Quick Connection Mode and Advanced Connection Mode
There are two methods of connecting the projector and a computer by
using wireless LAN, "Quick Connection Mode" and "Advanced
Connection Mode".
fQuick Connection Mode
In 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 function
See 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 Mode
In 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.

Notes When Using a Wireless LAN
Conditions for Connecting to Compatible Wireless
LAN Cards and Access Points
The 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 points
However, 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 Specifications
Electromagnetic Wave Safety Precautions
Be 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 Precautions
The 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 Precautions
Wireless 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-SS
802.11a/g : OFDM
Potential Interference

Can use all bands, and can avoid "licensed" and
"unlicensed" bands.
Notes When Using a Wireless LAN 7
Wireless Telegraphy Act Regulations
The 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 use
Notes 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 intercepted
A 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 network
A 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.43
Contact 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.

Wireless LAN Security Countermeasures
One 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 encryption
Encode 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.
• Firewall
Prevents 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.

DClick the "OK" button.
Setting the Encryption Method and the
Authentication Method in Wireless LAN Advanced
Connection Mode
When connecting and communicating in wireless LAN mode, you can
select one of the following encryption and authentication methods.
•WEP
Data is encrypted with a code key (WEP key)
This mechanism prevents communication unless the encrypted keys for
the access point and the projector match.
•WPA
This 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.
•EAP
EAP 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.

Use 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.

Scenario Summary
A scenario is a combination of PowerPoint, image, and movie files,
arranged in a projection order and saved as a single file, created with
EMP SlideMaker2.
Making a scenario allows you to easily and efficiently prepare
presentation material by extracting the necessary parts of files, and
arranging them in order without editing the original files.
The created scenarios are sent to a USB storage device that is
connected to a computer. The USB storage device is then connected
to the computer and you can use the projector’s PC Free to project the
scenario.
For Connection of USB storage devices sQuick Start Guide
qEMP SlideMaker2 should be installed into the computer.

Glossary
This 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. When a RADIUS server is
used, user information does not need to be individually registered for each access point even when there are multiple wireless LAN access
points, and the access point and the users can be controlled.
SNMP An abbreviation for Simple Network Management Protocol, this is the protocol for monitoring and controlling devices such as routers
and computers connected to a TCP/IP network.
Subnet mask This is a numerical value that defines the number of bits used for the network address on a divided network (subnet) from the IP address.
SNMP Trap IP address This is the IP addressg for the destination computer used for error notification in SNMP
