Caution

To use the wireless network function of this projector, the designated USB wireless adapter that is sold as an option is required. For precautions according to the standards and laws, refer to the documents that come with the adapter.

[Restriction on plugging and unplugging the USB wireless adapter]

Before you insert or pull out the USB wireless adapter from the projector, turn off the power of the projector and pull out the power cord’s plug from the outlet. Do not touch the USB wireless adapter that is connected to the projector while the projector is receiving AC power. Do not use any extension cable or device when connecting the adapter to the projector.

[Security precautions when using wireless LAN]

It is recommended that security settings, such as SSID and ENCRYPTION, are speciﬁed when using wireless LAN communication. If the security settings are not speciﬁed, the contents may be intercepted or it may cause unauthorized access to the system. For details on wireless LAN security settings, refer to 3.1 Projector Web Control or

NETWORK menu in the Operating Guide.

CAUTION

►The optional IEEE802.11b/g/n USB wireless adapter uses the 2.4GHz radio frequency band. You do not need a radio license to use the adapter, but you should be aware of the following:

• DO NOT USE NEAR THE FOLLOWING!

• Microwave ovens

• Industrial, scientiﬁc or medical devices

• Designated low power radio stations

• Premises radio stations Using the USB wireless adapter near the above may cause radio interference, which would result in a decrease in transmission speed or interruption, and even lead to malfunctioning of devices such as pacemakers.

• Depending on the location where the USB wireless adapter is used, radio wave

interference may occur, which may result in a decrease in transmission speed or interruption in communication.In particular, please be aware that using the USB wireless adapter at locations where there is reinforced steel, other types of metals or concrete is likely to cause radio wave interference.

• Available Channels

The USB wireless adapter uses the 2.4GHz radio frequency band, but depending on the country or region you are in, the channels that you can use might be limited. Please consult your dealer for information on the usable channels.

• Bringing the optional USB wireless adapter out of the country or region you

reside in and using it there could lead to a violation of the radio laws of that country or region.

1.2 Manual network connection setting - Wired LAN -

This section explains how to set it up manually.

1.2.1 Equipments connection

Connect the projector and a computer with a LAN cable. * Before connecting with an existing network, contact the network administrator.

Next, check the following computer settings.

1.2.2 Network settings

This is an explanation of network connection settings for Windows

1) Log on to Windows

7 as administrator authority. Administrator authority is the

account, which can access to all functions.

2) Open “Control Panel” from “Start” menu.

3) Open “View network status and tasks” in “Network and Internet”. With the icons in the "Control Panel" window displayed, click "Network and Sharing Center".

4) Click "Change adapter settings" in the menu on the left side of the "Network and Sharing Center" window.

1.2 Manual network connection setting - Wired LAN - (continued)

5) Right-click "Local Area Connection" to open the menu, and select "Properties".

6) Select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)" and click [Properties].

7) Select "Use the following IP address" and conﬁgure the IP address, Subnet mask and Default gateway for the computer accordingly. If a DHCP server exists in the network, you can select "Obtain an IP address automatically" and the IP address will be assigned automatically. After setting is complete, click [OK] to close the window.

(continued on next page)

1. Connection to the network

1.2 Manual network connection setting - Wired LAN - (continued)

[About IP address]

■ Setting manually

The Network address portion of the IP address setting on your computer must be the same as the setting on the projector. Also, the entire IP address on the computer must not overlap with that of the other devices on the same network, including the projector.

For example

The projector’s settings are as follows.

IP address: 192.168.1.254 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (Network address: 192.168.1 in this case)

Therefore, specify the computer’s IP address as follows.

IP address: 192.168.1.xxx (xxx shows decimal number.) Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (Network address: 192.168.1 in this case)

Select from 1 to 254 for “xxx” not duplicating with any other equipments. In this case, since the IP address of the projector is “192.168.1.254”, specify a setting between 1 to 253 for the computer.

NOTE

• “0.0.0.0” cannot be set to the IP address.

• The projector’s IP address can be changed by using the conﬁguration utility via a web browser. (

21)

• If the projector and the computer exist in the same network (i.e., same network address), you can leave the default gateway ﬁeld blank.

• When the projector and the computer exist in different networks, the default gateway must be set. Consult to the network administrator in detail.

■ Setting automatically

When a DHCP server exists in the connected network, it is possible to assign an IP address to the projector and computer automatically.

* DHCP is abbreviation for “Dynamic Host Conﬁguration Protocol” and has

the function to provide necessary setting for network like IP address from server to client. A server that has DHCP function is called DHCP server.

Using the designated USB wireless adapter (option) on the projector enables the projector and computer to communicate in both the Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure modes. This section is intended to explain how to set up wireless LAN connection manually.

1.3.1 Preparation for wireless LAN connection

Fig. 1.3.1.a Without an access point communication (Ad-Hoc)

Wireless LAN -

Fig. 1.3.1.b With an access point communication (Infrastructure)

* Ad-Hoc is one of the wireless LAN communication methods without having

access point to communicate.

* Infrastructure is one of the wireless LAN communication methods with having

access point to communicate. If certain quantities of equipments are used, this mode is efﬁcient. If communicating with existing network, consult to your network administrator.

First, insert the USB wireless adapter into the USB TYPE A port. (

 Connecting with your devices in the Operating Guide) Then, set up the computer for wireless communication. When the computer comes with a built-in IEEE802.11b/g/n wireless LAN device, enable it and disable other network connections. If a wireless LAN device is not built into the computer, connect an IEEE802.11b/g/n wireless LAN device and install the device driver. For details, refer to the user's guide for the computer and wireless LAN device.
