Using the Projector on a 
Network
This chapter tells you how to prepare to send images to your 
projector through a wired or wireless network. 
Using EasyMP Network Projection, you can project images shown on 
your computer screen—including text, graphics, and video—directly 
to your audience. See the EasyMP Network Projection Operation Guide 
for information on features and use. 
You can use EasyMP Monitor (available for Windows only) to 
monitor and control your projector through the network. For 
information on installing and using EasyMP Monitor, see the EasyMP 
Monitor Operation Guide.
You’ll find instructions in this chapter on:
■Connecting the projector to a wired LAN
■Installing the optional wireless LAN module
■Using Quick Wireless Connection
■Configuring projector and network settings
■Using wireless security options
■Sending e-mail alerts and monitoring the projector
■Using a browser to control the projector
For wireless connection, make sure you’ve installed the optional 
wireless LAN module, as described on page 89. Then follow the steps 
in this chapter to use Quick Wireless Connection (Windows only) or 
configure your projector and network. See the EasyMP Network 
note
