Connecting in Advanced Connection Mode
1. Click Manual search on the NS Connection screen.
2. Enter the IP address or the projector name for the projector
you want to connect to, and click
OK.
The Projector is added to the EMP NS Connection screen.
If the search fails to find a projector with the specified IP
address, the searching icon turns into a question mark. If this
happens, run EasyMP on your projector (see page 10) to
check the projector’s IP address, then repeat this step.
3. Click the projector you want to connect to and click the
Connect button. If more than one projector is listed, you
can select additional projectors and connect to them at the
same time.
4. If you are prompted for a keyword, enter the four-digit
number displayed on the EasyMP Network screen and click
OK.
The computer’s image is transmitted to the projector and
appears on the screen. See page 18 for details about using the
floating control bar on your computer desktop.
Solving Other Connection Problems
If you don’t see your network adapter’s IP address, allow a
minute for it to appear. If your access point or AirPort base
station uses DHCP (
Distribute IP addresses setting is enabled
for AirPort), sometimes it takes a minute for the server to pick
up the IP address.
Once you’ve selected the IP address for your network adapter,
you won’t see the Switch network dialog box when you start NS
Connection. If you want to change to a different network
adapter, click
Extension on the EMP NS Connection dialog
box, then click
Switch LAN on the extension dialog box.
If a projector is in use and is “locked,” you won’t be able to
select it. To lock the projector from connection by other users
while you are connected, click the
Disable interrupt
connection
checkbox. De-select it to disable the lock and allow
connection by other users.
Note: If you’re using AirPort, the network name may be different
than the AirPort base station name. To check the network name,
start the AirPort Admin utility, select your base station, and click
Configure. Then click Show All Settings. The network name
appears on the AirPort tab.
Managing Projectors (PowerLite
1815p only)
The software included with your projector lets you monitor and
control your projectors from a remote computer.
Use EMP Monitor (available for Windows only) to see your
projectors’ status, switch image sources, and control basic
settings.
Use the mail notification function to receive e-mail alerts
about possible problems.
You can also use NS Connection to register up to 16 projectors
as a group. This allows you to provide quick and easy access to
these projectors from other computers.
To use the software to manage your projectors, you must first
install EMP Monitor. If you plan to create projector groups,
also install EMP NS Connection. Then connect and configure
each projector you want to monitor. You can connect the
projector wirelessly in Access Point mode (see page 13) or over a
wired network as described here.
Using EMP Monitor
EMP Monitor lets you use a remote computer to manage your
projectors, whether connected wirelessly or over a wired
network. It lets you easily turn the projectors on or off (together
or individually), switch image sources, and check their status.
Before using EMP Monitor, make sure you’ve installed the
software (available for Windows only). The computer you’re
using to monitor the projector should already be connected to
your network.
