Controlling Multiple Projectors
If you’re using more than one projector for your presentation, you can 
switch between them using a single remote control. To do this, you 
need to set a different ID for each projector. During the presentation, 
you can change the remote control’s ID to match that of the projector 
you want to use. 
Setting the Projector ID
The projector’s default ID is 1. Follow these steps to change it:
1. Press the 
Menu button on the remote control.
You see the projector’s menu screen. 
2. Select the 
Extended menu and press Enter. 
3. Highlight 
Projector ID and press Enter.
4. Choose an ID value for the projector and press 
Enter.
5. When you’re done, press 
Esc to exit the menu system. 
note
By default, the remote 
control’s ID is set to zero, 
which allows it to control 
any projector. If you want to 
control multiple projectors 
simultaneously, and you 
don’t want to switch 
between them (each 
projector would need its own 
screen), you can leave the 
remote control’s ID set to 
zero.

these steps:
1. Press the 
ID button on the remote control. You see it light.

the ID of the projector you want to operate. 
The

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 each time you want to switch projectors.
To check the remote control’s current ID, do the following:
1. Press the 
ID button twice. After a moment, the button flashes. 
2. Count the number of flashes; this number corresponds to the 
remote control’s ID. (If it doesn’t flash, the ID is set to zero.)

Managing Projectors 
The EasyManagement software for your projector lets you monitor 
and control your projectors from a remote computer:
■Use EMP Monitor (available for Windows only) to see your 
projectors’ status, switch image sources, and control basic settings.
■Use EMP NetworkManager to send out messages by e-mail, 
notifying you when a problem occurs with a projector.
■Use a network management utility running SNMP, such as 
HP OpenView, to manage your facility’s equipment from a 
pre-existing system. 
To use the EasyManagement software to manage your projectors, first 
install EMP Monitor as described on page 114. Then connect and 
configure each projector you want to monitor. You can connect the 
projector over a wired network (as described on page 80). 
This chapter covers the following information:
■Connecting the projector to and configuring it for a wired 
network
■Monitoring and controlling your projector with EMP Monitor
■Using a browser to monitor the projector
note
If you’re using a network 
management utility running 
SNMP, you can configure 
your network to send trap 
alerts even without a plug-in 
(see page 80). This feature is 
intended for use by network 
administrators only.

Connecting and Configuring the 
Projector on a Wired Network 
Before using the EasyManagement software to manage your 
projector(s), you have to connect each projector you want to monitor 
to your network and configure it with an appropriate IP address. You 
can connect and configure the projector  using the network port.
Follow these steps to connect and configure the projector for your 
network.
1. Connect the projector to your network using a commercially 
available 100baseTX or 10baseT network cable.
2. Turn on the projector (see page 18). 
3. Press the 
Menu button on the remote control and select Network 
from the 
Extended menu.
4. If your network assigns addresses automatically, turn on 
DHCP.
If your network does not assign addresses automatically, turn off 
DHCP and enter the projector’s IP Address, Subnet Mask, and 
Gateway Address, as needed. 
■To enter numbers using the remote control, press the Num 
button until it lights, then use the number keypad shown 
below. 
note
If you’re a network 
administrator, you can use 
the 
SNMP option to enter a 
t r a p  I P  a d d r e s s .  T h i s  l e t s  y o u

projectors you’re monitoring.
