Projector Monitoring and Control using a NetworkComputers and projectors can be connected together using a network so that 
the statuses of the projectors can be monitored and controlled by computer via 
the network.
A Projector Software CD-ROM is included as an accessory with this projector.
The Projector Software CD-ROM contains the EMP NetworkManager and 
EMP Monitor software. This software can be used to carry out the following 
network monitoring and control functions.
EMP Monitor
This allows the statuses of projectors that are connected via a network to 
be displayed on a computer monitor. Multiple projectors can be 
monitored and controlled in this way using a single computer.
EMP NetworkManager
This software is used to make network settings and e-mail notification 
function settings for a projector using a computer. When EMP 
NetworkManager is used to make mail notification function settings, e-
mail messages can be sent to a pre-designated e-mail address to notify the 
computer operator when a problem occurs with a projector.
Monitoring using SNMP
 and the SNMP manager program
Projector status can be monitored and controlled from a computer using 
SNMP. To use the SNMP function to monitor the projectors, you need to 
install the SNMP software into the computer to be used for monitoring. 
This should be done by a network administrator or someone else who is 
familiar with the details of the network.
Carry out the following operations in the order listed in order to set up 
monitoring and control of projectors via a network.
1. Use the Projector Software CD-ROM to install the software to be 
used into the computer.   p.95
2. Connect the projector to the network using the a network cable. 
 p.96
3. Use the projectors configuration menus to make the required 
network settings.   p.97
4. Use the computer to monitor and control the projector.
