Notes on Using Wireless Connection

Wireless connection function of the projector uses radio waves in the 2.4 GHz band. A radio station license is not required, but be sure to read and fully understand the following items before use.
Do not use near other wireless equipment.
The following equipment may use radio waves in the same band as the projector. When the projector is used near these devices, radio wave interference may make communication impossible, or the communication speed may become slower.
• Microwave ovens, etc.
• Industrial, chemical and medical equipment, etc.
• In-plant radio stations for identifying moving objects such as those used in factory manufacturing lines, etc.
• Designated low-power radio stations
If at all possible, avoid the use of cellular phones, TV sets or radios near the projector.
Cellular phones, TV sets, radios and similar devices use different radio bands from wireless communication or the transmission and reception of these devices. However, radio waves from the projector may produce audio or video noise.
Wireless communication radio waves cannot penetrate steel reinforcements, metal, concrete,
etc.
Communication is possible through walls and floors made from materials such as wood and glass (except glass containing wire mesh), but not through walls and floors made from steel reinforcements, metal, concrete, etc.
Avoid using the projector in locations prone to static electricity.
If the projector is used in a location prone to static electricity, such as on a carpet, the wireless LAN connection may be lost. If this happens, eliminate the source of static electricity or electromagnetic noise and reconnect to the wireless LAN. In rare cases static electricity or electromagnetic noise may make it impossible to establish a connection to the LAN. If this happens, press the power button on the remote control or on the projector to power off the projector temporarily. After the cooling fan stops operating (after the power monitor on the projector changes from orange to red), power on the projector and reconnect to the LAN.

Glossary

Category Item Descriptions Page
LAN Abbreviation for Local Area Network. This is a network with a relatively
narrow range such as inside a company.
Access point These are stations for relaying electromagnetic signals between
computers in a wireless LAN. When a computer is connected to an access point, it can communicate through the network connected to the access point.
MAC ADDRESS Each network card has its own ID No.
A discrete ID No. is assigned to each and every network card around the world. These IDs are used to exchange data between cards. These IDs are a combination of a discrete number managed and assigned by the IEEE to each individual manufacturer and a unique number assigned to each individual card by the manufacturer.
Common Setting of connections
IP address Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol for distributing data, and the address
corresponding to the data distribution destination is called the IP address. The same IP address cannot be used within the same LAN.
DHCP Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This function
automatically assigns IP addresses to the connected equipment. If a device with the DHCP server function is present within a LAN, it automatically assigns IP addresses to the connected equipment.
Subnetmask This limits the range of the IP addresses assigned to computers in
order to divide the network into a number of sections during TCP/IP connection. The value used to divide the network at this time is called the subnetmask.
Gateway This is a relay point for connecting different networks.
This refers to the hardware and software used when connecting a network with a network that uses a different protocol, etc. It adjusts the protocol and other differences between networks to allow connection with other networks.

This is an authentication of wireless signals employing a public key encryptosystem.
This is a secret key encryptosystem for wireless signals in which authentication is performed with a key pre-set in the WEP. Other terms for this method, in which the same key is used for both encryption and decryption, are “shared key encryptosystem” and “common key encryptosystem”.

Frequently Asked Questions (cont.)
Wireless connection is lost shortly.
• If the live mode is canceled or the connection is lost, start the reconnection procedure from the menu.
If it is still not possible to establish a connection to the LAN, power off the projector, wait for the cooling fan to stop operating (after the power monitor on the projector changes from orange to red), power the projector back on, and then start the connection procedure from the menu once again. (See page 10)
The connection cannot be established with IEEE802.11 g.
• In environments with wireless LAN adapters that support both IEEE802.11b and 802.11g, the connection may be
established via 802.11b.
• In some operating environments, the connection may be established via 802.11b, depending on the location, radio signal
conditions, distance, or other factors.
• Some wireless LAN adapters only support ad hoc connections via IEEE802.11b.
The transfer rate is slow.
• The transfer rate may be slower in some operating environments (depending on such factors as the location, radio signal
conditions or distance).
• Avoid placing metal objects or other conductors near the wireless LAN antenna of a computer, otherwise the transfer rate
may be slower.
• When WEP is set the image data is converted, so transfer takes time.
Image display is slow or animation is not displayed smoothly.
• Is the computer CPU speed slow? (See page 8)
Live mode depends largely upon the computer CPU performance.
• Adverse effects may be exerted if there is any wireless communication in the vicinity.
• When [Resolution] is set to [High Definition] in the <Option> window (See page 22), it may take longer time to display
images.
• The speed may be slower when any other applications are running concurrently.

Frequently Asked Questions (cont.)
There is a time lag between operations at the computer and results in the projected image.
• Wireless Manager ME 4.5 reads the screen, compresses the data and transmits it to the projector. In the projector, the
received data are extracted and then projected. Some delays occur in this system, due to the processing time and factors in the wireless environment. Different computers may also produce varying lag times.
The Wireless Manager ME 4.5 color display is strange and characters are difficult to read.
• Check the [Colors] setting on the [Display] tab in [System Preferences].
Set [Colors] to [Thousands] or higher. The live mode cannot be projected when set to [256 Colors].
