Setting up the wireless LAN (Continued) The higher the number of bits, the stronger the encryption, and hence the harder it will be for a third party to decipher your communications. However, setting higher encryption levels may slow down communication speed. To set the highest security level, specify a 128-bit WEP key. For higher security, avoid using a word found in a dictionary and change the key sometimes. Set the following item if you have set the communication mode to Infrastructure. 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 for connection to the Internet. The format is a string of four dot-separated three-digit numbers. (Example: 111.112.xxx.xxx) A subnet mask is used to determine what subnet the IP address assigned to a terminal belongs to. (Example: 255.255.xxx.xxx) This value specifies the device, such as a router, to be used to access servers outside the network. It is identified by the IP address. (Example: 111.112.xxx.xxx) • [Setting initialization] This item resets the wireless LAN settings to their factory defaults. • [Projector name] This can be used to identify projectors when communicating with multiple projectors, or if there is a possibility that another person who is out of communication range will be using the same projector. It is recommended this is set to prevent wrong transmission. Note • XXXXXXTR-21-2. • [WEB browser] Browser authentication and Password are factory-set to Off and no string, respectively. You should set them as soon as possible. If you have forgotten your password, set it again using the menu on the main unit. ■ Computer settings Refer to instruction manuals of your computer or wireless LAN PC card to perform the following settings. • Select Ad hoc (for some PC cards, this is Peer-to-Peer Group). • You may need to set channels depending on the wireless LAN PC card being used. Make the [Channel] settings identical to the computer settings. • Set SSID (for some types of PC card, use Network name instead) as the same as projector's SSID (at factory shipment, this is set to TDPJ). • If Encryption and Key are set on the projector, set to the same values. Note • The Config Free utility allows users to easily connect the projector to a computer over wireless networks, without making network setting. For Config Free support, the computer requires a wireless LAN environment that is NDIS5.1 compliant. Refer to the userís manual supplied with the wireless LAN adapter or the wireless LAN embedded computer for more information. Operations 56 57
