Introduction
The DPG-2000W Presentation Gateway is a wireless adapter for your projector or monitor that enables communication with any wireless laptop or computer. The DPG-2000W supports IEEE 802.11g wireless standards with transfer speeds of up to 54Mbps for real time display of images, applications, and presentations on a monitor or via projector. In addition, the DPG-2000W connects via a standard VGA cable, making it compatible with virtually any presentation projector or monitor. The DPG-2000W is convenient for conferences, seminars, and business meetings and is a great application in any office environment. Presenters can communicate with their audience more effectively by delivering a more dynamic and interactive presentation with the DPG-2000W.
The DPG-2000W includes a web-based administration utility that features banner page customization options, configuration settings, and firmware upgrades. The user customizable banner page allows users to display information such as meeting agendas and conference logos before and between presentations. To ensure wireless security, the administrator is given the option of configuring the wireless settings through the admin web utility.
The DPG-2000W also includes a presentation session manager (PSM), which gives multiple presenters one click access to the DPG-2000W. Automatic IP configuration means added convenience and easy access to the DPG-2000W; there is no need to change IP settings on the presenter’s computer.

Using the DPG-2000W
Using the DPG-2000W in a Meeting
Using the Presentation Session Manager (PSM) software provided, presenters can easily display their presentations with a single click from any wirelesslyenabled PC or laptop. The following steps demonstrate a typical scenario in an office setting:
1.Copies of the DPG-2000W installation CD are kept with the DPG-2000W in the meeting room. Prior to a meeting, participants can either run or install the PSM onto their system. The installation is automatic and does not require participants to reboot the computer.
2.Meeting participants can then establish a wireless connection to the DPG-2000W. This wireless connection is maintained throughout the meeting even if only one presenter can use the projector or monitor at a given time by connecting through the PSM. Confirming wireless connections before the meeting starts assures a smooth presentation session.
3.At any give time, by clicking just one button in the PSM, the first presenter can start the presentation.
4.When finished, with a single click, the incumbent presenter yields the floor (the projector/monitor) to another presenter while still maintaining a wireless link to the DPG-2000W.
5.A waiting presenter, with an already established wireless link, can instantaneously take over the projector/monitor by connecting through the PSM.

Using the DPG-2000W (Continued)
Starting the DPG-2000W
When the DPG-2000W is first turned on and connected to a projector or monitor, a boot up sequence will follow. After about 30 seconds, the DPG-2000W will display the following graphic.
The wireless settings will be displayed on top of the graphic and consist of two lines. The top line displays the SSID and the channel number of the DPG2000W while the second line reports the channels currently in use by other 802.11g equipment around the DPG-2000W.
12
Using the DPG-2000W (Continued)
Depending on the type of RF activity detected, you will see any one of the following messages displayed:
RF activities detected on other channels (none).
No other 802.11g channels detected in use other than the DPG-2000W. Your connection to the DPG-2000W should be smooth and error free.
RF activities detected on other channels (8, 9).
Existing 802.11b channels detected in use, but there is no interference. Your connection to the DPG-2000W should be smooth and error free.
RF activities detected on other channels (1, 5, 8, 11). WARNING: Interference.
Existing channels detected and interference found. The DPG-2000W is in a RF noisy environment, you may have trouble connecting and maintaining connections to the DPG-2000W even if a connection can be made.
Note: The DPG-2000W updates this information whenever the banner page appears on boot-up. In a noisy environment, channel information might get outdated quickly since the DPG-2000W does not monitor channels continuously.
Once you have turned the DPG-2000W on and noted the above information, you can now configure your computer to connect to the DPG-2000W.
Establishing a Link with the DPG-2000W
Before starting the Presentation Session Manager, the network interface of the computer must have a valid IP address. For computers running DHCP client mode while DHCP server is unavailable, it may take a few moments for the computers to obtain a system IP address. If a valid IP address for the network interface cannot be obtained, please refer to a network administrator for how to assign an IP address.
Note: The computer’s network interface must have a valid IP address before PSM starts.

Using the DPG-2000W (Continued)
Using Your Wireless Configuration Utility
The banner page on the projector/monitor screen will display the SSID and the channel that the DPG-2000W is currently set on. The channel number ranges from 1 – 11 for the US or 1 – 13 for Europe and Japan.
The DPG-2000W operates as an Access Point (AP), with an SSID automatically assigned at each boot up. When the DPG-2000W starts up, its SSID will be displayed on the upper left corner of the monitor/projector.
Wireless configuration will vary depending on the manufacturer of the wireless card that you are using. Open the Wireless Configuration Utility program (which may be called a different name) provided by the manufacturer of your wireless card and modify the settings as follows:
Change the network type to “Infrastructure” mode.
Change the “SSID” of the wireless network adapter corresponding to the DPG-2000W’s SSID displayed on the banner page.
Your wireless configuration utility will indicate if a proper wireless connection is established between the wireless card and the DPG2000W.
Select the SSID matching the DPG-2000W’s SSID displayed on the banner screen.
