Can use all bands, and can avoid "licensed" and "unlicensed" bands.

Electromagnetic Safety Precautions

Be aware of the following points when using the supplied wireless LAN unit.

• May exert electromagnetic interference on, and cause malfunction of, cardiac pacemakers. Before use, ensure that electromagnetic interference does not occur.

• May exert electromagnetic interference on, and cause malfunction of, sensitive medical equipment. Before use, ensure that electromagnetic interference does not occur.

• Do not use near microwave ovens. Wireless communication may be interrupted by electromagnetic interference generated by microwave ovens.

• Use of this product on aircraft may be restricted in some countries. Use of this product is based on due diligence with regard to regulations.

Frequency Use Precautions

The frequency band for the wireless LAN unit that is included with the projector is 2.4 GHz/5 GHz. This band is used for industrial, scientific, and medical devices such as microwave ovens, and it is also used by premises radio stations for mobile unit identification (RF-ID) systems in the factory line (license required) and specified low-power radio stations (no license required). Before using the wireless LAN, check that there are no radio stations for mobile unit identification or specified low-power radio station premises nearby. In the event that this wireless LAN should interfere electromagnetically with the premises of a radio station used for mobile unit recognition, cease use immediately and stop generating the electromagnetic field. Contact Epson as described in your User’s Guide if this wireless LAN interferes electromagnetically with a special low-power radio station used for mobile unit identification or causes similar problems.

Notes When Using a Wireless LAN

International Travel Precautions

Wireless LAN units are based on the specifications of the country of purchase. The wireless LAN unit is designed to conform to the channel and frequency limits of the country it is intended to be used in. If the wireless LAN unit is used outside the country of purchase, check with a local dealer for more information.

Wireless Telegraphy Act Regulations

The following acts are prohibited by the Wireless Telegraphy Act.

• Modifying and disassembling (including the antenna)

• Removing the label of conformance

• IEEE 802.11a (5 GHz band) external use

Notes on Security when Using Wireless LANs

(Important information on customer rights (maintaining privacy))

The advantage of using a wireless LAN over a LAN cable is that, because information is exchanged using radio signals, you can easily connect to the network if you are within range of the radio signals. A disadvantage of this is that within a certain range, the electromagnetic signals can pass through barriers such as walls, so that if security countermeasures are not implemented in some way, problems such as the following may occur.

• Communicated data can be intercepted A third party may be able to receive wireless transmissions without authorisation, and they could obtain personal information from these transmissions such as IDs, passwords, or credit card numbers, or they could intercept the contents of personal e-mail messages.

• Unauthorised access to the network A third party could access an individual or intra-company network without permission and carry out any of the following activities.

• Retrieve personal data or other secret information (information leakage)

• Pose as another user and send inappropriate data (impersonation)

• Overwrite the contents of intercepted data and resend it (falsification)

• Introduce a computer virus which could cause data loss or system crashes (damage)

Initially, the possibility that such problems could occur through settings concerning the security of the wireless LAN product and by using the product are decreased, because the wireless LAN card and the access point have security measures to deal with these problems. We recommend that you use this product after making security settings using your own judgment and assuming full responsibility, and with your full understanding of problems that may occur if you do not make any security settings.

Connecting with Quick Wireless Connection

You can use the supplied Quick Wireless Connection USB key (hereafter "USB key") to project images from a connected Windows computer. This function is called Quick Wireless Connection. You can quickly project images by connecting the USB key to the computer. Software requirements are listed in the appendix. s p.97

Overview of EMP NS Connection

There are two methods of connecting the projector and a computer via a network by using EMP NS Connection.

Two Connection Modes and their Main Functions

f "Quick Connection Mode" (only when the "Wireless LAN

unit" is installed)

"Quick Connection Mode" only runs when you install the supplied "Wireless LAN unit" in the projector. "Quick connection mode" temporarily assigns the projector's SSID to a computer creating an ad hoc connection, and after disconnecting restores the computer's network settings. s p.16

f "Advanced Connection Mode"

"Advanced Connection Mode" is an infrastructure connection, and connects to an existing network system via a network cable. If you install the supplied "Wireless LAN unit" in the projector, you can connect to the network via a wireless LAN access point. If you install the optional "Ethernet unit" you can connect to a network without an access point. When connecting to a network via the Ethernet unit, connect the projector to the network hub with a commercially available LAN cable.

Projecting Movies from a Computer (Movie Sending Mode)

In Movie Sending Mode, movie files can be sent directly to a projector. As a result, a movie can be projected much more smoother than when it is being sent from an application running on a PC. Also, because the audio is sent at the same time as the movie, there is no need for an audio cable between the computer and the projector.

• Movie Sending Mode is valid for one projector only. It is

not possible to apply Movie Sending Mode to more than one projector.

• Depending on the communication method and the available reception, the image and sound may skip or stall.

Supported File Types

The file types supported by Movie Sending Mode are listed in the following table.

Using Multi-Screen Display

Multi-screen display mode allows you to project different images from multiple projectors that are connected to a single computer. With Windows, multiple virtual displays can be set in the computer, and each image can be projected by the projector. This function is not available with Windows Vista due to restrictions in the Windows Vista specifications. For the Macintosh, an external monitor must be connected to the computer to enable the use of the multi-screen display function. Whereas the above explanation has referred to "virtual display", in the case of the Macintosh, the operation relates to the screens displayed on the physically connected monitor.

Example of Adjusting the Virtual Display

By arranging the virtual display allocation, you can project only the image that you want to show when making a presentation or project different images from left to right.

Connecting to a Projector on a Different Sub-net

This chapter explains how to connect a computer to a projector on a different sub-net via a wired LAN or a wireless LAN access point on an existing network system.

Connecting to a Projector on a

Different Sub-net.................................................39

Searching by Specifying the IP Address and Projector Name

(For "Advanced Connection Mode" only) ........40

Performing a search with a profile....................41

• Making a Profile................................................................41

• Searching by Specifying a Profile ....................................43

• Managing a Profile............................................................44

Connecting to a Projector on a Different Sub-net

By default, this application only searches for projectors on the same sub-net as the computer. Therefore, even if you perform a search for projectors on the network, one on a different sub-net will not be found. You can, however, identify and connect to a projector on a different sub-net, as follows.

• Specify either an IP address or projector name and perform a search. The IP address can be input directly. Also, provided the name of the connected server has been registered on the DNS server, you perform a search simply by inputting that name. s p.40

• Performing a search based on a profile. Once you have performed a search for a projector on a different subnet by specifying either an IP address or a projector name, you can save the search as a profile with an easy-to-remember name, and then use that profile whenever you subsequently want to search for a projector on a different sub-net. s p.41

If a search fails to find a projector, the most likely causes

are as follows. Proceed as appropriate, depending on the cause of the failure. For both Windows and the Macintosh

• The wireless LAN signal is either out of range or weak. Check whether there is anything that could be interfering with the signal.

When the supplied wireless LAN unit is installed in the projector, and the Macintosh is connected to a wireless LAN

• "AirPort: On" is not set, or an appropriate access point is not selected. Check whether AirPort is set to "On". Or, check whether an appropriate access has been selected.

Searching by Specifying the IP Address and Projector Name (For "Advanced Connection Mode" only)

In the following explanations, unless otherwise noted, Windows screen shots are used. You see a similar screen even when using Macintosh.

Procedure

A Click "Manual serch" on the EMP NS Connection

projector selection screen.

B Enter the IP address or the projector name for the

projector you want to connect to, and click "OK".

The search results are displayed on the EMP NS Connection projector selection screen. Provided the target projector has been identified, select that projector, and then click "Connect" to establish a connection. When you will always be using that projector, save the search as a profile, such that you do not have to specify the relevant details every time you perform a search. s p.41

When you use "Manual search" in "Quick Connection

Mode", you can specify the SSID. When there are a lot of projectors you can narrow the search field by using SSID.

Performing a search with a profile

You can save a search for a frequently used projector as a profile. A "profile" is a file containing all of the information pertaining to a given projector, such as the projector name, its IP address, and SSID. By specifying that profile whenever you subsequently perform a search, the search will be performed using the saved IP address and projector name. For example, by creating a group of profiles for each place where a projector is setup and managing them with folders, the target projector can be found quickly.

Changing Settings Using a Web Browser (Web Control)

You can set up and control the projector from a computer by using the Web browser of a computer that is connected to the projector via a network. Setup and control operations can be performed remotely if this function is used. In addition, since you can use the computers keyboard, entering characters required for the setup is easier. Use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later as the Web browser. If using a Macintosh, you can also use Safari. If, however, you are using Safari under Macintosh 10.2.8, some of the Web control radio buttons may not display properly.

Setup and control with a Web browser are possible if set to

"Network On" from the "Extended" menu of the projector's configuration menu, even if the projector is in standby mode (when the power is off).

Displaying Web Control

Display Web control with the following procedure.

If your Web browser is set up to connect via a proxy server,

f Entering the IP address of the projector

Web control can be opened by specifying the IP address of the projector as follows when using "Advanced Connection Mode".

f Items in the configuration menu that cannot be set by the

web browser

All items in the configuration menu can be set with the exception of the following items.

• "Settings" - "Pointer Shape"

• "Settings" - "User Button"

• Registering a user's logo using "Extended" - "User's Logo"

• "Extended" - "Operation" - "High Altitude Mode"

• "Extended" - "Link21", "Language"

• "Reset" - "Reset All", "Reset Lamp Hours"

Additionally, the MAC Address is not displayed in Web Control.

Using the Mail Notification Function to Report Problems

By setting the Mail Notification function from the projector's configuration menu, notification messages will be sent to the preset email addresses when a problem or warning occurs with a projector. This will enable the operator to be notified of problems with projectors even at locations away from the projectors. See the projector User’s Guide for more information.

• Up to a maximum of three notification destinations

(addresses) can be recorded, and notification messages can be sent to all three destinations at once.

• If a projector develops a critical problem and suddenly stops working, it may not be able to send a message notifying an operator of the problem.

• You can monitor projectors if set to "Network On" from the "Extended" menu of the projector's configuration menu, even if the projector is in standby mode (when the power is off).

Management Using SNMP

By setting SNMP from the projector's configuration menu, notification messages are sent to preset e-mail addresses when a problem or warning occurs with a projector. This is useful when controlling projectors centrally at a point distant from them. See the projector User’s Guide for more information.

• SNMP should be managed by a network administrator or

someone who is familiar with the network.

• The SNMP function to monitor the projector requires SNMP Manager to be installed on the computer.

• The managing function using SNMP cannot be used via a wireless LAN in the "Quick Connection Mode".

• Up to two destination IP addresses can be saved.

Connection Limitations

When Using Windows Vista

Note the following points when using EMP NS Connection with a computer running Windows Vista.

f Limitations when projecting from Windows Photo Gallery

Note the following two limitations when using Windows Photo Gallery when running EMP NS Connection.

• Slide shows are played back in simple mode when projecting from Windows Photo Gallery.

Because the toolbar is not displayed, you cannot make changes while playing a "Theme" (effects), regardless of the "Windows Experience Index" rating. Once simple mode has started, you cannot change modes while Windows Photo Gallery is running even if you close EMP NS Connection. Restart Windows Photo Gallery.

• You cannot play movies.

f Limitations in Windows Aero

Note the following two limitations when the window design for your computer is Windows Aero.

• Layered windows are projected regardless of the "Transfer layered window" setting in "Set Options".

For example, when "Transfer layered window" for the EMP NS Connection toolbar is disabled, it should not be displayed on the computer's screen, however the toolbar is projected.

• A few minutes after you connect a computer to the projector over a network with EMP NS Connection, the following message is displayed.

It is recommended that you select "Keep the current color scheme, and don’t show this message again". This selection is enabled until the computer is restarted.

-102,-105 Wireless communication is unstable. Network traffic may be high. Wait a while, then try reconnecting.

fWhen a connection is made using EMP NS Connection, the projected image remains as is, and a connection cannot be made from another

computer.

Check Remedy

Did the presenter leave the conference room without cutting off the network connection?

With EMP NS Connection, the connection with the computer that was previously connected can be cut off when another computer tries to connect with the projector, and it connects with the computer that is trying to connect. Therefore, when a projector keyword is not set for the projector, or if you know the projector keyword, you can cut off the current connection and, if you perform a connection operation, you can connect to the projector. When a projector keyword is set for the projector, if you do not know the projector keyword, cut off projection from the projector and reconnect. To cut off connection from the projector, press the [Esc] button on the remote control, select "Close" from the close menu and press the [Enter] button on the remote control. When it cuts off, you can connect from the target computer.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2.1, February 1999

CopyrightZ 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.

This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.

For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.

To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others.

Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.

Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.

When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of
