							About  EasyMP  Monitor
EasyMP  Monitor  lets  you  carry  out  operations  such  as  checking  the  status
of  multiple  Epson  projectors  that  are  connected  to  a  network  at  a  computer
monitor,  and  controlling  the  projectors  from  the  computer.
You  can  download  EasyMP  Monitor  from  the  following  Web  site.
http://www.epson.com
The  following  provides  brief  descriptions  of  the  monitoring  and  control
functions  that  can  be  carried  out  using  EasyMP  Monitor.
•Registering  projectors  for  monitoring  and  control
Projectors  on  the  network  can  be  searched  for  automatically,  and  you  can
then  select  which  projectors  you  want  to  register  from  the  projectors  that
are  detected.
You  can  register  target  projectors  by  entering  their  IP  addresses.
•Registered  projectors  can  also  be  assigned  to  groups  so  that  they  can
be monitored and controlled in groups.
•Monitoring  the  status  of  registered  projectors
You  can  check  the  power  status  (ON/OFF)  for  projectors  and  problems  or
warnings  that  require  attention  by  using  the  icons.
You  can  select  groups  of  projectors  or  a  single  projector  and  then  check
the  cumulative  lamp  operating  time  or information  such  as  input  sources,
problems,  and  warnings  for  the  projectors.
•Controlling  registered  projectors
Projectors  can  be  selected  in  groups  or  as  single  projectors,  and  you  can
then  carry  out  operations  for  the  selected  projectors  such  as  turning  the
power  on  and  off  and  switching  their  input  sources.
You  can  use  Web  Control  functions  to  change  the  settings  in  the
projector's  configuration  menu.
If  there  are  certain  control  actions  which  are  carried  out  regularly  at
particular  times  or  on  particular days,  you  can  use  Timer  Settings  to
register  timer  settings.•Mail  Notification  settings
You  can  set  e-mail  addresses  to  which  notifications  are  sent  if  a  status
that  requires  attention,  such  as  a  problem,  occurs  with  a  registered
projector.
•Sending  messages  to  registered  projectors
You  can  use  the  Message  Broadcasting  plugin  for  EasyMP  Monitor  to
send  JPEG  files  to  registered  projectors.
Download  the  Message  Broadcasting  plugin  from  the  Web  site  address
provided  at  the  beginning  of  this  chapter.

Control)
By  using  a  Web  browser  of  a  computer  connected  to  the  projector  on  a
network,  you  can  make  settings  and  control  the  projector.  This  function
allows  you  to  perform  setup  and  control  operations  remotely.  In  addition,
since  you  can  use  the  computer's  keyboard,  entering  characters  required  for
the  setup  is  easier.
Use  Microsoft  Internet  Explorer  6.0  or  later  as  the  Web  browser.  If  using  a
Mac  OS,  use  Safari  or  Firefox.a
If  you  set  Standby  Mode to  Communication  On,  you  can  use  a  Web
browser  to  make  settings  and  perform  control  even  if  the  projector  is
in  standby  mode  (when  the  power  is  off).
