1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Congratulation on Your Purchase of the Wireless
Presentation Gateway
The Wireless Presentation Gateway features state of the art technology that
helps bring wireless capability to a conventional projector. You can now
access the projector through a wireless network effortlessly without being
constrained by the physical layout of a wired connection.
The Wireless Presentation Gateway allows for multiple dynamic wireless
connections from several PCs. The benefit of using Wireless Presentation
Gateway is therefore enormous. Image -- a user can join an ongoing
presentation session at any time and wait for his turn to do a short
presentation over the projector. When presentation is no longer required, he
can simply log off and leave the presentation group without much disturbance.
WPG11 is therefore, your perfect option for a company conference, and other
occasions (many people)

5. Troubleshooting
There is no EPS11 Client Utility on your PC
Please insert the Installation Disc of EPS11 and click the Setup button.
The Installation Wizard should automatically install the client utility and
place a shortcut on your desktop. Double-click this shortcut to begin
desktop image presentation.
Clients Cannot Find the EPS11
Please check if the wireless device in your PC or Notebook is active, pull
and plug your wireless device, and then run the EPS11 client utility to
search for the EPS11 again. If the EPS11 still cannot be found, please
configure your network based on the setting shown on the EPS11’s
welcome screen. (Of course they must be in the same subnet and their IP
addresses must be different.) After reconfiguring your network, run the
EPS11 client utility again.
Desktop Image Not Displayed on Projector
Check if the VGA cable firmly connects EPS11 and the projector. If the
configuration status of the client’s EPS11 connection software is lit green
but nothing is being displayed on the projector, try to verify if the projector
is still functioning. The situation may also happen when the wireless
connection quality becomes very poor. Try to reconnect the EPS11 in Ad-
Hoc mode (You may select the option in the first dialog of EPS11 client
utility) or change the position of the EPS11 to achieve a better wireless
network connection quality.
Image Displaying is too Slow
Try to reconnect the EPS11 in Ad-Hoc mode (You may select this option in
the first dialog of the EPS11 client utility) or change the position of the
EPS11 to achieve a better wireless connection quality. In addition, change
the display mode to High Speed (EPS11 client’s software will downgrade
color automatically, and there is no need to adjust your monitor’s
displaying mode) and it should greatly improve the displaying performance.
