Managing Projectors 
The software included with 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 the mail notification function to receive e-mail alerts about 
possible problems. 
■Use a network management utility running SNMP, such as 
HP OpenView, to manage your facility’s equipment from a 
pre-existing system (requires an optional plug-in available on 
request from Epson).
You can also use NS Connection to register up to 16 projectors as a 
group. This allows you to provide quick and easy access to these 
projectors from other computers.
To use the software to manage your projectors, first install EMP 
Monitor as described on page 166. If you plan to create projector 
groups, also install EMP NS Connection. Then connect and 
configure each projector you want to monitor. You can connect the 
projector wirelessly in Access Point mode or over a wired network (as 
described on page 57). 
This chapter covers the following information:
■Monitoring and controlling your projector with EMP Monitor
■Using e-mail alerts to warn you of problems
■Understanding notification messages
■Using a browser to monitor the projector
