Connecting to a Projector on a Different Subnet 20

Connecting to a Projector on a Different Subnet

You can connect the projector and the computer and project to screens at remote locations (on different subnets). In Automatic search, projectors on different subnets are not found because searches are only performed on the same subnet. You can use the following methods to connect to a projector on a different subnet. Specify either an IP address or projector name and perform a search.

The IP address can be input directly. Also, provided the projector name to be connected has been registered on the DNS server, you can perform a search simply by inputting that projector name. s "Specifying Either an IP Address or Projector Name and Performing a Search (Advanced Connection Mode Only)" p.20

Perform a search based on a Profile. Once you have performed a search for a projector on a different subnet by specifying either an IP address or a projector name, you can save the search as a profile with an easy-to-remember name, and then use that profile whenever you subsequently want to search for a projector on a different subnet. s "Performing a Search with a Profile" p.21

q If you cannot find a projector, see the following section for the most likely causes. s "Troubleshooting" p.46

When you use Manual search in Quick Connection Mode, you can specify the SSID. When there are a lot of projectors you can narrow the search field by using SSID.

Specifying Either an IP Address or Projector Name and Performing a Search (Advanced Connection Mode Only)

In the following explanations, unless otherwise noted, Windows screen shots are used. Similar screens are displayed on Mac OS X.

A Click Manual search on the EasyMP Network Projection projector selection screen.

Connecting to a Projector on a Different Subnet 21

B Enter the IP address or the projector name for the projector you want to connect to, and click OK.

The search results are displayed on the EasyMP Network Projec- tion projector selection screen. Provided the target projector has been identified, select that projec- tor, and then click Connect to establish a connection. Once you have saved projector information as a profile, you do not have to specify the relevant details every time you perform a search. s "Making a Profile" p.21

Performing a Search with a Profile

You can save a search for a frequently used projector as a profile. A profile is a file containing all of the information pertaining to a given projector, such as the projector name, its IP address, and SSID. You can specify a profile to search for a projector instead of specifying relevant details such as the IP address and projector name. For example, by creating a group of profiles for each place where a projector is setup and managing them with folders, the target projector can be found quickly. This section explains how to create, edit, and manage a profile.

Making a Profile

Profiles are made by saving search results. For details on how to edit a previously saved profile, see the following section. s "Managing a Profile" p.23

A While the projector is displayed on the EasyMP Network Projection projector selection screen, click Save in the profile.

The Save in the profile screen is displayed.
