5. Using the Projector via a Network

Connecting the Projector to a Network

To connect the projector to a network, you must specify network settings such as an IP address. The required settings differ depending on the network environment and how you use the projector.

You can configure the required settings easily by using Network Setting Wizard. For details about how

to open Network Setting Wizard, see page 67 "Opening Network Setting Wizard".

To connect to a wired LAN

Connect an Ethernet cable to the projector, and then configure the network settings in [Wired LAN] on Network Setting Wizard. For details about how to configure the wired LAN network settings,

see page 67 "Configuring the Wired LAN Settings".

To connect to a wireless LAN in infrastructure mode

In infrastructure mode, the projector can communicate with networks in which both wireless and wired LAN devices are connected via a wireless LAN access terminal. It is necessary to user greater security since all communication is via a network. Use infrastructure mode in environments in which a wireless LAN has already been configured.

Configure the network settings in [Wireless LAN (Infrastructure)] on Network Setting Wizard. The setting method differs depending on the network environment.

• Configuring the settings by Simple Wireless LAN Setup

If the access point is compliant with the simple wireless LAN setup function, you can configure the network settings easily. This function acquires the wireless LAN settings registered in the access point, and configures those settings for the projector automatically. You can configure the settings without entering the SSID and the network key manually. For details, see

page 68 "Configuring the settings by Simple Wireless LAN Setup".

• Configuring the settings manually

You can configure the network settings by selecting the network to connect to from the available network list. Up to 10 networks are displayed in the list in radio field intensity order.

If you want to connect to a network that is not displayed in the list or is not broadcasting its

SSID, enter the SSID manually. For details, see page 70 "Configuring the settings manually".

To connect to a wireless LAN in ad hoc mode

In ad hoc mode, the projector can communicate with the computer directly, and not via an access point. No other equipment is required, so this mode is suited for locations that have no network environment. As the radio wave range is limited, use an office or conference room with a good line of sight.

Configure the network settings in [Wireless LAN (Adhoc)] on Network Setting Wizard. For details

about how to configure the network settings for a wireless LAN in ad hoc mode, see page 71

"Configuring the Wireless LAN Settings for Ad Hoc Mode".


• If your wireless LAN access point uses WPA/WPA2-EAP as the authentication method, you must set the current date and time and the time zone of the location where the projector is installed. For

details, see page 120 "Default Settings 2 Menu".

Opening Network Setting Wizard

You can open Network Setting Wizard on the menu screen.

• If you configure both wired and wireless LAN settings using the Network Setting Wizard and your wireless LAN access point uses WPA/WPA2-EAP as the authentication method, it is recommended that you configure the wired LAN settings first.
