5Quick Connection Mode and Advanced Connection ModeThere are two methods of connecting the projector and a computer by using wireless LAN, "Quick Connection Mode" and "Advanced Connection Mode".fQuick Connection ModeIn Quick Connection Mode the projector and a computer can be connected easily without making any complex network settings.*Use Quick Connection Mode when you want to connect quickly with a wireless LAN.Quick Connection Mode uses an ad hoc connection (computers with a common ESSID connection) to connect. You can connect to a computer equipped with either of the following.• Wireless LAN card• Computers with a built-in wireless LAN functionSee the Wireless LAN Quick Connection Guide for details on connecting using Quick Connection Mode.* In Quick Connection Mode, because the projector’s ESSID is temporarily allocated to the computer, you do not have to make any setup operations from the computer. After it has been cut off, the computer’s network settings automatically return to their original condition.fAdvanced Connection ModeIn Advanced Connection Mode, you can connect to the network system via a wireless LAN access point.Use Advanced Connection Mode when you want to connect as part of a network system and take security measures.For details on connecting using Advanced Connection Mode, see "Connecting to an Access Point with Wireless LAN" sp.21.

6Notes When Using a Wireless LANConditions for Connecting to Compatible Wireless LAN Cards and Access PointsThe supplied wireless LAN unit can be connected to the following products in accordance with IEEE 802.11g, 802.11b, and 802.11a.• Wireless LAN card• Computers with internal wireless LAN functionality• Access pointsHowever, you are unlikely to be able to make an ad hoc connection for wireless LAN equipment used with a computer in IEEE 802.11g. For details on wireless LAN equipment see the specifications.Supplied Wireless LAN Unit SpecificationsElectromagnetic Wave Safety PrecautionsBe aware of the following points when using the supplied wireless LAN unit.• May exert electromagnetic interference on, and cause malfunction of, cardiac pacemakers. Before use, ensure that electromagnetic interference does not occur.• May exert electromagnetic interference on, and cause malfunction of, sensitive medical equipment. Before use, ensure that electromagnetic interference does not occur.• Do not use near microwave ovens. Wireless communication may be interrupted by electromagnetic interference generated by microwave ovens.• Use of this product on aircraft may be restricted in some countries. Use of this product is based on due diligence with regard to regulations.Frequency PrecautionsThe frequency band for the wireless LAN card that is included with the projector is 2.4 GHz. This band is also used for industrial, scientific, and medical devices such as microwave ovens and mobile unit identification (RF-ID) systems (licenced premises radio stations and unlicenced specified low-power radio stations) used in factory production lines.Before using the wireless LAN card, check that there are not any radio stations for mobile unit identification or specified low-power radio station premises nearby. In the event that this wireless LAN card should interfere electromagnetically with the premises of a radio station used for mobile unit recognition, cease use immediately and stop generating the electromagnetic field. Contact your nearest dealer or the address provided under "International Warranty Conditions" in Safety Instructions/World-Wide Warranty Terms booklet if this wireless LAN card interferes electromagnetically with a special low-power radio station used for mobile unit identification or causes similar problems.International Travel PrecautionsWireless LAN units are based on the specifications of the country of purchase.Because wireless LAN units are designed to conform to the channel and frequency limits of the country they are intended to be used in, the included wireless LAN unit may infringe upon the laws or regulations of other countries if used outside the country of purchase.Frequency Range 2.4 GHz band, 5GHz band.Modulation 802.11b : DS-SS802.11a/g : OFDMPotential Interference RangeLess than 20 mPropriety of frequency changeCan use all bands, and can avoid "licensed" and "unlicensed" bands.

Notes When Using a Wireless LAN 7Wireless Telegraphy Act RegulationsThe following acts are prohibited by the Wireless Telegraphy Act.• Modifying and disassembling (including the antenna)• Removing the label of conformance• 802.11a (5 GHz band) external useNotes on Security when Using Wireless LANs(Important information on customer rights (maintaining privacy))Because wireless LANs use electromagnetic signals instead of a LAN cable to send and receive data, they have the advantage of allowing a device to connect to the network easily as long as they are within range to receive the signals.A disadvantage of this is that within a certain range, the electromagnetic signals can pass through barriers such as walls, so that if security countermeasures are not implemented in some way, problems such as the following may occur.• Communicated data can be interceptedA third party may be able to receive wireless transmissions without authorisation, and they could obtain personal information from these transmissions such as IDs, passwords or credit card numbers, or they could intercept the contents of personal e-mail messages.• Unauthorised access to the networkA third party could access an individual or intra-company network without permission and carry out any of the following activities.• Retrieve personal data or other secret information (information leakage)• Pose as another user and send inappropriate data (impersonation)• Overwrite the contents of intercepted data and resend it (falsification)• Introduce a computer virus which could cause data loss or system crashes (damage)Initially, the possibility that such problems could occur through settings concerning the security of the wireless LAN product and by using the product are decreased, because the wireless LAN card and the access point have security measures to deal with these problems.For the wireless LAN equipment, settings concerning security may not be set at the time of purchase.Therefore, to decrease the possibility of security risks occurring, make sure you follow the instructions in this manual to make the security settings before using the wireless LAN card and wireless LAN access point.Make sure you understand these security settings fully before using because the security setup can sometimes be bypassed by using a special method of the wireless LAN specifications.Security settings for this product, see s"Wireless LAN Security Countermeasures" p.43Contact the information centre for help making the security settings.We recommend that you use this product after making security settings using your own judgment and assuming full responsibility, and with your full understanding of problems that may occur if you do not make any security settings.

43Wireless LAN Security CountermeasuresOne of the advantages of using wireless LAN is that it is possible to communicate easily if you are within the range of the electromagnetic waves, because with wireless LAN data is exchanged through electromagnetic waves.On the other hand, since electromagnetic waves extend through obstacles such as walls, the content of the communication can be intercepted, and the network can be breached without using any special tools if security is not set.To prevent these problems, the following security functions have been provided.• Data encryptionEncode and transmit data. Even if data is intercepted, it cannot be deciphered.• Connection limitation (Authentication)A users name and a password are registered in advance, which means that only the registered wireless port can connect to the network and prevents unauthorized third parties from connecting to the network.• FirewallPrevents unauthorized computer access by closing ports that are not used.The security functions that can be used with this projector vary depending on the connection mode of the wireless LAN.Use the firewall function provided with your OS.The security functions that can be used with this projector vary depending on the connection mode of the wireless LAN.* Only effective when the access point for the connection destination support the same function.Using Encrypted CommunicationYou can specify whether or not to encrypt communication.AClick the "Set options" button on the main screen.The Set options screen is displayed.BClick the "General Settings" tab.For Quick Connection ModeEncrypted communication sp.19For Advanced Connection Mode*Encrypted communication sp.19WEP, WPA-PSK (TKIP), WPA-PSK (AES), EAPTLS, EAP-TTLS/MD5, EAP-TTLS/MS-CHAPv2, PEAP/MS-CHAPv2, PEAP/GTC, LEAP, EAP-Fast/MS-CHAPv2, EAP-FAST/GTC sp.26Procedure

Wireless LAN Security Countermeasures 44CSelect the "Encrypt communications" checkbox.DClick the "OK" button.Setting the Encryption Method and the Authentication Method in Wireless LAN Advanced Connection ModeWhen connecting and communicating in wireless LAN mode, you can select one of the following encryption and authentication methods.•WEPData is encrypted with a code key (WEP key)This mechanism prevents communication unless the encrypted keys for the access point and the projector match.•WPAThis is an encryption standard that improves security which is a weak point of WEP. Although there are several kinds of WPA encryption methods, this projector uses "TKIPg". TKIP uses PSK to automatically update the encryption key at regular fixed intervals, which makes it harder to break compared to WEP which uses a constant encryption key.WPA also includes user authentication functions. WPA authentication provides two methods: using an authentication server, or authenticating between a computer and an access point without a server. This projector supports the latter method, without a server.•EAPEAP is a client that uses a protocol to communicate between authentication servers. There is EAP-TLS which uses electronic certification for user authentication, LEAP which uses user ID and password, and EAP-TTLS and so on.System Authentication NotesEAP-TLS Electronic certification, CA certificationEAP-TTLS User ID, Password Funk Software CompanyPEAP/MS-CHAPv2User ID, Password Microsoft CorporationPEAP/EAP-GTCUser ID, Password Cisco Systems CompanyLEAP User ID, Password Cisco Systems Company

Wireless LAN Security Countermeasures 45Make security settings from network settings on the projector’s configuration menu. sp.26Registering an Electronic Certificate and a CA CertificateUse the following method to register an electronic certificate and a CA certificate to the projector. You can register an electronic certificate and a CA certificate to the projector. This certificate is used with EAP-TLS.q• For setting details, follow the directions from the network administrator for your network.• If using EAP, you need to make settings at the projector that match the authentication server settings. Check with your network administrator for details on RADIUS settings.• You can use a web browser to access a browser page for setting and controlling the projector,and you can make the network settings on that browser page (Web control). This is useful as you can use the keyboard to enter setting values when using Web control. sp.51

96GlossaryThis section explains easily terms that are used with the projector and difficult terms that are not explained in the text of this guide. For details, refer to other commercially available publications.Ad hoc A method of wireless LAN connection that communicates with wireless LAN clients without using an access point. It is not possible to communicate with two or more devices simultaneously.Authentication server A server to perform user authentication. When an authentication server is used, user information management and user authentication operations are unified. Also, because the authentication server often provides an advanced authentication method, it is also effective as a security countermeasure.Channel Communication speeds drop if there are too many devices performing wireless communication by using the same frequency. In this case, interference from other wireless LANs can be avoided by setting a different wireless channel for each wireless LAN network.DHCP An abbreviation of Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, this protocol automatically assigns an IP addressg to equipment connected to a network.DPOF An abbreviation of Digital Print Order Format, this is a format for recording information (photos that you want to print, number of copies, and so on) to print photos taken with a digital camera in recording media such as memory cards.DVI An abbreviation of Digital Visual Interface, this is the standard by which video signals are transmitted digitally.DVI is the standard not only for computers, but also for digital home appliances to be able to transfer images with a resolution greater than DFP, and there is also an encryption function in the digital signal.ESSID ESS is an abbreviation of Extended Service Set (enhanced service set). ESSID is an identification number for connecting with a counterpart on a wireless LAN. Wireless communication is possible between devices that correspond to ESSID.Gateway This is a server (router) for communicating across a network (subnet) divided according to subnet masks.IP address A number to identify a computer connected to a network.MAC address An abbreviation of Media Access Control.The MAC address is an ID number unique to each network adaptor. A unique number is assigned to each network adaptor, and data is transmitted between network adaptors based on this identification.NDIS An abbreviation of Network Driver Interface Specification, this is the standard specification of network drivers to use network cards such as wireless LAN cards set by the Microsoft Company and so on. It provides communication protocols for OS, software, and drivers to communicate, as well as communication protocol regulations for drivers and network cards.RADIUS Server "RADIUS" is an abbreviation of Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, this is a protocol that starts wireless LAN and is used for authentication by a variety of network services. A RADIUS server with an authentication serverg that uses RADIUS performs authentication for access to a wireless LAN access point with information such as user name and password.
