Presentation Mode
When "Presentation Mode" is set to "ON", the only images that are sent to
the projector when running a PowerPoint slideshow are the images from
the slideshow itself. Images that are not part of the slideshow are not
projected by the projector, so that the presentation can be given without
showing the viewers things like file selection operations that are carried out
before the slideshow is run.
The "Image.jpg" file that has been preset for the projector will be projected
whenever there is no slideshow being run (lower-left image). This image
can be changed to your own preferred image. If no "Image.jpg" file exists,
a black screen will be projected (lower-right image).

• Presentation mode can be set to "ON" or "OFF" before the

Interrupt Disabled
When the interruption prevention function is set to "ON" at a computer that
has projectors connected to it, it will no longer be possible to connect to
those projectors using other computers. If more than one projector is
connected to the computer, the interruption prevention function will be
applied to all of the connected projectors.
Other computers will be able to connect to the projectors as soon as the
interruption prevention function setting is changed to "OFF".
The interruption prevention function is enabled in automatic ESSID search
mode. The interruption prevention function is disabled during IP connect
mode.

TIP
•
The interruption prevention function can be set to "ON" or "OFF"
before the projector is connected and while the projector is connected.
•
The interruption prevention function is automatically set to "OFF"
when EMP NS Connection is exited.
•
If the connection between the projector and the computer is
terminated, other computers will then be able to access that projector
even if the interruption prevention function is still set to "ON".
•
If using Windows, the interruption prevention function may be
enabled for the projector being searched for. If this is the case, the
computer being used for the search will have priority in connecting to
the projector when the IP address is specified.

If No Connected Projectors Appear
If no connected projectors appear in the projector selection window of EMP
NS Connection, check the following points.
• If using a wireless LAN, are the projectors set up where signals
cannot reach or where signals are weak?
• Has the connection mode been set correctly?
• Is the subnet correct?
If a projector is connected to a network that has a different subnet, you can
connect the projector using IP connect mode. IP connect mode lets you
connect projectors by specifying the projector's IP address
If using easy connect mode under Windows, check the following points.
• Has automatic ESSIDgsearching been disabled? (Windows 2000/XP

• Up to a maximum of 16 projectors can be registered. If you try to
add 17 or more projectors, the existing projectors will be deleted
starting from the first projector that was registered. The maximum
number of projectors that can be connected at the same time is four.
• When you exit EMP NS Connection and start it the next time, the

you would like the same projectors to appear in the list each time
you start EMP NS Connection, create a group and register the
required projectors as part of that group. sp.11

• If you select more than one projector, you can project images from
one computer to several projectors. Up to a maximum of four
projectors can be used to project images from a single computer.
• After you have clicked the "Connect" button, you cannot connect
any more projectors.
EasyMP Operation Guide
If No Connected Projectors Appear
Creating Connection Groups
You can register projectors that are frequently accessed via the network
into a single group. EMP NS Connection can register up to a maximum of
16 projectors in a single group.
For example, if you have a network where projectors in all branch offices
are connected and you would like to project images from projectors at
branch offices in a specific area, you can register the projectors at all
branch offices in that specific area into a single group. Once a group has
been registered, you can connect to the projectors in the specified area
simply by selecting that particular group, which eliminates the need to
search for projectors and connect them one by one.
Group information can be written (exported) to a file and loaded
(imported) from that file. In this way, a network administrator can create
and export different groups of projectors, and then the other users can
import the groups of projectors that need to be connected to, making it
easier to connect to the required projectors.
f Creating a Group
Use the following procedure to create a group.

Security Countermeasures for Wireless LAN
Because wireless LANs use radio signals to send and receive data, they have
the advantage of allowing a device to connect to the network easily as long as
they are within range to receive the signals.
A disadvantage of this is that the radio signals can pass through barriers such
as walls, so that if security countermeasures are not implemented in some way,
transmissions can be intercepted and outsiders can get unauthorised access to
the network even without using special tools.
The following security functions are provided in order to solve such problems.
• Data encryption
Data is encrypted before it is transmitted. Even if data is intercepted, it
cannot be opened and viewed.
• Connection limitations (authentication)
A username and password are registered beforehand so that only registered
wireless LAN terminals can connect to the network, in order to prevent
unauthorised third parties from connecting to the network.

Preventing Unauthorised Access in Easy Connect
Mode (NS Protect)
NS Protect is a personal firewall for Network Screen. NS Protect closes all
ports except the ports that are required for Network Screen connection and
control, so that unauthorised access from outside can be prevented.
To use NS Protect, a user with administrator privileges must login from a
Windows XP-based computer. Other users who do not have the privileges
can not use the function.
Follow the procedure given below to enable NS Protect. These settings
only need to be made once, and will be kept from then on.

Security Countermeasures for Wireless LAN
Setting the Encryption and Authentication Methods
for Wireless LAN Access Point Mode
You can select one encryption/authentication method from the following
available options when using wireless LAN access point mode and running
Network Screen.
• WEP
This uses an encryption key (WEP key) to encode the data.
It works so that if the encryption keys at the access point and the
projector are not identical to each other, data cannot be transmitted.
• WPA
This is an encryption standard that improves security which is a weak
point of WEP. Several different types of encryption method can be used
with WPA, and this projector uses TKIP
automatically update the encryption key at a regular fixed interval, which
makes it harder to break compared to WEP which uses a constant
encryption key.
WPA also includes user authentication functions. WPA authentication
provides two methods: using an authentication server, or authenticating
between a computer and an access point without the server. The EasyMP
supports the latter method (without the server).
• LEAP
This is an authentication method that uses the CCX
security technology developed by Cisco Systems which combines a
unique user authorisation function and an encryption function.
You can't use LEAP without an authentication server
serverg). LEAP uses passwords for authentication without using
electronic signatures.
g. TKIP uses PSK to
g wireless LAN
g (RADIUS
TIP
• Follow the instructions from the network administrator for the
network you are using when making these settings.
• If using LEAP, you need to make settings at the projector which
match the authentication server settings. Check with your network
administrator for details on RADIUS server settings.
• You can use an Internet web browser to access a browser page for
setting and controlling the projector, and you can make the network
settings on that browser page (EasyWeb). Because you can use the
keyboard to enter setting values with EasyWeb, it is useful to use in
order to avoid the inconvenience of entering values using the remote
control. sp.62
