  Using  the  Projector  to  Operate  Your  Computer  over  a  LAN 
(Desktop Control Utility 1.0)
Using	Desktop	 Control	Utility	1.0	allows	 you	to	remotely	 operate	your	computer	 placed	at	a	distance	 from	the	projector	
over	a	network	(wired	LAN	or	wireless	LAN).
What you can do with Desktop Control Utility 1.0
•	 A	commercially	available	USB	mouse	is	connected	to	the	projector	to	operate	the	computer.
•	 Suppose,	 for	example,	 a	PowerPoint	 file	to	be	 presented	 in	a	conference	 is	saved	 to	a	computer	 in	your	 office. 	
If	this	 computer	 is	connected	 to	the	 projector	 in	the	 conference	 room	with	LAN	 when	 the	conference	 is	held,	 the	
desktop	 screen	of	the	 computer	 in	your	 office	 (Windows	 7/Windows	 Vista/Windows	 XP)	can	be	projected	 and	the	
Power-Point	 file	can	 be	presented	 by	operating	 the	projector. 	In	 other	 words	 the	computer	 does	not	need	 to	be	
brought	into	the	conference	room.
IMPORTANT:
•	 You	 can	use	the	Desktop	 Control	Utility	1.0	to	operate	 a	computer	 located	in	a	separate	 room	from	the	projector	 over	a	network.	
Therefore,	 care	must	 be	exercised	 to	prevent	 any	third	 party	 from	viewing	 the	screen	 of	your	 computer	 (important	 documents),	
copying	files,	or	turning	off	the	power.
	 NEC	assumes	 no	liability	 for	any	 loss	 or	damages	 arising	from	information	 leak	or	system	 failure	while	you	are	using	 Desktop	
Control	Utility	1.0.
•	 This	 will	disconnect	 LAN	connection	 when	the	computer	 goes	in	the	 standby	 mode	while	the	Desktop	 Control	Utility	1.0	is	being	
used.
	 In	 the	Windows	 7/Windows	 Vista,	select	 [Control	 Panel]	→	[Hardware	 and	Sound]	→	[Power	 Options].	 Set	[Change	 when	the	
computer	sleeps]	to	[Never].	
	 In	the	Windows	 XP,	click	 [Control	 Panel]	→	[Performance	 and	Maintenance]	→	[Power	 Options]	→	[System	 Standby]	→ 
[Never].
•	 The	screen	saver	function	is	off	while	Desktop	Control	Utility	1.0	is	running.
Connecting the projector to a LAN
Connect	 the	projector	 to	the	 LAN	 by	following	 the	instructions	 in	“Connecting	 to	a	Wired	 LAN”	(→	page	150),	 “Con-
necting	to	a	 Wireless	LAN” 	(→	page	151)	and	“9	Application	Menus	-	NETWORK	SETTINGS” 	(→	page	120)

•	 In	case	of	Windows	7/Windows	Vista,	disable	the	user	account	control	before	using	Desktop	Control	Utility	1.0.	
	 Windows	Vista	has	“User	 Account	 Control”	 function	to	protect	 the	computer.	 The	user	 account	 confirmation	 window	may	be	
displayed. 
	 Since	 Desktop	Control	 Utility	1.0	 cannot	 transfer	 the	user 	account 	confirmation 	window,	 this	window	 makes	the	 operation 	unavail-
able.	 Before	 using	Desktop	 Control	Utility	1.0,	it	is	 necessary	 to	disable	 the	user	 account	 control	of	Windows	 7/Windows	 Vista.
