Introducing the HP Jetdirect Network Projector Manager

System Overview

The Jetdirect network projector manager is a network server module that connects to the USB port of a Jetdirect-compatible HP digital projector to provide network access to that projector. This enables a system administrator to monitor and manage this and any other connected projectors from a remote location. The administrator can use a standard Web browser to manage individual projectors, or use free HP Web Jetadmin software to manage many projectors.

The network projector manager includes a USB 2.0 port, and is compatible with the following networks and projectors:

● Ethernet (IEEE 802.3i 10Base-T) and Fast Ethernet (IEEE 802.3u

100Base-TX) networks. See “Specifications supported network protocols.

● HP vp6300 series digital projectors (firmware version 2.000 or later), and

newer models of non-mobile HP business projectors. For a list of compatible projectors, go to www.hp.com/support Jetdirect model number.
