Two connection modes

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.

Internet

LAN

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".

Preparing the Computer

• Install EMP NS Connection on the computer to be connected.

• Enable the setup of a network connection.

Preparing the Projector

The projector incorporates the same wireless LAN unit.

Establish connection and start projection

Start EMP NS Connection on the computer and then establish a connection with the projector.

The following convenient functions are provided to help users with meetings and presentations

• Multi-Screen Display s p.16

• Movie Sending Mode s p.14

• Presentation Modes p.13

Advanced Connection Mode Settings

When using a wired LAN with a Macintosh computer, set "AirPort Off" in the communication state.

AirPort Off Connection is not possible with the wireless LAN

• When using a wired LAN to establish the network connection, install the optional Ethernet unit to the projector and connect the projector using the likes of a commercially available network cable and hub.

• Make the network settings for the projector. sUser's Guide "Network Menu (EMP-1715/1705 Only)"

• Distribution function

The screen being displayed by a remote computer can be simultaneously displayed by up to four projectors with corresponding SSID.

• Switching function

With the meeting switching function and assuming that EMP NS Connection has been installed on all the computers, the participants can take turns and project their own images, without the need to swap cables.

For details on the restrictions imposed on the projection of computer images over a connection with EMP NS Connection, such as the

compatible resolution and display colors, see "Connection Limitations".

p.76

Using the main screen of EMP NS Connection

When EMP NS Connection is started, the following screen is displayed. The operation of each button or menu item is described in the following table.

When the system has been started in "Quick Connection Mode".

When the system has been started in "Advanced Connection Mode".

Automatic search In "Quick Connection Mode", a search is made for a

projector based on the SSID. In "Advanced Connection Mode", you can search for available projectors on the network system that the computer is connected to.

Manual search In "Quick Connection Mode", a search is made for the

projector having the SSID selected from a list. In "Advanced Connection Mode", you can search for a projector based on a specified IP address or projector name.

mark against it. Whenever connection with a projector is possible, a toolbar is displayed.

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)"

Using the Toolbar

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.

Icon Names and Functions

Select target projector

It is possible to specify one particular projector when you want to use to the toolbar to control that projector, despite the distribution function or multi-screen display being used to project images from multiple connected projectors. The indication below the icon indicates that control of that projector is possible. "ALL" indicates that all of the connected projectors can be controlled. For example, when "1, 3" is displayed, projectors No. 1 and No. 3 can be controlled.

Clicking causes the following screen to be displayed.

Projecting Only a PowerPoint Slideshow (Presentation Mode)

In Presentation Mode, only when performing a PowerPoint Slideshow on a computer, the images are displayed. This is useful when you only want to display the Slideshow. In addition to PowerPoint, Keynote is compatible with Presentation Mode with the Macintosh.

Procedure

A B

If necessary, select another projector to be controlled.s p.10

Click the button on the toolbar.

Presentation Mode begins.

When in Presentation Mode, click the button again to exit Presentation Mode.

Projecting Movies from a Computer (Movie Sending Mode)

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

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.

File type

Using Multi-Screen Display

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.

For arrangement example 1 on page 16, open the PowerPoint file and Excel file.

Drag the window to the desired virtual display monitor, and allocate it where the image is to be projected.

In the example in which the PowerPoint and Excel files are opened, drag the Excel window to the right until it can no longer be seen. As a result, the PowerPoint window appears on the actual monitor, while the Excel window appears on the virtual display on the right.

The allocated image is projected

The following explains how to allocate the computer image using

arrangement example 1 on page 16.

Select the number of the virtual display to allocate to "Display", and set which image to be projected from which projector.

Click the "Connect" button.

Using Multi-Screen Display

The image allocated to each projector is projected.

In a Windows environment, you cannot view the image being sent to a virtual display on the computer. To adjust the image on the virtual display, you must do so while viewing the projected image. To perform mouse-based operations on the virtual display, move the mouse pointer in the direction of the virtual display, such that the pointer appears on the virtual display.

To terminate multi-screen display, click "Disconnect" on the toolbar.

• In a Windows environment, if the virtual display driver has been enabled such that the mouse pointer can be moved outside the limits of the screen, there may be occasions when you lose track of the location of the pointer. When you are not using a virtual display, clear the check mark against the under "Add/Remove EPSON Virtual Display", such that the mouse pointer cannot be moved outside the limits of the screen. To subsequently use multi-screen display again, again place a check mark against the required display under "Add/Remove EPSON Virtual Display".

Mode" only) ......................................................... 27

Performing a search with a profile.................... 28

• 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

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.

Searching by Specifying the IP Address and Projector Name (For "Advanced Connection Mode" only)

In the following explanations, unless otherwise noted, Windows screen shots are used. You see a similar screen even when using Macintosh.

Procedure

Click "Manual search" on the EMP NS Connection projector selection screen.

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

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.

Changing Settings Using a Web Browser (Web Control)

You can set up and control the projector from a computer by using the Web browser of a computer that is connected to the projector via a network. Setup and control operations can be performed remotely if this function is used. In addition, since you can use the computers keyboard, entering characters required for the setup is easier. Use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later as the Web browser. If using a Macintosh, you can also use Safari. If, however, you are using Safari under Macintosh 10.2.8, some of the Web control radio buttons may not display properly.

Setup and control with a Web browser are possible if set to

"Network ON" in the "Extended" menu of the projector’s configuration menu, even if the projector is in standby mode (when the power is off).

Displaying Web Control

Display Web control with the following procedure.

If your Web browser is set up to connect via a proxy server,

Web control cannot be displayed. To use the Web control, you need to make network connection settings with other than a proxy server.

The "MAC Address" is not displayed.

Using the Mail Notification Function to Report Problems

By setting the mail notification function from network settings in the configuration menu, notification messages will be sent to preset e-mail addresses when a problem or warning occurs with a projector. This will enable the operator to be notified of problems with projectors even at locations away from the projectors.

• Up to a maximum of three notification destinations

(addresses) can be recorded, and notification messages can be sent to all three destinations at once.

• If a projector develops a critical problem and suddenly stops working, it may not be able to send a message notifying an operator of the problem.

• Setup and control with a Web browser are possible if set to "Network ON" in the "Extended" menu of the projector’s configuration menu, even if the projector is in standby mode (when the power is off).

Setting Mail Notification Function

Glossary

This section explains easily terms that are used with the projector and difficult terms that are not explained in the text of this guide. For details, refer to other commercially available publications.

DPOF An abbreviation of Digital Print Order Format, this is a format for recording information (photos that you want to print, number of copies,

and so on) to print photos taken with a digital camera in recording media such as memory cards.

DVI An abbreviation of Digital Visual Interface, this is the standard by which video signals are transmitted digitally.

DVI is the standard not only for computers, but also for digital home appliances to be able to transfer images with a resolution greater than DFP, and there is also an encryption function in the digital signal.

MAC address An abbreviation of Media Access Control. The MAC address is an ID number unique to each network adaptor. A unique number is

assigned to each network adaptor, and data is transmitted between network adaptors based on this identification.

NDIS An abbreviation of Network Driver Interface Specification, this is the standard specification of network drivers to use network cards such

as wireless LAN cards set by the Microsoft Company and so on. It provides communication protocols for OS, software, and drivers to communicate, as well as communication protocol regulations for drivers and network cards.

RADIUS Server "RADIUS" is an abbreviation of Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, this is a protocol that starts wireless LAN and is used for

authentication by a variety of network services. A RADIUS server with an authentication server that uses RADIUS performs authentication for access to a wireless LAN access point with information such as user name and password. When a RADIUS server is used, user information does not need to be individually registered for each access point even when there are multiple wireless LAN access points, and the access point and the users can be controlled.

SVGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 800 (horizontal) x 600 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers. SXGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1,280 (horizontal) x 1,024 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers. USB An abbreviation of Universal Serial Bus, this is an interface to connect relatively low-speed peripherals between computers. UXGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1,600 (horizontal) x 1,200 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers. VGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 640 (horizontal) x 480 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers. XGA A type of video signal with a resolution of 1,024 (horizontal) x 768 (vertical) dots that is used by IBM PC/AT-compatible computers. Ad hoc A method of wireless LAN connection that communicates with wireless LAN clients without using an access point. It is not possible to

communicate with two or more devices simultaneously.

Virtual display The screen for one computer is output to multiple displays. A large virtual screen can be created by using multiple displays. Channel Communication speeds drop if there are too many devices performing wireless communication by using the same frequency. In this case,

interference from other wireless LANs can be avoided by setting a different wireless channel for each wireless LAN network.

Authentication server A server to perform user authentication. When an authentication server is used, user information management and user authentication

operations are unified. Also, because the authentication server often provides an advanced authentication method, it is also effective as a security countermeasure.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991

CopyrightZ 1989, 1991 Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation's software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Lesser General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR

COPYING, DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a

notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License. The "Program", below, refers to any such program or work, and a "work based on the Program" means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".) Each licensee is addressed as "you".

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source

code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it,

thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating

that you changed the files and the date of any change.

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole

or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively

when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under

Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable

source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to

give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to

distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even

though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive

copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later

NO WARRANTY

11. BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

12. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these terms.

To do so, attach the following notices to the program. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

<one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.> CopyrightZ <year> <name of author>

This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

This program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU General Public License for more details.

You should have received a copy of the GNU General Public License along with this program; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail. If the program is interactive, make it output a short notice like this when it starts in an interactive mode:

Gnomovision version 69, CopyrightZ year name of author Gnomovision comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY; for details type `show w'. This is free software, and you are welcome to redistribute it under certain conditions; type `show c' for details.

The hypothetical commands `show w' and `show c' should show the appropriate parts of the General Public License. Of course, the commands you use may be called something other than `show w' and `show c'; they could even be mouse-clicks or menu items--whatever suits your program.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the program, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the program `Gnomovision' (which makes passes at compilers) written by James Hacker.

<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1989 Ty Coon, President of Vice

This General Public License does not permit incorporating your program into proprietary programs. If your program is a subroutine library, you may consider it more useful to permit linking proprietary applications with the library. If this is what you want to do, use the GNU Lesser General Public License instead of this License.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2.1, February 1999

CopyrightZ 1991, 1999 Free Software Foundation, Inc. 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 02110-1301 USA Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

[This is the first released version of the Lesser GPL. It also counts as the successor of the GNU Library Public License, version 2, hence the version number 2.1.]

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.

This license, the Lesser General Public License, applies to some specially designated software packages--typically libraries--of the Free Software Foundation and other authors who decide to use it. You can use it too, but we suggest you first think carefully about whether this license or the ordinary General Public License is the better strategy to use in any particular case, based on the explanations below.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom of use, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish); that you receive source code or can get it if you want it; that you can change the software and use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you are informed that you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid distributors to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender these rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link other code with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients, so that they can relink them with the library after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with a two-step method: (1) we copyright the library, and (2) we offer you this license, which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.

To protect each distributor, we want to make it very clear that there is no warranty for the free library. Also, if the library is modified by someone else and passed on, the recipients should know that what they have is not the original version, so that the original author's reputation will not be affected by problems that might be introduced by others.

Finally, software patents pose a constant threat to the existence of any free program. We wish to make sure that a company cannot effectively restrict the users of a free program by obtaining a restrictive license from a patent holder. Therefore, we insist that any patent license obtained for a version of the library must be consistent with the full freedom of use specified in this license.

Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License. This license, the GNU Lesser General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries, and is quite different from the ordinary General Public License. We use this license for certain libraries in order to permit linking those libraries into non-free programs.

When a program is linked with a library, whether statically or using a shared library, the combination of the two is legally speaking a combined work, a derivative of the original library. The ordinary General Public License therefore permits such linking only if the entire combination fits its criteria of

freedom. The Lesser General Public License permits more lax criteria for linking other code with the library.

We call this license the "Lesser" General Public License because it does Less to protect the user's freedom than the ordinary General Public License. It also provides other free software developers Less of an advantage over competing non-free programs. These disadvantages are the reason we use the ordinary General Public License for many libraries. However, the Lesser license provides advantages in certain special circumstances.

For example, on rare occasions, there may be a special need to encourage the widest possible use of a certain library, so that it becomes a de-facto standard. To achieve this, non-free programs must be allowed to use the library. A more frequent case is that a free library does the same job as widely used non-free libraries. In this case, there is little to gain by limiting the free library to free software only, so we use the Lesser General Public License.

In other cases, permission to use a particular library in non-free programs enables a greater number of people to use a large body of free software. For example, permission to use the GNU C Library in non-free programs enables many more people to use the whole GNU operating system, as well as its variant, the GNU/Linux operating system.

Although the Lesser General Public License is Less protective of the users' freedom, it does ensure that the user of a program that is linked with the Library has the freedom and the wherewithal to run that program using a modified version of the Library.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a "work based on the library" and a "work that uses the library". The former contains code derived from the library, whereas the latter must be combined with the library in order to run.

GNU LESSER GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE TERMS AND

CONDITIONS FOR COPYING,

DISTRIBUTION AND MODIFICATION

0. This License Agreement applies to any software library or other program which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Lesser General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you".

A "library" means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.

The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)

"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.

copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you

may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) The modified work must itself be a software library.

b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating

that you changed the files and the date of any change.

c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to

all third parties under the terms of this License.

d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of

data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete

source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate

(For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License,

and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public

License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices.

Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.

This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library.

4. You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it,

under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.

If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

5. A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is

designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.

However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.

When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.

If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)

Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.

6. As an exception to the Sections above, you may also combine or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.

You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:

a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-

readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)

b) Use a suitable shared library mechanism for linking with the Library.

A suitable mechanism is one that (1) uses at run time a copy of the library already present on the user's computer system, rather than copying library functions into the executable, and (2) will operate properly with a modified version of the library, if the user installs one, as long as the modified version is interface-compatible with the version that the work was made with.

c) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three

years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.

d) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a

designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place.

e) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or

that you have already sent this user a copy.

For an executable, the required form of the "work that uses the Library" must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the materials to be distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.

7. You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library

side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:

a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based

on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.

b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part

of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.

8. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

9. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.

10. Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.

11. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not

permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

12. If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

13. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Lesser General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

14. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

16. IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

How to Apply These Terms to Your New Libraries

If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public License).

To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

<one line to give the library's name and a brief idea of what it does.> CopyrightZ <year> <name of author>

This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2.1 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

This library is distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY; without even the implied warranty of MERCHANTABILITY or FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. See the GNU Lesser General Public License for more details.

Also add information on how to contact you by electronic and paper mail.

You should also get your employer (if you work as a programmer) or your school, if any, to sign a "copyright disclaimer" for the library, if necessary. Here is a sample; alter the names:

Yoyodyne, Inc., hereby disclaims all copyright interest in the library `Frob' (a library for tweaking knobs) written by James Random Hacker.

<signature of Ty Coon>, 1 April 1990 Ty Coon, President of Vice

That's all there is to it!

You should have received a copy of the GNU Lesser General Public License along with this library; if not, write to the Free Software Foundation, Inc., 51 Franklin Street, Fifth Floor, Boston, MA 021101301 USA
