Moderator Function

When using the moderator function, only one person plays a role of moderator who can control the projected display. This function is suitable for meetings in which one user is the moderator and the other users are participants, and the moderator must control the projected display.
This can also be useful in a classroom environment where the moderator must control the lesson without interruption.

Depending on your projector, some connection methods may not be available. See your projector User's Guide for more details.
• To connect the projector to the computer directly using wireless communication: Use Quick Connection Mode.
• To connect the projector to the computer using a wireless network system: Use Advanced Connection Mode.
18
• To connect the projector to the computer using a wired network system: Use Advanced Connection Mode.
Parent topic: Selecting Projector Network Settings

Recommended Wireless Environment for Multi PC Projection

When you connect multiple devices to a projector using the Quick connection mode, we recommend limiting the number of devices to six or less to maintain the projection performance. The number of devices that can connect to a projector at the same time differs depending on the wireless communication environment.
When you connect a projector to a wireless LAN and connect multiple devices wirelessly using the Advanced connection mode, note the following recommendations.
• Set up multiple access points so that one of the access points can connect up to 10 or 20 devices. See the access point manual for more information on the maximum number of devices that can be connected.
• When you use multiple access points, assign a different channel to each access point, and use different access points for the projector connection and the computer connection.
• Use a wireless LAN controller, if possible, to enhance the connection stability.
• Use an access point that supports 802.11n.
Contact your network administrator for help in setting up the wireless environment.
19
Note: If your projector supports a wired LAN connection, we recommend using a wired LAN connection
when you connect multiple devices to the projector.
