Understanding the Notification 
Messages
If a projector experiences a problem, it sends an e-mail message to 
each of the addresses you provided using EMP NetworkManager. The 
message includes “Epson Projector” in the subject line. 
The body of the message contains:
■The name of the projector
■The projector’s IP address
■A description of the problem 
The problem descriptions are similar to the errors reported by 
EMP Monitor listed on page 127. 
If a plus (+) sign appears, it indicates that a problem has occurred. A 
minus (–) sign appears when the problem is resolved. 
note
If a projector develops a 
critical problem, it may not 
be possible for it to report the 
error.

Using a Browser to Monitor Projectors
If your projectors are connected to a network (802.11g or 802.11b 
wireless or wired LAN), you can use a standard web browser to 
monitor and control each one. 
1. Make sure the Epson 802.11g wireless card is inserted in the 
projector’s card slot and the projector is configured for Access 
Point mode, as described on page 59.
2. Open the web browser and enter the IP address of the projector 
you want to monitor in the browser window. 
If you’re not sure what address the projector is using, turn it on 
and switch it to EasyMP. Then choose 
Basic under Wired LAN 
or Wireless LAN and press 
Enter. You see a screen like this, 
which shows you the IP address:
3. If you’re connected over a wired network, the projector’s web 
screen opens in the browser window, as shown below.
note
You can’t use your 
browser to monitor 
projectors if it is set up to 
connect via a proxy server.
If you are using Microsoft 
Internet Explorer, use 
version 6.0 or later. 
The projector must be 
plugged in (projecting or 
in standby mode) for you 
to be able to monitor it. 
To access a projector in 
standby mode, you must 
select 
Network ON as the 
Standby Mode setting in 
the projector’s menu 
system (see page 120.)
Remember that when 
Standby Mode is set to 
Network ON, the 
exhaust fan continues to 
operate after the projector 
enters standby mode. 
						

							Managing Projectors133
If you’re connected over an 802.11g wireless network, start 
NS Connection (see page 74) and connect to the projector you 
want to monitor. Then click   on the control bar that appears 
on the screen. The projector’s web screen opens in the browser 
window.
4. Select one of the menu options listed on the left, then change any 
settings as needed in the main part of the screen. These settings 
correspond to those found in the projector’s menu system; for 
details, see page 108.
5. Use the controls at the bottom of the screen just as you would the 
corresponding remote control buttons: choose a source, stop the 
action, control the volume, size the image, turn off the picture 
and sound, or turn the projector’s power on or off.
For details about the remote control, see page 30.

Using Projector Groups
You can register projectors as a group if you want to provide quick and 
easy access to other computers. You can also export or import group 
information as a file to another computer. Projectors must be 
connected to the network in Access Point mode, and must be on the 
same network segment as the computer used to create the group, or 
the computers that import or export group information.
Creating a Group
You can register up to 16 projectors as a group, and all projectors must 
be part of your wireless network.
1. Start NS Connection. (See page 74.)
2. Click the 
Extension button on the EMP NS Connection screen. 
You see this screen:
3. Select 
Use IP connect mode and Use Group List. 
tip
Use a static IP address when 
configuring a projector for 
the network if you plan to 
use it in a group. If you use 
DHCP, the projector’s IP 
address will change every 
time you turn it off and on 
again, and you will have to 
recreate the projector group.
If any of the octets in a static 
IP address are less than 100, 
the first digit of the octet 
should be zero (0).
Select these 
two boxes
