Epson PowerLite 745c Projector Projecting Wirelessly Once you've started EasyMP and set up your projector and computer in either Ad Hoc mode or Access Point mode, follow these steps to start NS Connection and project wirelessly. Note: You must have installed EMP NS Connection from your projector CD-ROM. See the User's Guide for installation instructions. 1. Make sure you've inserted the Epson 802.11G/B card in the projector's card slot (see page 10). 2. Windows: Select EMP NS Connection from the Windows Start menu. Macintosh OS X: Double-click the EMP NS Connection icon in your Applications folder. The first time you start NS Connection, you see a dialog box asking you to select your network. Select the name for your computer's wireless network adapter card and click OK. Note: If you don't see your network adapter's IP address, allow a minute for it to appear. If your access point or AirPort base station uses DHCP, sometimes it takes a minute for the server to pick up the IP address. You see the screen below. (If you have previously started NS Connection, this is the first screen you see.) Note: Once you've selected the IP address for your network adapter, you won't see the Switch network dialog box when you start NS Connection. If you want to change to a different network adapter, click Extension on the EMP NS Connection dialog box, then click Switch LAN. If the connection is working properly, you see your projector listed. If you have additional Epson projectors on the network, they are also listed, along with their status. The color of the status icon next to each projector's name indicates its status: ❏ Gray: the projector is not connected ❏ Orange: the projector is connected to another computer ❏ Green: the projector is connected to your computer 3. If you don't see your projector, check the following: ❏ Make sure your wireless signal is strong enough to establish a connection. If you have a Macintosh, check the AirPort icon on the Macintosh menu bar. For Windows, see the documentation for your access point or computer network card. ❏ Make sure you're trying to connect to the right network. In Windows, verify that you've enabled your computer's connection to the access point or that your wireless card or adapter is enabled, and that its SSID matches the projector's ESSID. In Macintosh, check the AirPort status menu (click the AirPort icon on your menu bar) to make sure AirPort is turned on and the projector's ESSID or your AirPort network is selected. Remember that the ESSID is case-sensitive. ❏ Make sure you aren't projecting one of the EasyMP configuration screens. (You should see a message that the projector is ready to connect.) If you have to exit the configuration screen, restart NS Connection. ❏ Check the IP address for both your projector and your wireless card, adapter, access point, or AirPort base station. The first three sections of the IP address should be identical. The last section of the projector's IP address should be close, but not identical, to the last section of the IP address for your wireless interface, access point, or base station. ❏ Restart your computer and start NS Connection again. ❏ If you still don't see your projector and you are using Access Point mode, follow the instructions in "Connecting in IP Connect Mode" on page 16 to connect to the projector manually. ❏ Make sure you have disabled any firewall software. 8/04 Epson PowerLite 745c Projector - 15
