3. Convenient Features
 Controlling the Projector by Using an HTTP Browser
Overview
The	HTTP	Server	function	provides	settings	and	operations	for:
1.	 Setting	for	wired/wireless	network	(NETWORK	SETTINGS)
 To use wireless LAN connection, the optional USB Wireless LAN Unit is required. (→ page 111)
 To use wired/wireless LAN connection, connect the projector to the computer with a commercially available LAN 
cable. (→ page 110)
2.	 Setting	Alert	Mail	(ALERT	MAIL)
	 When	 the	projector	 is	connected	 to	a	wired/wireless	 network,	lamp	replace	 time	or	error	 messages	 will	be	sent	 via	
e-mail.
3.	 Operating	the	projector
 Power on/off, selecting input, volume control and picture adjustments are possible.
4.	 Setting	PJLink	PASSWORD	and	AMX	BEACON
This	 device	 uses	“JavaScript” 	and	 “Cookies” 	and	 the	browser	 should	be	set	 to	accept	 these	functions. 	The	 setting	
method	 will	vary	 depending	 on	the	 version	 of	browser. 	Please	 refer	to	the	 help	 files	and	the	other	 information	 provided	
in	your	software.
Two	ways	of	access	to	the	HTTP	server	function	are	available:
•	 Start	the	Web	 browser	 on	the	 computer	 via	the	 network	 connected	 to	the	 projector	 and	enter	 the	following	
URL	:
	 http://	/index.html
•	 Use	Image	Express	Utility	Lite	contained	on	the	supplied	NEC	Projector	CD-ROM.
TIP:	The	factory	setting	IP	address	is	[DHCP	ON].
NOTE:	
•	 To	use	the	projector	in	a	network,	consult	with	your	network	administrator	about	network	settings.
•	 The	 display’s	 or	button’s	 response	 can	be	slowed	 down	or	operation	 may	not	be	accepted	 depending	 the	settings	 of	your	 net-
work.
	 Should	 this	happen,	 consult	your	network	 administrator.	 The	projector	 may	not	respond	 if	its	 buttons	 are	repeatedly	 pressed	in	
rapid	intervals.	 Should	this	happen,	 wait	a	moment	 and	repeat.	 If	you	 still	can’t	 get	any	 response,	 turn	off	and	 back	 on	the	 projec-
tor.
•	 If	 the	PROJECTOR	 NETWORK	SETTINGS	screen	does	not	appear	 in	the	 web	 browser,	 press	the	Ctrl+F5	 keys	to	refresh	 your	web	
browser	(or	clear	the	cache).
Preparation before Use
Connect	the	projector	to	a	commercially	available	LAN	cable	before	engaging	in	browser	operations. 	(→	page	110)
Operation	with	a	browser	 that	uses	 a	proxy	 server	 may	not	be	possible	 depending	 on	the	 type	 of	proxy	 server	 and	the	
setting	method. 	Although	the	type	of	proxy	server	will	be	a	factor,	it	is	possible	that	items	that	have	actually	been	set	
will	not	 be	displayed	 depending	 on	the	 effectiveness	 of	the	 cache,	 and	the	contents	 set	from	 the	browser	 may	not	be	
reflected	in	operation. 	It	is	recommended	that	a	proxy	server	not	be	used	unless	it	is	unavoidable.

3. Convenient Features
Handling of the Address for Operation via a Browser
Regarding	the	actual	 address	 that	is	entered	 for	the	 address	 or	entered	 to	the	 URL	 column	 when	operation	 of	the	 pro-
jector	 is	via	 a	browser,	 the	host	 name	 can	be	used	 as	it	is	 when	 the	host	 name	 corresponding	 to	the	 IP	address	 of	the	
projector	 has	been	 registered	 to	the	 domain	 name	server	 by	a	network	 administrator,	 or	the	 host	 name	 corresponding	
to	the	IP	address	of	the	projector	has	been	set	in	the	 “HOSTS”	file	of	the	computer	being	used.
Example	1: 		When	the	host	name	of	the	projector	has	been	set	to	 “pj.nec.co.jp”,	access	is	gained	to	the	network	
setting	by	specifying 
	http://pj.nec.co.jp/index.html 
for	the	address	or	the	entry	column	of	the	URL.
Example	2: 		When	the	IP	address	of	the	projector	is	 “192.168.73.1”,	access	is	gained	to	the	network	setting	by	
specifying 
	http://192.168.73.1/index.html 
for	the	address	or	the	entry	column	of	the	URL.
