Setting Up the Projector
To set up the projector for wired network access
You can connect the projector to a network. This action enables you and other
presenters to connect to the projector over the network.
1. Plug a CAT5 or equivalent network cable into the LAN port on the back of
the module. Connect the other end to the local network.
2. Turn on the projector. The left indicator light on the network port turns on
showing a 10- or 100-Mb/s connection. The light on the right shows network
activity.
The projector normally attempts to get an IP address from a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
3. If you want to view or change the projector’s TCP/IP network configuration,
open the on-screen menu and select Setup > Network. If the network is not
using a DHCP server, talk to your network administrator to find the correct
TCP/IP network settings.
Complete network information is shown in the on-screen menu under Help >
About the network.
4. On a networked computer, open Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, enter
the IP address of the projector into the URL bar, and press the Enter key.
5. In the browser, go to Networking > Wireless Presenter. Enter a projector name
to identify the projector for network presenters. You can also enter a projector
password that presenters must provide when they connect.

Setting Up the Projector
1. Turn on the projector.
2. Open the on-screen menu. The projector’s wired IP address is displayed at
the bottom of the on-screen menu.
Complete wired and wireless network information is shown in the on-screen menu
under Help > About the network.
3. On a networked computer, open Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator, enter
the IP address of the projector into the URL bar, and press the Enter key. Use the
IP address for the wired network connection when setting the wireless
configuration.
4. In the browser, go to Networking > Wireless Settings.
5. For an Ad Hoc connection, set the following properties:
■
■

Specify the desired Network ID (SSID) (sometimes called Service Set
Identifier), and encryption options.
For an Infrastructure connection, set the following properties as specified by
the network administrator:
■
■
Set the Wireless Network Type to Infrastructure.

access point.
■
If the network is using a DHCP server, set IP Configuration Method to DHCP.
If it is not using a DHCP server, talk to your network administrator to find
the correct TCP/IP network settings.
If you enable encryption, the encryption key will be sent to the projector over the
current network connection, which is not secure. For increased protection, set the
encryption key only while using a wired network connection. The most secure
connection is a direct connection to the computer using a cross-wired network cable.
✎
6. Click Apply to activate settings. If you lose your network connection as the
projector updates its settings, repeat step 3.
7. Go to Networking > Wireless Presenter. Enter a projector name to identify the
projector for network presenters. You can also enter a projector password that
presenters must provide when they connect.
