Solutions When You Cannot Find Connected Projectors (Wired)
When you cannot connect the projector over a network using a wired connection, try the following
solutions. If you cannot resolve the problem, contact your network administrator.
• Check the status of the external devices used for the network connection or the projector's setting
environment.
• Connect the network cable securely.
Note:
• Use a commercially available 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T LAN cable.
• To prevent malfunctions, use a category 5 or higher shielded LAN cable.
• Check the projector's network settings.
• Set DHCP to Off. When DHCP is set to On, it may take some time to enter LAN standby status if an
available DHCP server is not found.
Go to Network > Network Configuration > Wired LAN > DHCP or Network > Network
Configuration > Wired LAN > IP Settings > DHCP.
• Set the IP address, the subnet mask, and the gateway address for the projector correctly.
• Close network settings on the projector, and then return to the LAN standby screen.

• Check the computer's network settings.
• Enable LAN settings on your computer.
Check Control Panel > System > Hardware > Device Manager.

Solving Problems When Updating
See the following section for solutions to problems that may occur when updating.
Solutions When You Cannot Update Firmware or Copy Menu Settings
Parent topic: Solving Problems
Solutions When You Cannot Update Firmware or Copy Menu Settings
• Check that the computer is connected to the network.
• Check that EasyMP Network Updater was running at the scheduled update time.
• If the projector's Standby Mode is set to Communication Off and the projector is off, the firmware
cannot be updated and the menu settings cannot be copied. Change the Standby Mode to
Communication On.
Go to Extended > Standby Mode or ECO > Standby Mode.
• The firmware or configuration file may be corrupted. Download the firmware or copy the menu settings
again, and then try again.
• If the update is not performed at the specified time, check that the schedule has not been canceled.
Canceled schedules remain in the Schedule List and their status reads Finish.
• Start Now is unavailable when Set the Time is selected. Clear the Set the Time checkbox.
• If the network settings are changed after creating a projector list, the firmware cannot be updated and
menu settings cannot be copied because the information for the projectors registered to the projector
list and the projector's actual settings differ. Click Refresh on the Projector List Edit screen to update
the projector information.
• On a DHCP network, if the time taken to assign network information is too short, the projector's
network information may change during update and you may not be able to update the firmware or
copy menu settings. When updating the firmware or copying menu settings, try a longer time setting.
• When the Windows Security Alert appears to confirm the Firewall setting while searching for the
projectors, allow access to the EasyMP Network Updater.
