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.
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.

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.

If you lose or forget your keycode, you will need to contact your nearest Sharp Authorized Projector Dealer or Service Center (see page 118). You may need to bring your projector to them to restore the projector to original factory condition (password and keycode reset).
If the Anti-theft function is set using the
buttons of the GyroRemote as the keycodes and you loose the GyroRemote, you will not be able to re­lease the Anti-theft function. In case you loose the GyroRemote, contact your nearest repair center.
If you travel with your projector without
your GyroRemote, you will not be able to unlock the Anti-Theft keycode. Therefore, we recommend you use the projector buttons to lock/ unlock the Anti­Theft keycode.
