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.
5
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 |
6 |
|
|
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.
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)"
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
•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.
qFor 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".s p.76

Wireless LAN Security Countermeasures |
9 |
|
|
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.
Indicates the projection status of the projector.
Indicates the number of an assigned projector. When control of a specific projector has been set up, indicates the number of the projector that can be controlled from the toolbar.

Projecting Only a PowerPoint Slideshow (Presentation Mode) |
13 |
|
|
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 If necessary, select another projector to be controlled.s p.10
B Click the 
button on the toolbar.
Presentation Mode begins.
C When in Presentation Mode, click the |
|
button |
|
||
again to exit Presentation Mode. |
|
|
|
|
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
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.
16
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.

Connecting to a projector on a different sub-net |
26 |
|
|
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.
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.
B Enter the IP address or the projector name for the projector you want to connect to, and click the "OK" button.
Procedure
A Click "Manual search" on the EMP NS Connection projector selection screen.
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 q 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.
