Computer settings

Refer to instruction manuals of your computer or wireless LAN PC card to perform the
following settings.

Select

Ad hoc

(for some PC cards, this is

Peer-to-Peer Group

).

[

Channel

] : You may need to set channels depending on the wireless LAN PC card being

used. Make the [

Channel

] settings identical to the computer settings.

Set

SSID

(for some types of PC card, use

Network name

instead) as the same as

projector’s

SSID

(at factory shipment, this is set to

TDPJ

).

If

Encryption

and

WEP key

are set on the projector, set to the same values.

Note

The Easy Connect utility

p.70

allows users to easily connect the projector to a computer

over wireless networks, without making network setting. For Easy Connect support, the
computer requires a wireless LAN environment that is NDIS5.1 compliant.
Refer to the user’s manual supplied with the wireless LAN adapter or the wireless LAN
embedded computer for more information.

Setting up the wireless LAN (Continued)

The higher the number of bits, the stronger the encryption, and hence the harder it will
be for a third party to decipher your communications. However, setting higher encryp-
tion levels may slow down communication speed. To set the highest security level,
specify a

128-bit

WEP key. For higher security, avoid using a word found in a dictionary

and change the key sometimes.

Set the following item if you have set the communication mode to Infrastructure.

<

DHCP

>

If you set

DHCP

to

Use

, the IP address of the projector is assigned automatically by the

DHCP server. If your network environment does not assign IP addresses automatically,
set

DHCP

to

Not use

, then set the following items

IP address

,

Subnet mask

and

Gateway

manually.

<

IP address

>

When

DHCP

is set to

Not use

, consult with your network administrator for the settings

below and set the

IP address

manually.

An IP address is a unique number assigned to a terminal. The format is a string of four
dot-separated three-digit numbers. (Example: 111.112.xxx.xxx)

<

Subnet mask

>

A subnet mask is used to determine what subnet the IP address assigned to a terminal
belongs to. (Example: 255.255.xxx.xxx)
<

Gateway

>

This value specifies the device, such as a router, to be used to access servers outside
the network. It is identified by the IP address. (Example: 111.112.xxx.xxx)

[Setting initialization]

This item resets the wireless LAN settings to their factory defaults.

[Projector name]

This can be used to identify projectors when communicating with multiple projectors, or
if there is a possibility that another person who is out of communication range will be
using the same projector. It is recommended this is set to prevent wrong transmission.

Note

• You need to set a different projector name from that used in the item

Wired LAN

of

the

Control setting

menu.
