Managing Projectors
The software included with your projector lets you monitor and 
control your projectors from a remote computer.
First connect and configure each projector you want to monitor. You 
can connect the projector wirelessly in Access Point mode (G5150NL 
and G5350NL only, as described on page 69) or over a wired network 
as described in this chapter.
Once you’ve connected the projectors to the network, you can use any 
of these tools to manage your projectors:
■Use EMP Monitor (available for Windows only) to see your 
projectors’ status, switch image sources, turn projectors on and 
off, control basic settings, and register projectors and projector 
groups. See the EMP Monitor Operation Guide for more 
information.
■Use the mail notification function to receive e-mail alerts about 
possible problems. See page 116 for more information.
■Use a web browser to monitor the projector. See the EasyMP 
Operation Guide for more information.
This chapter covers the following information:
■Connecting your projector to a wired network
■Using e-mail alerts to warn you of problems
