Two connection modes
5
EMP NS Connection supports two connection modes, namely, "Quick
Connection Mode" and "Advanced Connection Mode".
Quick Connection Mode
• With an ad hoc connection, because the projector’s SSID is temporarily
assigned to the computer, you do not have to perform any setup
operations from the computer.
• After the computer has been cut off, its network settings automatically
return to their original state.
Advanced Connection Mode
• With an infrastructure connection, the connection is made to an existing
network system.
• This type of connection is used when you want to open and project the
contents of a file over a network, share the projector, or apply security.

Steps up to the making of an EMP NS connection
The steps leading up to the creation of an EMP NS connection between the computer and the projector are the same in both "Quick Connection
Mode" and "Advanced Connection Mode".
For details on the procedure, see the example of setting up a connection in "Quick Connection Mode" in the Wireless LAN Quick Connection
Guide, provided separately.
This explains the steps to be taken to establish a connection, while also covering the settings to be made in "Advanced Connection Mode".

Wireless LAN Security Countermeasures
One of the advantages of using a wireless LAN is that it is possible to
communicate easily if you are within the range of the electromagnetic
waves, because with a wireless LAN data is exchanged through
electromagnetic waves.
On the other hand, since electromagnetic waves extend through
obstacles such as walls, the content of the communication can be
intercepted, and the network can be breached without using any
special tools if security is not set.
To prevent these problems, the projector is provided with the following
security functions.
• Data encryption
Encode and transmit data. Even if data is intercepted, it cannot be
deciphered. Whenever you establish a connection in "Quick
Connection Mode" you should always encrypt your data. s p.34
• Connection limitation (Authentication)
A users name and a password are registered in advance, which
means that only the registered wireless port can connect to the
network and prevents unauthorized third parties from connecting to
the network. The projector supports this setting when using a
wireless LAN in "Advanced Connection Mode" to establish a
connection. sUser's Guide"Network Menu (EMP-1715/1705 Only)"

The toolbar is displayed on the computer screen after EMP NS
Connection is started and the connection with the projector is
established. This toolbar allows you to control and make settings for
the projector being used.

Projecting Movies from a Computer (Movie Sending Mode)
14
In Movie Sending Mode, movie files can be sent directly to a projector.
As a result, a movie can be projected much more smoother than when
it is being sent from an application running on a PC.
Also, because the audio is sent at the same time as the video, there is
no need for an audio cable between the computer and the projector.
When you select multiple files, they are played back repeatedly and in
sequence.
• Movie Sending Mode is valid for one projector only. It is
q
not possible to apply Movie Sending Mode to more than
one projector.
• Depending on the communication method and the
available reception, the image and sound may skip or stall.
Supported file types
The file types supported by Movie Sending Mode are listed in the
following table.

Using Multi-Screen Display
16
Multi-screen display mode allows you to project different images from
multiple projectors that are connected to a single computer.
With Windows, multiple virtual displays can be set in the computer,
and each image can be projected by the projector. This function is not
available with Windows Vista due to restrictions in the Windows Vista
specifications.
For the Macintosh, an external monitor must be connected to the
computer to enable the use of the multi-screen display function.
Whereas the above explanation has referred to "virtual display", in the
case of the Macintosh, the operation relates to the screens displayed
on the physically connected monitor.
Example of Adjusting the Virtual Display
By arranging the virtual display allocation, you can project only the image
that you want to show when making a presentation or project different
images from left to right.

• Making a Profile................................................................28
• Searching by Specifying a Profile ....................................30
• Managing a Profile............................................................31
Connecting to a projector on a different sub-net
By default, this application only searches for projectors on the same
sub-net as the computer. Therefore, even if you perform a search for
projectors on the network, one on a different sub-net will not be found.
You can, however, identify and connect to a projector on a different
sub-net, as follows.
• Specify either an IP address or projector name and perform a
search.
The IP address can be input directly. Also, provided the name of the
connected server has been registered on the DNS server, you
perform a search simply by inputting that name.s p.27
• Performing a search based on a profile
Once you have performed a search for a projector on a different subnet by specifying either an IP address or a projector name, you can
save the search as a profile with an easy-to-remember name, and
then use that profile whenever you subsequently want to search for a
projector on a different sub-net.s p.28
If a search fails to find a projector, the most likely causes
q
are as follows. Proceed as appropriate, depending on the
cause of the failure.
For both Windows and the Macintosh
• The wireless LAN signal is either out of range or weak.
Check whether there is anything that could be interfering
with the signal.
For the Macintosh
• "AirPort: On" is not set, or an appropriate access point is
not selected.
Check whether AirPort is set to "On". Or, check whether
an appropriate access has been selected.
26
Searching by Specifying the IP Address and Projector Name (For "Advanced Connection Mode" only)
27
In the following explanations, unless otherwise noted, Windows screen
shots are used.
You see a similar screen even when using Macintosh.
Procedure
A
Click "Manual search" on the EMP NS Connection
projector selection screen.
B
q
Enter the IP address or the projector name for the
projector you want to connect to, and click the "OK"
button.
The results of the search are shown on the EMP NS Connection
projector selection screen.
Assuming that the desired projector has been found by the search,
select that projector and then click the "Connect" button to
establish a connection.
When you will always be using that projector, save the search as a
profile, such that you do not have to specify the relevant details
every time you perform a search.s p.28
When you use "Manual search" in "Quick Connection
Mode", you can specify the SSID. When there are a lot of
projectors you can narrow the search field by using SSID.
Performing a search with a profile
28
You can save a search for a frequently used projector as a profile. A
"profile" is a file containing all of the information pertaining to a given
projector, such as the projector name, its IP address, and SSID. By
specifying that profile whenever you subsequently perform a search,
the search will be performed using the saved IP address and projector
name. For example, by creating a group of profiles for each place
where a projector is setup and managing them with folders, the target
projector can be found quickly.
