5. To enable your computer to find the projector on the network,

you need to enter the ESSID, which is the SSID identifier of your
access point or the name of your AirPort network. (The name of
your AirPort network may be different than that of your AirPort
base station; select your base station in the AirPort Admin utility
and click

Configure

to check the name of your network.)

Highlight

ESSID

on the projector screen and press

Enter

. Then

enter your access point’s SSID identifier or your AirPort network
name in the text box. Note that the ESSID is case-sensitive.

6. If you want to create a password for remote access to the

projector, type it in the box next to

Password for WEB control

and press

Enter

.

7. If you want to set up a security keyword so that only people who

are in the same room as the projector can access it, turn

Projector

keyword

on. Then when you want to connect to the projector, it

displays a randomized four-digit number or “keyword” on the
screen. When prompted by NS Connection, you can enter the
keyword on your computer to connect (see page 92).

8. If your access point assigns IP addresses automatically, turn on

DHCP

. Otherwise, turn off DHCP and enter the following

information manually:

IP address

: Type in the IP address you want to assign to the

projector. It must be formatted like other addresses on the
network; usually the first three segments (XXX.XXX.XXX)
match the first three segments of the IP address for your
access point or AirPort base station.

Subnet mask

: For example: 255.255.255.000, but this

depends on how your network is set up.

Gateway address

: Enter the IP address that was assigned to

the access point or AirPort base station when it was set up.

9. If you want to monitor the projector using HP OpenView,

you’ll need to enter at least one trap IP address. See Chapter 7 for
details on monitoring the projector.

note

The projector keyword
changes each time you turn
the projector off and then on
again, or remove and
reinsert the 802.11b card.
Check the keyword on the
EasyMP Network screen
whenever you start EasyMP,
and enter that keyword on
your computer. You can’t
connect using a previous
keyword.

note

For specific details about
your network, please consult
your network administrator.

If you don’t know your
gateway or access point
address, see page 86. I
f
you’re using AirPort, start
the AirPort Admin utility,
select your base station and
click

Configure

. Then click

the

Network

tab to see your

base station’s IP address.
