that
does not have a DHCP server, the APG becomes the DHCP server in the network.

• Why doesn't my device obtain an IP address automatically?

The device will ask for an IP address from your enterprise DHCP server while booting
up, however, sometimes it might fail to obtain an IP address in complex network
environments. The system will obtain the IP address again once there is another DHCP
server detected or you can configure your device IP address via Network Setup at Web
Admin.

• How do I reset the APG to the factory setting?

Press the reset button and press the power button for 20 seconds to reset to factory
settings.
