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 DPG-
2000W while the second line reports the channels currently in use by other
802.1 1g 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 – 1 1 for the US or 1 – 13 for Europe and Jap an.
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.
