Before using the network functions

To use the network functions of this projector, the projector must be configured to suit your network. Consult with your network administrator before connecting the projector to your network. Incorrect network configuration of this projector may cause problems on your network. Connect to the Gateway (The router/PC that forwards traffic to a destination outside of the subnet of the transmitting device) from the network terminal on the projector using a CAT-5 cable and configure the following settings.

If using a network with DHCP enabled:

The projector’s network settings can be configured automatically when [DHCP] on the network menu is set to On (the checkbox is checked). Please refer to DHCP in the User’s Guide Network menu. If a fixed / static IP address is required, please configure your projector according to the steps in the following section.

If using a network system that does not have DHCP enabled or if using a fixed IP address on a network system equipped with DHCP enabled:

Configure the following settings on the network menu.

1 [DHCP]: Disable DHCP (Set [DHCP] to Off (the checkbox is unchecked). 2 [IP ADDRESS]: Enter an appropriate IP address for the projector to connect to your network. 3 [SUBNET MASK]: Enter an appropriate SUBNETMASK for the projector to connect to your network. 4 [DEFAULT GATEWAY]: Enter an appropriate Gateway (the router/PC that forwards traffic to a destination out-

side of the subnet of the transmitting device) address for the projector to connect to your network.

Configuring and controlling the projector via a web browser

You can adjust or control the projector via a network from a web browser on a PC that is connected to the same network.

NOTE:

• Internet Explorer 5.5 or higher or Netscape 6.2 or higher are required.

tor web pages properly. See the Help files for your web browser for details on how to enable JavaScript.

• If no operations are performed via a web browser for approx. 50 seconds the system will automatically log off.

Please Re-log on to continue operations via a web browser.

• After you logon, a small, blank window will appear behind the main operation window. Please do not close this

small, blank window. If this window is closed, the system will automatically log off after certain period of time even if an operation is being performed. The small, blank window will close when the main operation window is closed.

• The small, blank window may be considered a pop-up and be blocked if your browser or other security software

is set to block pop-ups. If the window is blocked, you need to choose the option to allow pop-ups to be shown.

Internet Explorer on a Microsoft Windows version prior to Windows XP Service Pack 2 install security update Q832894 (MS04-004) or the web browser interface may not be displayed correctly.
