Projecting Wirelessly
Once you’ve started EasyMP and set up your projector and computer 
in either Ad Hoc mode or Access Point mode, follow these steps to 
start NS Connection and project wirelessly. 
1. Make sure you’ve installed your 802.11G/B wireless card in your 
projector (see page 50).
2.Windows: Select 
EMP NS Connection from the Start menu.
Macintosh OS X: Double-click the 
EMP NS Connection icon in 
your Applications folder.
3. The first time you start NS Connection, you may see a dialog box 
asking you to select your network. Select the IP address for your 
computer’s network card and click 
OK.
note
If you don’t see your network 
adapter’s IP address, allow a 
minute for it to appear. If 
your access point or AirPort 
base station uses DHCP 
(
Distribute IP addresses 
setting is enabled for 
AirPort), sometimes it takes 
a minute for the server to 
pick up the IP address.
Once you’ve selected the IP 
address for your network 
adapter, you won’t see the 
Switch network dialog 
box when you start 
NS Connection. If you want 
to change to a different 
network adapter, click 
Extension on the EMP NS 
Connection dialog box, then 
click 
Switch LAN on the 
extension dialog box.

You see the screen below. (If you have previously started NS 
Connection, this is the first screen you see.)
If the connection is working properly, you see your projector 
listed. If you have additional Epson projectors on the network, 
they are also listed, along with their status. 
The color of the status icon next to each projector’s name 
indicates its status:
■Gray: the projector is not connected
■Orange: the projector is connected to another computer
■Green: the projector is connected to your computer
If you don’t see your projector, check the following: 
■Make sure your wireless signal is strong enough to establish a 
connection. If you have a Macintosh, check the AirPort 
icon on the Macintosh menu bar. For Windows, see the 
documentation for your access point or computer network 
card. 
■Make sure you’re trying to connect to the right network. In 
Windows, verify that you’ve enabled your computer’s 
connection to the access point or that your wireless card or 
adapter is enabled, and that its SSID matches the projector’s 
ESSID. In Macintosh, check the AirPort status menu (click 
Select projector

If none of these suggestions 
work, see the troubleshooting

turned on and the projector’s ESSID or your AirPort network 
is selected. 
■Make sure you aren’t projecting one of the EasyMP 
configuration screens. (You should see a message that the 
projector is ready to connect.) If you have to exit a 
configuration screen, restart NS Connection.
■Make sure the ESSID for your projector matches the SSID 
for your wireless card, adapter, or access point. If you have an 
AirPort base station, make sure the projector’s ESSID 
matches the AirPort network name. Remember that the 
ESSID is case-sensitive.
■Check the IP address for both your projector and your 
wireless card, adapter, access point, or AirPort base station. 
The first three segments of the IP address should be identical. 
The last segment of the projector’s IP address should be close, 
but not identical, to the last segment of the IP address for 
your wireless interface, access point, or base station.
■Restart your computer and start NS Connection again.
■If you still don’t see your projector, follow the instructions in 
“Connecting in IP Connect Mode” on page 80 to connect to 
the projector. 
note
The AirPort network name 
may be different than the 
AirPort base station name. 
To check the network name, 
start the AirPort Admin 
utility, select your base 
station, and click 
Configure. Then click 
Show All Settings. The 
network name appears on 
the AirPort tab.

Connect. If more than one projector is listed, you can select 
additional ones and connect to them at the same time. If the 
selected projector is already being used by another person, you can 
still connect to it; doing so automatically disconnects the other 
user.

connecting, you see a screen like this one: 
Type in the four-digit number displayed on the EasyMP Network 
screen and click 
OK.
