9. Network centric operations
The network centric projector may be configured in the same way as a standard PC to support :
- SNMP service : provides diagnostics, basic control via SNMP messaging
- Microsoft Exchange services: for scheduling of projector tasks.
- Web client : offers an alternative to the Client software through a user-friendly internet based
interface (includes almost the same features as the Client software)
See the Appendix “General guidelines on Network configuration” for general guidelines on how to enable
these services.
