Using the Network

Before setting the network

This section explains items that can be set in a network. A wireless connection will not be possible if these items are not set correctly. Also, as there are values that must be entered in a pre-configured wireless network, make sure to consult with your network administrator.

IP Address

■ What is an IP Address?

The IP Address is a number for identifying devices connected to the network. An IP address must be assigned to each device using network values.

Connecting the projector and a computer via a wireless connection is the same as the computer and projector being connected to a wireless LAN network. Therefore, if the projector (and computer) is not assigned an IP address, they cannot be identified and thus a wireless connection cannot be possible.

192.168.150.151

192.168.150.150

192.168.150.152

■ Assigning IP addresses

When creating a local network where the projector and a computer are connected in a wireless environment,

192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254 can be assigned as the IP addresses for a local network for the devices connected to that network. The IP address of the projector is 192.168.0.1 and as long as there are no conflicts, the default settings do not have to be changed.

Example

• Projector ................192.168.150.150

• Computer (no. 1) ...192.168.150.151

• Computer (no. 2) ...192.168.150.152

For settings, see page 70.

This projector comes with a DHCP server function that automatically assigns IP addresses to devices connected to the network. For details, see page 73.

192.168.150.153

192.168.150.154

Note

• The range of IP addresses that can be assigned in a local network is fixed.

• IP stands for Internet Protocol.

DHCP server function

■ What is a DHCP server function?

The DHCP server function automatically assigns IP addresses to devices connected to the network. When the Network Settings on the computer have been set to Automatically get IP address (DHCP server enabled), the projector will automatically assign IP addresses.

192.168.150.152

192.168.150.153

192.168.150.151

192.168.150.154

Make the following settings when using this function

1Set the DHCP server function on the projector to ON. 2Set the start value of the IP address assigned and an expected number of IP address to be automati-

cally assigned (Maximum number to be assigned).

For settings, see page 73.

Note

• DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.

Wireless Channels

■ What is a wireless channel?

A wireless channel is a frequency used by wireless LAN PC cards when communicating. For IEEE802.11b standard, 14 channels can be used. If other wireless LAN networks are being used near the location where the projector is, make sure that different channels have been set to avoid interference.

■ Assigned wireless channels

If there are no other networks that can cause interference nearby, set either 1, 6, or 11. If there are no interferences on 11 channel settings, you do not have to change the default settings.

For settings, see page 71.

Wireless LAN PC Card: Troubleshooting

Check the following if you cannot connect to the network using your wireless LAN PC card.

1. Is the Link indicator of the wireless LAN PC card lit?

• Lit: operating normally.

• Flashing: the wireless LAN PC card is not operating properly. Consult with your nearest dealer.

• Off: The card is not in operation. Make sure that the card is installed correctly.

2. Are the SSID and channel settings of the projector and computer the same?

• If the SSID and channel settings of the computer are not the same, then they cannot communicate.

• Make sure that the transmission mode has been set to 802.11 ad hoc mode.

3. Check the projector and computer network settings.

● When the “DHCP Server” on the projector is “OFF”: Check again the IP address, subnet mask and gateway values of the projector and computer.

● When the “DHCP Server” on the projector is ON: Check the values of the IP address, subnet mask and DHCP start address of the projector.

If part of the IP address or DHCP start address is not identical to the ones specified in the subnet mask, IP address assigning cannot be properly done.
