one of the following:
■

Windows: select EMP NS Connection from the Start menu.

■

Macintosh: double-click the EMP NS Connection icon in
your Applications folder.

Bernslip.fm Page 7 Friday, December 12, 2003 3:02 PM

The first time you start NS Connection in Windows, you see a
window asking you to select your network.

note
If you don’t see your network
adapter’s IP address, allow a

your access point uses
DHCP, sometimes it takes a
minute for the server to pick
up the IP address.

2. Select the IP address for your computer’s network adapter card
and click OK.
You see the screen below. (If you have previously started NS
Connection, or you’re using a Macintosh, this is the first screen

Bernslip.fm Page 8 Friday, December 12, 2003 3:02 PM

note
The status icon colors may
be easier to see on the
projected image than on the
computer.

The color of the status icon indicates the projector’s status:
■

Gray: the projector is not connected

3. If you don’t see your projector, check the following:

note
If you want your
presentation encrypted,
click Extension and select
Use encrypted
communication.

This step enhances security
but decreases the data
transmission speed.

■

Make sure your wireless signal is strong enough to establish a

You can register projectors as a group if you want to provide quick and
easy access to other computers. You can also export or import group
information as a file to another computer. Projectors must be
connected to the network in Access Point mode, and must be on the
same network segment as the computer used to create the group, or
the computers that import or export group information.

Creating a Group
You can register up to 16 projectors as a group, and all projectors must
be part of your wireless network.

The body of the message contains:
■

the name of the projector

■

the projector’s IP address

■

a description of the problem

The problem descriptions are similar to the errors reported by EMP
Monitor:
■

Internal problem

■

Fan-related problem

■

Sensor problem

■

Lamp timer failure

■

Lamp burned out

■

Lamp cover open

■

Overheating (projection turned off automatically)
