[About IP address]
■ Setting manually
The Network address portion of the IP address setting on your computer must 
be the same as the setting on the projector. Also, the entire IP address on the 
computer must not overlap with that of the other devices on the same net\
work, 
including the projector.
The projector’s settings are as follows. IP address: 192.168.1.254
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
(Network address: 192.168.1 in this case)
Therefore, specify the computer’s IP address as follows. IP address: 192.168.1.xxx (xxx shows decimal number.)
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
(Network address: 192.168.1 in this case)
For example 
Select from 1 to 254 for “xxx” not duplicating with any other equipments. 
In this case, since the IP address of the projector is “192.168.1.254”, specify a 
setting between 1 to 253 for the computer.
• “0.0.0.0” cannot be set to the IP address.
• The projector’s IP address can be changed by using the configuration utility 
via a web browser. (
&21)
• If the projector and the computer exist in the same network (i.e., same 
network address), you can leave the default gateway field blank.
• When the projector and the computer exist in different networks, the default 
gateway must be set. Consult to the network administrator in detail. NOTE
■ Setting automatically
When a DHCP server exists in the connected network, it is possible to assign an 
IP address to the projector and computer automatically.
*   DHCP is abbreviation for “Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol” and has the 
function to provide necessary setting for network like IP address from server to 
client. A server that has DHCP function is called DHCP server.

1.4 Manual network connection setting - Wireless LAN -
Using the designated USB wireless adapter (option) on the projector enables the 
projector and computer to communicate in both the Ad-Hoc and Infrastructure 
modes.
This section is intended to explain how to set up wireless LAN connection 
manually.
1.4.1 Preparation for wireless LAN connection
*   Ad-Hoc is one of the wireless LAN communication methods without having 
access point to communicate.
*   Infrastructure is one of the wireless LAN communication methods with having 
access point to communicate. If certain quantities of equipments are used, this 
mode is efficient.  
If communicating with existing network, consult to your network administ\
rator.
Fig. 1.4.1.a Without an access point communication (Ad-Hoc)
      Fig. 1.4.1.b With an access point communication (Infrastructure)\
First, insert the USB wireless adapter into one of the  USB TYPE A ports.
 (
& Connecting with your devices  in the Operating Guide) 
Then, set up the computer for wireless communication.
When the computer comes with a built-in IEEE802.11b/g/n wireless LAN device, 
enable it and disable other network connections. If a wireless LAN device is not 
built into the computer, connect an IEEE802.11b/g/n wireless LAN device and 
install the device driver. For details, refer to the user's guide for the computer and 
wireless LAN device.
