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.

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:
■
■
Set the Wireless Network Type to Ad Hoc.
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.

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.
