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).

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.
PROCEDURE
Carry out steps 1 to 3 in "Connecting by Specifying

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.

Using Encrypted Transmissions in Easy Connect Mode

You can encrypt the data that is sent from the computer to the projector while Network Screen is running. When the data is encrypted, security can be maintained, but the transmission speeds will become slower. Follow the procedure below to set encryption. These settings only need to be made once, and will be kept from then on.

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

Including PowerPoint Files into Scenarios

PowerPoint files can be included into scenarios by either of the following two methods.
Including All Slides in a PowerPoint File sp.34
Including Only Selected Slides while Checking Thumbnails
sp.35
If all slides in a PowerPoint file are included into the scenario, the animation settings that have been made using PowerPoint are retained and they will appear as usual when the scenario is projected using CardPlayer. If you include only a selection of slides, the animation settings that have been made using PowerPoint will all be ignored.
TIP
Movie files included in a PowerPoint file cannot be played back on the scenario.
Slides that retain their animation settings will be displayed in the cells of the scenario window with an ".EMA" extension. If you click on a cell with an ".EMA" extension, all of the animation operations will be displayed in the animation check window. Slides which have no animation settings will be displayed in the cells with a ".JPG" extension.
