Tasks that can be done using EasyMP Monitor
Tasks that can be done using EasyMP Monitor
EasyMP Monitor lets you carry out operations such as checking the status of multiple EPSON projectors that are connected to a network and controlling the projectors from the computer.
Following are brief descriptions of the monitoring and control functions that can be carried out using EasyMP Monitor.
•
Registering projectors for monitoring and control
Projectors on the network can be searched for automatically, and you can then select projectors to be registered from the projectors that are detected.
You can enter the IP addresses for target projectors to register them.
•
Registered projectors can also be assigned to groups so that they can be monitored and controlled in groups.
•
Monitoring the statuses of registered projectors
The power status (ON/OFF) for projectors and problems or warnings requiring attention can be checked visually by means of icons.
You can select groups of projectors or a single projector that you are interested in, and then check the cumulative lamp operating time or the details of information such as input sources, problems, and warnings for these projectors.
•
Controlling registered projectors
Projectors can be selected in groups or as single projectors, and you can then carry out operations for the selected projectors such as turning the power on and off and switching their input sources.
Web control functions can be used to change the settings in the projector's configuration menu.
If there are certain control actions which are carried out regularly at particular times or on particular days, you can use Timer Settings to register timer settings.
6
•
Mail notification function settings
You can set e-mail addresses to which notifications are sent if a status requiring attention, such as a problem, occurs with a projector that has been registered.
•
Sending messages to registered projectors
You can send JPEG files to the registered projectors at once by using
Message Broadcasting, which is a plug-in software for EasyMP
Monitor.
Message Broadcasting is not available for all projector models. For compatibility information, and to download the software and manual, visit www.epson.com
, select your location, and select your product.
