Communication mode
The wireless LAN of this projector supports both Ad hoc and Infrastructure 
Communication modes.
 Ad hoc communication mode
This is transmission mode to communicate 
between wireless LAN equipment.
This mode is applicable, for example, to a 
presentation in the conference room, as it requires 
no other facilities. This function can only be used if 
the projector is in range of the computer’s wireless signals.
Toshiba does not guarantee the converage of the radio wave in the form of figures. The 
converage varies depending on the performance of each wireless LAN equipment, 
existence of obstacles or other wireless LAN equipment used by nearby working 
groups, etc. The coverage is generally estimated on the assumption that wireless LAN 
equipment be used in an unobstructed office or conference room.
 Infrastructure communication mode
A mixed wireless and wired LAN can be created 
via wireless LAN access points. (Communications 
between wireless LAN devices are also allowed.) 
Connecting to the rest of the world via a wired 
LAN or the Internet generally requires a high level 
of security.
Use the appropriate transmission mode for your 
network environment.
Caution when using the wireless LAN functions
The Wireless LAN in this unit uses the .4 GHz waveband.  If there is a similar wireless 
LAN in the area, or a wireless device using the .4 GHz waveband, or a microwave oven, 
the communication efficiency of this apparatus will be reduced, and may become unusable, 
but it is not a fault. If this happens, check an area away from the current location that will 
not cause radio interference to medical, industrial and public equipment, and change to 
it, or stop using the unit.

Details on individual items
[Wireless LAN settings]

This feature allows users to easily connect the projector to a computer over a network, 
without making Wireless LAN settings using Network Utility.

Your projector is set to Ad hoc in the factory. Change the setting if you want to use the 
projector in Infrastructure mode.

This is an ID code for connecting to specific individuals over a wireless LAN. This may 
also be called “Network group” or “Network name”.  Please read the following carefully.
Note:  When you use Ad hoc communication mode, if there is a similar 
SSID network 
group (for example, TDPJ1, TDPJ, etc.) in the possible communication area, 
it is possible that your projector name will not be displayed in the Network 
Utility projector list column. If this is the case, set SSID to a completely different 
character string.
Set the following items if you have set the communication mode to Infrastructure.
If you have set the communication mode to Ad hoc for Network Projector setting, 
the following items should also be set.

If you set DHCP to Use, the IP address of the projector is assigned automatically by the 
DHCP server. If your network environment does not assign IP addresses automatically, 
set DHCP to Not use, then set the following items IP address, Subnet mask and 
Gateway manually.

When DHCP is set to Not use, consult with your network administrator for the settings 
below and set the IP address manually.
An IP address is a unique number assigned to a terminal. The format is a string of four 
dot-separated three-digit numbers. (Example: 111.11.xxx.xxx)
Note:  If you set the same IP address for wireless LAN with the one for wired LAN, 
network function may fail to operate properly.

A subnet mask is used to determine what subnet the IP address assigned to a terminal 
belongs to. (Example: 55.55.xxx.xxx)
Note:  If you set the same subnet work for wireless LAN with the one for wired LAN, 
network function may fail to operate properly.

This value specifies the IP address of the device, such as a router, to be used to access 
servers outside the network. (Example: 111.11.xxx.xxx)

 [Security for wireless LAN settings]

Set the authentication to enhance network security. Select a method identical to that of 
wireless LAN terminal to be connected with.

Set Encryption according to the setting you made for Network authentication, as 
follows.
When you have set Network authentication to Open or Shared, select WEP for 
Encryption.
When you have set Network authentication to WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, select TKIP or 
AES for Encryption.
Note:  
Network authentication is factory-set to None. If you use the projector with this 
setting left unchanged, security may be compromised due to access by a third 
party within the projector’s coverage.

When you have set Encryption to WEP, Key index must be set. By default, “1” 
is selected. Select a key index identical to that of the wireless LAN terminal to be 
connected with.
Note: Since the range of key index varies by product type (1 to 4 or 0 to ), make 
settings with attention.

When you have set Encryption to [WEP]:
For use at an encryption level of 64-bit, specify a string of 5 arbitrary characters or a 
string of 10 characters in hexadecimal notation.
For use at the 18-bit level, specify a string of 1 arbitrary characters or a string of 6 
characters in hexadecimal notation.
When you have set Encryption to [TKIP]/[AES]:
Specify a string of 8 to 6 arbitrary characters or a string of 64 characters in 
hexadecimal notation. 
Note 1:  Alphabetic characters (A to F, a to f) used in hexadecimal notation are not 
case sensitive; the uppercase characters and their lowercase equivalents are 
handled to be identical.
Note :  The longer the strings of characters set for the Network key, the stronger the 
encryption becomes, and hence the harder it will be for a third party to decipher 
your communications. However, the setting of larger encryption may slow down 
communication speed.
Note :  To set a higher security level, specify a longer string of characters. For 
higher security, avoid using a word found in a dictionary and change the key 
sometimes.

This item resets the wireless LAN settings to their factory defaults.

 [Wired LAN settings]

If you set DHCP to Use, the IP address of the projector is assigned automatically by the 
DHCP server. If your network environment does not assign IP addresses automatically, 
set DHCP to Not use, then set the following items IP address, Subnet mask and 
Gateway manually.

When DHCP is set to Not use, consult with your network administrator for the settings 
below and set the IP address manually.
An IP address is a unique number assigned to a terminal. The format is a string of four 
dot-separated three-digit numbers. (Example: 111.11.xxx.xxx)
Note:  If you set the same IP address for wireless LAN with the one for wired LAN, 
network function may fail to operate properly.

A subnet mask is used to determine what subnet the IP address assigned to a terminal 
belongs to. (Example: 55.55.xxx.xxx)
Note:  If you set the same subnet work for wireless LAN with the one for wired LAN,
