Quick Connection Mode and Advanced Connection Mode

5

There are two methods of connecting the projector and a computer by
using wireless LAN, "Quick Connection Mode" and "Advanced
Connection Mode".

f Quick Connection Mode

In Quick Connection Mode the projector and a computer can be connected
easily without making any complex network settings.*
Use Quick Connection Mode when you want to connect quickly with a
wireless LAN.

Quick Connection Mode uses an ad hoc connection (computers with a
common ESSID connection) to connect. You can connect to a computer
equipped with either of the following.

• Wireless LAN card

• Computers with a built-in wireless LAN function
See the Wireless LAN Quick Connection Guide for details on connecting
using Quick Connection Mode.

f Advanced Connection Mode

In Advanced Connection Mode, you can connect to the network system
via a wireless LAN access point.
Use Advanced Connection Mode when you want to connect as part of a
network system and take security measures.

For details on connecting using Advanced Connection Mode, see
"Connecting to an Access Point with Wireless LAN" s p.21.

* In Quick Connection Mode, because the projector’s ESSID is

temporarily allocated to the computer, you do not have to make any
setup operations from the computer. After it has been cut off, the
computer’s network settings automatically return to their original
condition.

Notes When Using a Wireless LAN

6

Conditions for Connecting to Compatible Wireless LAN Cards and Access Points

The supplied wireless LAN unit can be connected to the following
products in accordance with IEEE 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a.

• Wireless LAN card

• Computers with internal wireless LAN functionality

• Access points
However, you are unlikely to be able to make an ad hoc connection for
wireless LAN equipment used with a computer in IEEE 802.11g. For
details on wireless LAN equipment see the specifications.

Supplied Wireless LAN Unit Specifications

Frequency Range 2.4 GHz band, 5GHz band.
Modulation 802.11b : DS-SS

802.11a/g : OFDM

Potential Interference
Range

Propriety of frequency
change

Less than 20 m

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

Electromagnetic Wave Safety Precautions

• 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 Precautions

The frequency band for the wireless LAN card that is included with the
projector is 2.4 GHz. This band is also used for industrial, scientific, and
medical devices such as microwave ovens and mobile unit identification
(RF-ID) systems (licenced premises radio stations and unlicenced
specified low-power radio stations) used in factory production lines.
Before using the wireless LAN card, check that there are not any radio
stations for mobile unit identification or specified low-power radio station
premises nearby. In the event that this wireless LAN card 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 your nearest dealer or the address provided
under "International Warranty Conditions" in Safety Instructions/World­Wide Warranty Terms booklet if this wireless LAN card interferes
electromagnetically with a special low-power radio station used for
mobile unit identification or causes similar problems.

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.

International Travel Precautions

Wireless LAN units are based on the specifications of the country of
purchase.
Because wireless LAN units are designed to conform to the channel and
frequency limits of the country they are intended to be used in, the
included wireless LAN unit may infringe upon the laws or regulations of
other countries if used outside the country of purchase.

Notes When Using a Wireless LAN

7

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

• 802.11a (5 GHz band) external use

Notes on Security when Using Wireless LANs

(Important information on customer rights (maintaining privacy))

Because wireless LANs use electromagnetic signals instead of a LAN
cable 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 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.

• 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.
For the wireless LAN equipment, settings concerning security may not be
set at the time of purchase.
Therefore, to decrease the possibility of security risks occurring, make
sure you follow the instructions in this manual to make the security
settings before using the wireless LAN card and wireless LAN access
point.
Make sure you understand these security settings fully before using
because the security setup can sometimes be bypassed by using a special
method of the wireless LAN specifications.
Security settings for this product, see s"Wireless LAN Security
Countermeasures" p.43
Contact the information centre for help making the security settings.
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.

• 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)

Connection Limitations

8

When projecting computer images by using Network Presentation, the
following restrictions apply. Confirm these points.

Supported Resolutions
