Managing Projectors

Connecting and Configuring the
Projector on a Wired Network

Before using the EasyManagement software to manage your
projector(s), you have to connect each projector you want to monitor
to your network and configure it with an appropriate IP address. You
can connect and configure the projector wirelessly, as described in
Chapter 4, or you can connect using a PCMCIA LAN card.

Follow these steps to use a PCMCIA LAN card to connect and
configure the projector for your network.

1. Insert the PCMCIA LAN card into the card slot on the back of

the projector. Then connect the projector to your network using a
commercially available 100baseTX or 10baseT network cable.

2. Turn on the projector (see page 18).

3. Press the

Menu

button on the remote control and select

Network

from the

Advanced2

menu.

4. If your network assigns addresses automatically, turn on

DHCP

.

If your network does not assign addresses automatically, turn off

DHCP

and enter the projector’s

IP Address

,

Subnet Mask

Gateway Address

, and

MAC Address

, as needed.

note

If you’re a network
administrator, you can use
the

SNMP

option to enter a

trap IP address. This lets you
receive trap alerts for the
projectors you’re monitoring.
If you have HP OpenView,
a plug-in will be available
to allow you to manage your
projectors in HP OpenView.
Check with EPSON for
availability (see page 191).

You can also configure your
wireless network to receive
trap alerts. Your projector
must be connected in Access
Point mode. Select the

Advanced

button next to

the Access Point mode box,
then select

SNMP

and enter

the IP addresses of the
computers to be notified of
an SNMP trap.
