EasyMP Monitor Features

Tasks that can be done using EasyMP Monitor 6

Tasks that can be done using EasyMP Monitor

EasyMP Monitor lets you carry out operations such as checking the status of multiple Epson projectors that are connected to a network and controlling the projectors from the computer. Following are brief descriptions of the monitoring and control functions that can be carried out using EasyMP Monitor. Registering projectors for monitoring and control

Projectors on the network can be searched for automatically, and you can then select projectors to be registered from the projectors that are detected. You can enter the IP addresses for target projectors to register them.

Registered projectors can also be assigned to groups so that they can be monitored and controlled in groups.

Monitoring the statuses of registered projectors The power status (ON/OFF) for projectors and problems or warnings requiring attention can be checked visually by means of icons. You can select groups of projectors or a single projector that you are interested in, and then check the cumulative lamp operating time or the details of information such as input sources, problems, and warnings for these projectors.

Controlling registered projectors Projectors can be selected in groups or as single projectors, and you can then carry out operations for the selected projectors such as turning the power on and off and switching their input sources. Web control functions can be used to change the settings in the projector's configuration menu. If there are certain control actions which are carried out regularly at particular times or on particular days, you can use Timer Settings to register timer settings.

Mail notification function settings You can set e-mail addresses to which notifications are sent if a status requiring attention, such as a problem, occurs with a projector that has been registered.

Sending messages to registered projectors You can send JPEG files to the registered projectors at once by using Message Broadcasting, which is a plug-in software for EasyMP Monitor. To download the software and manual, visit www.epson.com, select your location, and select your product.

How to switch views

Grouping view and Detail list view are switched as follows.

Procedure

Click the View menu, and select "Grouping view" or "Detail list view".

Monitoring using Grouping view

Meanings of Grouping view icons

In Grouping view, the patterns on the icons indicate the statuses of the projectors. If the group icons are round in shape, it indicates that there is another level below them. s p.24

Monitoring window layout 24

The icon patterns and their meanings are explained below.

*1 When Temperature level display group view is set to On at Environment setup in the Tool menu, an icon indicating the internal temperature of the projector will be displayed on top of the projector icon. The default setting is Off. As you can get an idea of how the temperature inside the projector is increasing when Temperature level is displayed, you can make improvements to the projector's operating environment before a high internal temperature error or high-temperature warning occur. s p.29

*2 Check the following items. - Check that the projector's power is turned on. - Check that the LAN cable is connected. - Check that Standby Mode is set to Communication On (or Network On) or Network Monitoring is set to On in the projector's configuration menu.

*3 Check that the projector has been correctly connected to the network.

q The projector information that is generated when a problem is detected is stored until EasyMP Monitor is closed. EasyMP Monitor displays will not be updated automatically even if the projector status returns to normal. Click "Refresh" in the main window to update the status.

At Operation, you can carry out the operations of turning the pow- er on and off and switching the input sources, similarly for the con- trol buttons on the main window. If you set the input source switching, the projector's power will turn on at the timer start time even if it is not on at the time. Because of this, it is not necessary to make two separate timer settings for turning the power on and switching the input source.

B After completing the timer settings, click "OK". The timer settings that have been made will be registered and they can be checked in the displayed timer list.

q You can enable and disable all of the timer settings that have been registered. Select Timer - Enable or Disable from the Tool menu.

Mail notification function settings 40

Mail notification function settings

The mail notification function can be used to send corresponding notification messages to a preset e-mail address when a projector that is connected to the network assumes a certain status, or if it experiences a problem or warning. By using this function, the operator can be notified of a projectors status or problems even when the operator is in a different location from the projectors.

q Up to three addressees (destinations) can be registered and messages can be sent to all of them at once.

If a critical problem develops with a projector which causes it to suddenly stop working, it may not be possible for the projector to send a message notifying an operator of the problem.

If Standby Mode is set to Communication On (or Network On) or Network Monitoring is set to On in the projector configuration menus, you can monitor the projector even when it is in standby mode (when its power is turned off). See your User's Guide for more information.

On some projectors, the mail notification function can be set in the configuration menu. When notification messages are set to be sent in the projector's configuration menu, both the settings in the configuration menu and settings made on EasyMP Monitor are functional.

Application lock function 45

Application lock function

You can use the application lock to prevent third parties from operating the projectors using EasyMP Monitor and from changing settings without authority. Opening and closing EasyMP Monitor and status monitoring can still be carried out even when the application lock is applied. In addition, when a password has been set, the password must be entered in order to cancel the application lock. This ensures that the application lock can not be easily cancelled, and thus improves system security.

Switching Application lock between Enabled and Disabled

Enabling the application lock

Procedure

Select "Application lock" from the Tool menu. The application lock will be enabled and no operations will be possible other than opening and closing EasyMP Monitor and disabling the application lock.

Disabling the application lock

Procedure

A Select "Application unlock" from the Tool menu.

B The password entry window will be displayed, so enter the set password and then click "OK". If no password has been set (default setting), click OK without en- tering a password. It is recommended that you enter a password in order to strengthen security. The application lock will be cancelled and operations can be carried out as normal.

Setting a password for cancelling application lock

Carry out the following operations while application lock is cancelled.

Procedure

A Select "Environment setup" from the Tool menu. The Environment setup window will be displayed.

B Select "Change the application lock password".

C Enter the password in both the "New password" and "New password (confirm)" boxes and then click "OK". The password can be up to 16 bytes in length. Single-byte alphanu- meric characters can be used.

Check that the network cable has been connected correctly. If the cable is not connected correctly, reconnect it.

Has the projector been set up correctly for connection to the network?

Check the Network configuration settings.

See your User's Guide for more information.

Has EasyMP Monitor been installed on the computer correctly?

Uninstall EasyMP Monitor and then re-install it.s p.8

Are all the projectors that you want to control or monitor registered?

Register the projectors. s p.11

Is the projector's Standby Mode set to Communication On (or Network On) or Network Monitoring set to On in the configuration menu?

In order to use EasyMP Monitor to monitor and control the projector when it is in standby mode, the projector's Standby Mode must be set to Communication On (or Network On) or Network Monitoring must be set to On in the configuration menu.

See your User's Guide for more information.

Cause Remedy

Is the projector connected to the network correctly?

Check that the network cable has been connected correctly. If the cable is not connected correctly, reconnect it.

Has the projector been set up correctly for connection to the network?

Check the Network configuration settings.

See your User's Guide for more information.

Have the SMTP server IP address, Port Number and Recipient mail address all been set correctly?
