Configuring the Connection

After you install the optional wireless LAN module, you can use the

EasyMP Network Projection software to connect to the projector and

send images wirelessly in two modes: Ad Hoc mode or Access Point

mode.

■

Ad Hoc mode

(computer-to-computer mode) lets you connect

just one computer to the projector at a time; it’s easy to set up,

and the only equipment you need is a computer with a wireless

(802.11g, 802.11b, or 802.11a) network card or adapter, or a

Macintosh with an AirPort

or AirPort Extreme card. When you

connect with this mode, any connection to other wireless

networks is broken; you can connect to the projector only.

■

Access Point mode

(infrastructure mode) lets multiple computers

access the projector at the same time and easily trade off control

over the projector. To use Access Point mode, you need a wireless

(802.11g, 802.11b, or 802.11a) access point or an AirPort

Extreme (or AirPort) base station, and one or more computers

with wireless network cards or adapters.

network connections to

11MB/sec. This is a

standard specification of
