Connecting the LiteShow II Adapter

Required connections

Connect the included VGA cable from the VGA OUT port on the LiteShow II adapter to the VGA in port on your projector. Connect the AC Power adapter to a power

outlet, then connect it to the Power In connector on the adapter. The LED on the front of the adapter lights steady red while the adapter is booting up and steady green

when the adapter is initialized and ready. (The LED blinks green when the adapter is in use and it blinks red in the event of an error.)

If you plan to mount the adapter adjacent to the projector, drill 2 holes 8 cm apart. A mounting template is included on page 34 to help you locate the holes.

Turn on your projector. The LiteShow Startup screen appears on your display. Note that this screen can change based on the adapter’s network type. Additional informa-

tion, like adapter host name and adapter IP address may appear. See pages 20-26 for detail on network type and related settings.

Optional connections

If you want to be able to access the main network through the LiteShow II adapter, either connect an Ethernet cable from the LAN port on the LiteShow II adapter to the

main network, or connect the adapter to the main network wirelessly. See page 8 for details. If you are using Enterprise mode, you must connect the adapter to the main

network with an Ethernet cable.

Auxiliary video

If your projector is already installed and connected to a wired VGA cable, you can continue using that cable when you aren't using the LiteShow II adapter. Disconnect that

cable from the projector, and connect it to the AUX VGA IN connector on the adapter instead. In this configuration, auxiliary video will be displayed unless the adapter is

in use.

Sound

To hear sound played from the adapter, connect the included audio cable from the AUDIO OUT port on the LiteShow II adapter to your projector. You can control sound

output using Adapter options, see page 17.

Installing LiteShow II Manager Software on your Computer

You can install this application from the included LiteShow Manager CD or download it from the LiteShow II adapter or from our website. It is easier to install it directly

from the CD.

1 Insert the LiteShow II CD into your computer.

The install screen appears. Follow the instructions on the screen to install the necessary software and drivers on your computer. A reboot may be required at the com-

pletion of the installation.

Installer creates the following items:

InFocus > LiteShow II folder in Start > Programs with LiteShow II User's Guide, LiteShow Help, LiteShow Manager, and Uninstall LiteShow Manager.

It can also install a LiteShow II Manager desktop shortcut.

You only need to download and install once. After you have installed the software, to start projecting, double-click the LiteShow II Manager shortcut on your computer or

choose LiteShow Manager from the Start/All Programs/InFocus/LiteShow Manager.

To install from the adapter, follow the instructions on the Liteshow splash screen.

Connecting to the Main network/Internet

If you want to be able to access your main network/internet while also using the LiteShow II adapter, you must do one of the following:

1 If your computer has both a wireless and a wired connection, connect to the main network using the wired connection, and use the wireless connection to project to

the adapter.

2 If your computer has only one wireless network connection, you can configure the LiteShow II adapter to act as a wireless access point. In this mode, your computer

reaches the main network/internet through the wireless connection to the adapter. See page 20.

Running LiteShow II Manager Software

On your computer, either choose LiteShow II Manager from the InFocus menu or double-click the LiteShow II Manager shortcut on your desktop. Adjust the angle of the

antenna on the back of the adapter to maximize the wireless signal strength.

The Main window appears.

NOTE: Many functions can be accessed either by clicking the appropriate button or by pressing the corresponding Alt-key equivalent. These are indicated in the software

by underline initial letters. For example, to start projecting, either click that button or press the Alt+S keys.

If you see "Not connected", you must connect to a projector or display device. Click Connect to Projector...

This window allows you to select which projector you want to use to display your desktop. The name of the projector at your location will be shown in the adapter's

splash screen under "adapter name". Select the desired one and click Connect.

If you experience problems wirelessly connecting to the LiteShow II adapter, or you experience dropped connections while projecting, you may be able to resolve (or

greatly improve) these problems by trying the following steps:

1. Search your computer manufacturer's support website for the latest driver software for your computer's wireless network adapter. This is the best option as it

increases the likelihood that the driver has been tested with your model of computer. If this option does not result in a suitable driver, then go to step 2.

2. Search for the driver on the wireless network adapter manufacturer's website. This may produce the most recent version of the driver, but this configuration may not

have been tested with your specific model of computer.

3. Some antivirus products may close the wireless connection if they detect a virus pattern. The projection data sent by LiteShow may trigger a 'false positive' in this

case, even though no virus is present. Typically checking the Event Viewer in Windows can help to identify this issue.

For up-to-date support on this issue, visit http://www.infocus.com/support/liteshowII or check the Read Me file included with your LiteShow II software. For other assis-

tance with issues, see the Troubleshooting section starting on page 27.

adjust the antenna angle on the back of the adapter to

If you have connected to a projector in the past, you can click the Start Projecting button to immediately start displaying your desktop to the projector. To make meetings

more collaborative, you do not have to exit the entire application to hand over access to the projector to another user, you can simply click Stop Projecting. Toggling this

button starts and stops projection of your desktop. Use Connect to Projector only if you want to change projectors.
