Wireless LAN Security CountermeasuresOne of the advantages of using a wireless LAN is that it is possible to 
communicate easily if you are within the range of the electromagnetic 
waves, because with a wireless LAN data is exchanged through 
electromagnetic waves.
On the other hand, since electromagnetic waves extend through 
obstacles such as walls, the content of the communication can be 
intercepted, and the network can be breached without using any 
special tools if security is not set.
To prevent these problems, the following security functions have been 
provided.
 Data encryption
Encode and transmit data. Even if data is intercepted, it cannot be 
deciphered.
 Connection limitation (Authentication)A users name and a password are registered in advance, which means 
that only the registered wireless port can connect to the network and 
prevents unauthorized third parties from connecting to the network. Firewall
Prevents unauthorized computer access by closing ports that are not 
used.
The security functions that can be used with this projector vary 
depending on the connection mode of the wireless LAN.
Use the firewall function provided with your OS.

Using the Mail Notification Function to Report ProblemsBy setting the mail notification function from network settings in the 
configuration menu, notification messages will be sent to preset e-mail 
addresses when a problem or warning occurs with a projector. This 
will enable the operator to be notified of problems with projectors even 
at locations away from the projectors.Setting Mail Notification Function
Select Mail Setup from network settings in the projector’s configuration 
menu and set the mail notification function. 
sUser’s Guide Network 
Menu (EMP-1815 Only) Mail Menu
Also, confirm the following points.
 Network settings have been made to allow the projector and computer to 
connect via a wireless LAN in the Advanced Connection Mode or the 
optional Ethernet unit.
sWireless LAN Connection in the Advanced Mode p.19
If a Problem Notification is Sent by Mail
If an e-mail message with EPSON Projector in the subject line is sent to 
the IP addresses that have been set as mail notification destinations, the message is a notification message saying that there is a problem with the 
projector.
The following information will be contained in the body of the message.
Line 1: The name of the projector where the problem has occurred
Line 2: The IP address set for the projector where the problem has 
occurred
Line 3: Details of the problem
The details of the problem are listed line by line. The following table 
shows the details that are given in the message for each item.
*  A (+) or (-) will appear at the start of the message.
(+): A projector problem has occurred
(-): A projector problem has been dealt with
q
 Up to a maximum of three notification destinations 
(addresses) can be recorded, and notification messages 
can be sent to all three destinations at once.
 If a projector develops a critical problem and suddenly 
stops working, it may not be able to send a message 
notifying an operator of the problem.
 If set to Network ON in the Extended menu of the 
projectors configuration menu, monitoring can be carried 
out even if the projector is in standby mode (when the 
power is off).

Management Using SNMPBy setting SNMP in the EasyMP network setting, notification 
messages will be sent to preset e-mail addresses when a problem or 
warning occurs with a projector. This is useful when controlling 
projectors centrally at a point distant from them.
To set SNMP, select SNMP from network settings on the projector’s 
configuration menu. 
s
Users Guide Network Menu (EMP-1815 
Only) SNMP Menu 
q
 SNMP should be managed by a network administrator or 
someone who is familiar with the network.
 The SNMP function to monitor the projector requires
SNMP Manager to be installed on the computer.
 The managing function using SNMP cannot be used via a 
wireless LAN in the Quick Connection Mode.
 Up to two destination IP addresses can be recorded, so that 
if the notification message cannot be sent to the first IP 
address specified, it will be sent to the second IP address 
instead.

These are scenario files created using SlideMaker2. 
You can convert PowerPoint files as they are or  
create scenarios by combining images and movie 
files. For instructions on creating a scenario, see 
sPreparing a Scenario p.48.
You can also play audio (.wav) files set as BGM at 
the time of scenario creation.
You can also project scenarios created using the 
EMP SlideMaker that is supplied with the EMP-
1715/1710/7950/7850/765/755/745/737, ELP-735/

.mrk
For DPOF version 1.10, only files named 
AUTPLAYx.mrk (where x is a number between 0 to 
9) can be projected.
q
 JPEG files with the extension .jpeg and MPEG files 
with the extension .mpeg cannot be projected.
 When projecting JPEG files, the image will not be 
projected clearly if compression is set too high.
 If you use a USB storage device with a slow access speed 
when playing back movies and scenarios with BGM (when 
transmitting at higher bit rates), the movie files may not 
play back correctly or the sound may skip or not be output.
When using a USB hard disk, we recommend using an AC 
adaptor power supply.
 Use the following formats when formatting the media to be 
used.
