7 Network Setting by Using an HTTP Browser
Overview
Connecting  the  projector  to  a  network  allows  the  Alert  Mail  setting  (→  page 43)  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 20)
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/index.html
  for the address or the entry column of the URL.
