 Checking Energy-Saving Effect [CARBON METER]
This	feature	 will	show	 energy-saving	 effect	in	terms	 of	CO2	 emission	 reduction	 (kg)	when	 the	projector’s	 [ECO	MODE]	
is	set	to	[ON]. 	This	feature	is	called	as	[CARBON	METER].
There	 are	two	 messages: 	[TOTAL	 CARBON	 SAVINGS]	 and	[CARBON	 SAVINGS-SESSION]. 	The	 [TOTAL	 CARBON	
SAVINGS]	 message	shows	the	total	 amount	 of	CO2	 emission	 reduction	 from	the	time	 of	shipment	 up	to	now. 	You	 can	
check	the	information	on	[USAGE	 TIME]	from	[INFO.]	of	the	menu.	(→ page 78)
The	[CARBON	 SAVINGS-SESSION]	 message	shows	the	amount	 of	CO2	 emission	 reduction	 between	the	time	 of	
changing	 to	ECO	 MODE	 immediately	 after	the	time	 of	power-on	 and	the	time	 of	power-off. 	The	 [CARBON	 SAVINGS-
SESSION]	message	will	be	displayed	in	the	[POWER	OFF/	ARE	 YOU	SURE?]	message	at	the	time	of	power-off.
TIP:
•	 The	formula	as	shown	below	is	used	to	calculate	the	amount	of	CO2	emission	reduction.
	 Amount	of	CO2	 emission	 reduction	 =	Power	 consumption	 in	OFF	 for	ECO	 MODE	 –	Power	 consumption	 in	ON	 for	ECO	 MODE	 x	
CO2	conversion	factor.*
	 *		Calculation	 for	amount	 of	CO2	 emission	 reduction	 is	based	 on	an	OECD	 publication	 “CO2	Emissions	 from	Fuel	Combustion,	
2008	Edition”.
•	 This	formula	will	not	apply	to	the	power	consumption	which	is	not	affected	by	whether	[ECO	MODE]	is	turned	on	or	off.

  Network  Setting  by  Using  an  HTTP  Browser  (except  NP405 
and NP305)
Overview
Connecting	 the	projector	 to	a	network	 allows	the	Alert	 Mail	setting	 (→  page  50)  and  the  projector  control  from  a 
computer	via	the	network.
To	perform	 the	projector	 control	from	a	web	 browser,	 you	must	 have	an	exclusive	 application	 installed	on	your	 com-
puter. 
The	 IP	address	 and	subnet	 mask	of	the	 projector	 can	be	set	 on	the	 Network	 Setting	screen	of	the	 web	 browser	 by	
using	an	HTTP	 server	 function. 	Please	 be	sure	 to	use	 “Microsoft	 Internet	Explorer	 6.0”	or	 a	higher	 version	 for	the	 web	
browser. 	(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.)
Access	 is	gained	 to	the	 HTTP	 server	 function	 by	starting	 the	Web	 browser	 on	the	 computer	 via	the	 network	 connected	
to	the	projector	and	enter	the	following	URL.
•	 Network	Setting
	 http:///index.html
•	 Alert	Mail	Setting
	 http:///lanconfig.html
TIP: 
•	 The	default	IP	address	is	“192.168.0.10”.
•	 The	exclusive	application	can	be	downloaded	from	our	website.
NOTE: 
•	 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).
•	 The	 display’s	 or	button’s	 response	 can	be	slowed	 down	or	operation	 may	not	be	accepted	 depending	 the	settings	 of	your	 network.	
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	projector.
Preparation Before Use
Connect	the	projector	to	a	commercially	available	LAN	cable	before	engaging	in	browser	operations. 	(→ page 24)
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.
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	 mail	 alert	 settings	 by	
specifying 
	 http://192.168.73.1/inde
 x.html
	for	the	address	or	the	entry	column	of	the	URL.

9 Using the VGA Signal Cable to Operate the Projector 
(Virtual Remote)
Using	 the	utility	 software	 “Virtual	Remote	 Tool”	included	 on	the	 companion	 NEC	Projector	 CD-ROM,	 Virtual	Remote	
screen (or toolbar) can be displayed on your computer screen.
This	will	help	 you	perform	 operations	 such	as	projector’s	 power	on	or	off	 and	 signal	 selection	 via	the	 VGA	 signal	
cable.
Virtual	Remote	screenToolbar
This	section	provides	an	outline	of	preparation	for	use	of	 Virtual	Remote	Tool.
For	information	on	how	to	use	 Virtual	Remote	Tool,	see	Help	of	 Virtual	Remote	Tool.	(→ page 55)
Step	1: 	Install	Virtual	Remote	 Tool	on	the	computer. 	(→ page 51, 52)
Step	2:	Connect	the	projector	to	the	computer. 	(→ page 53)
Step	3:	Start	Virtual	Remote	 Tool.	(→ page 54)
NOTE:
•	 When	 [COMPUTER	 1]	is	selected	 from	your	source	 selection,	 the	Virtual	 Remote	 screen	or	the	 toolbar	 will	be	displayed	 as	well	
as your computer screen.
•	 Use	 the	supplied	 VGA	signal	 cable	to	connect	 the	COMPUTER	 1	IN	 connector	 directly	with	the	monitor	 output	connector	 of	the	
computer to use Virtual Remote Tool.
	 Using	a	switcher	or	other	cables	than	the	supplied	VGA	signal	cable	may	cause	failure	in	signal	communication.
	 VGA	cable	connector:
	 Pin	Nos.	12	and	15	are	required	for	DDC/CI.
•	 Virtual	Remote	Tool	may	not	work	depending	on	your	computer’s	specifications	and	version	of	graphic	adapters	or	drivers.
TIP:
•	 The	 projector’s	 COMPUTER	 1	IN	 connector	 supports	DDC/CI	(Display	 Data	Channel	 Command	 Interface).	DDC/CI	is	a	standard	
interface	for	bidirectional	communication	between	display/projector	and	computer.
