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).

f Changing the image

You can change the "Image.jpg" file to your own preferred image by the following procedure.

PROCEDURE

1

The following types of image can be used.

 

 

 

 

 

 

File format

JPEG (JPEG2000 images cannot be used.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

Max. size (Width x height)

1600 x 1200 pixels

 

 

 

 

 

 

Filename

Image.jpg (Must be this filename)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2

Save the preferred image in the Image sub-folder of

 

the folder that EMP NS Connection has been installed

 

in.

 

 

Example of saving destination:

C:\Program files\EPSON\NSConnection\Image

Installation folder (default)

3 When EMP NS Connection is restarted, the new image will be used for projecting.

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.

:When the interruption prevention function is ON

:When the interruption prevention function is OFF

:When in IP connect mode (interruption prevention function is disabled)

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 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 addressg.

If using easy connect mode under Windows, check the following points.

Has automatic ESSIDgsearching been disabled? (Windows 2000/XP only) s"Computer Wireless LAN Settings" in the EasyMP Network Setup Guide

Is the computer's wireless LAN driver compatible with NDIS5.1?

(Windows 2000/XP only)

For the following, is the ESSID (network name) that has been set at the computer identical to the ESSID at the projector?

·When using Windows98/ME

·When setting the automatic ESSID searching to off

If using a Macintosh, check the following points also.

Is the network status correct?

·In easy connect mode, has "AirPort: On" been selected and has the ESSID for the appropriate projector been selected?

·In access point mode, has "AirPort: On" been selected and has the appropriate access point been selected?

·In wired LAN mode, has "AirPort: Off" been selected? s"Starting EMP NS Connection at the Computer" in the EasyMP Network Setup Guide

Projectors that have been registered are added to the "Projector" list.

The connection statuses are indicated by the icon colour and shape as follows.

:Not connected

:Connected to other computer

:Currently being searched for

:Specified projector could not be found

TIP

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 projectors that were added to the "Projector" list will be deleted. If 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

8 Click the name of the projector to be connected, select the check box for that projector, and then click the "Connect" button.

The computer and projector will be connected via the network, and the computer screen will be projected by the projector.

TIP

If you select a projector that is already connecting to another computer, the other computer is automatically disconnected and your computer's image will be projected.

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 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

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

18

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.

Firewall

Prevent unauthorized access from outside of the LAN by blocking off unused ports.

The security functions used by this projector vary depending on the mode used to connect to the wireless LAN.

Using Encrypted Transmissions in Easy Connect

2 Select "Use encrypted communication." and then

Mode

click the "OK" button.

 

 

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

2 Select "Use NS Protect (In AdHoc mode only)." and

Mode (NS Protect)

then click the "OK" button.

 

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.

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 TKIPg. TKIP uses PSK to 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

21

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

PROCEDURE

1

Insert a wireless LAN card into the card slot of the

 

projector.

 

 

 

 

 

 

2

Set the projector to EasyMP standby screen.

s"Setting the Projector to Connection Standby Mode" in the

EasyMP Network Setup Guide

This is an authentication method that uses the CCXg wireless LAN 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 serverg (RADIUS serverg). LEAP uses passwords for authentication without using electronic signatures.
