Introduction to EasyMP Multi PC Projection See the information here to learn more about EasyMP Multi PC Projection software. EasyMP Multi PC Projection Features

EasyMP Multi PC Projection Features EasyMP Multi PC Projection is software that allows you to hold interactive meetings or lessons by projecting images from network projectors. You can use a variety of display options for your environment. Connection to Various Devices Four-Panel Display Change Presenters and Projection Position Moderator Function Thumbnail Display Function Parent topic: Introduction to EasyMP Multi PC Projection

Connection to Various Devices When you install EasyMP Multi PC Projection on a networked computer and use it to connect to the projector, up to 50 other devices on the network can project images from the projector. (Up to four devices can project at one time.) The 50 devices can be a combination of computers running EasyMP Multi PC Projection and wireless devices, such as smartphones and tablets, running Epson iProjection.

8

You can also hold remote meetings over a network by simultaneously projecting the same image on up to four projectors on the network.

Parent topic: EasyMP Multi PC Projection Features Related tasks Connecting to Multiple Projectors (Mirroring) Related topics Connection Methods

Four-Panel Display You can simultaneously display up to four screens in separate projected panels, which is useful in both business and educational environments.

Recommended Wireless Environment for Multi PC Projection Setting Up a Projector to Connect in Quick Connection Mode Setting Up a Projector to Connect in Advanced Connection Mode (Wireless) Setting Up a Projector to Connect in Advanced Connection Mode (Wired) Parent topic: Setting Up the Software for the First Time

Connection Methods for Various Network Environments You can choose a connection mode to suit your network environment. Check how the projector is connected to the network system (wireless or wired) and the communication path from the computer to the projector. Depending on your projector, some connection methods may not be available. See your projector User's Guide for more details. To connect the projector to the computer directly using wireless communication: Use Quick

Connection Mode.

Recommended Wireless Environment for Multi PC Projection When you connect multiple devices to a projector using the Quick connection mode, we recommend limiting the number of devices to six or less to maintain the projection performance. The number of devices that can connect to a projector at the same time differs depending on the wireless communication environment. When you connect a projector to a wireless LAN and connect multiple devices wirelessly using the Advanced connection mode, note the following recommendations. Set up multiple access points so that one of the access points can connect up to 10 or 20 devices. See

the access point manual for more information on the maximum number of devices that can be connected.

When you use multiple access points, assign a different channel to each access point, and use different access points for the projector connection and the computer connection.

Use a wireless LAN controller, if possible, to enhance the connection stability. Use an access point that supports 802.11n. Contact your network administrator for help in setting up the wireless environment.

Note: If your projector supports a wired LAN connection, we recommend using a wired LAN connection when you connect multiple devices to the projector.

Solutions When You Cannot Connect Using Quick Connection Mode When you cannot connect the computer and the projector using Quick Connection Mode, try the following solutions. Check the status of the external devices used for the network connection or the environment in which

the network devices and the projector are located. Connect the specified wireless LAN unit to the projector securely. See your projector User's Guide

for more details. Check for any obstacles between the computer and projector, and change their position to improve

communication. Sometimes the indoor environment prevents the projector from being found in a search.

Set the radio strength for the network devices to the maximum. Check the projector's network settings.

Set the Connection Mode setting to Quick. Turn on a wireless LAN. When you enable the security setting, set the same passphrase to the computer and the projector. Close network settings on the projector, and then return to the LAN standby screen.

Check the computer's network settings. If the wireless LAN adapter is not installed on your computer, install a wireless LAN card on your

computer. Enable the wireless LAN setting or AirPort on your computer.

Check the software settings. If a user other than the moderator has established a connection and the projected image remains as

it is, you can interrupt the current connection to project your screen. If a Projector Keyword is set for the projector but you do not know the keyword, display the Home screen to check the projector keyword. If your projector does not have a Home screen, restart the projector and check the keyword displayed on the LAN standby screen.

Make sure you start the software in the connection mode that you set on the projector.

Solutions When You Cannot Connect Projectors Using Advanced Connection Mode (Wireless)

When you cannot connect the computer and the projector using Advanced Connection Mode over a wireless network, try the following solutions. If you cannot resolve the problem, contact your network administrator. Check the status of the external devices used for the network connection or the environment in which

the network devices and the projector are located. Connect the specified wireless LAN unit to the projector securely. See your projector User's Guide

for more details. Check for any obstacles between the access point and the computer or projector, and change their

position to improve communication. Sometimes, indoor environments prevent the projector from being found in a search.

Make sure that the access point and the computer or projector are not too far apart. Move them closer together and try to connect again.

70

If the wireless connection is slow or your projected image contains noise, check for interference from other equipment, such as a Bluetooth device or microwave. Move the interfering device farther away or expand your wireless bandwidth.

Set the radio strength for the network devices to the maximum. Set the IP address, the subnet mask, and the gateway address for the access point correctly. Make sure the wireless LAN system of the access point supports the projector's wireless LAN

system. Check the projector's network settings.

Set the Connection Mode setting to Advanced. Set the computer, the access point, and the projector to the same SSID. Set DHCP to Off. When DHCP is set to On, it may take some time to enter LAN standby status if an

available DHCP server is not found. Set the IP address, the subnet mask, and the gateway address for the projector correctly. Turn on a wireless LAN. Set the wireless LAN system to meet the standards supported by the access point. When you enable the security setting, set the same passphrase to the access point, the computer,

and the projector. Close network settings on the projector, and then return to the LAN standby screen.

Check the computer's network settings. If the wireless LAN adapter is not installed on your computer, install a wireless LAN card on your

computer. Enable the wireless LAN setting or AirPort on your computer. Connect to the access point to which the projector is connected. Turn off the firewall. If you do not want to turn it off, register the firewall as an exception. Make the

necessary settings to open the ports. The ports used by this software are "3620", "3621", and "3629".

Check the access point settings. Set connection permission at the access point to allow projectors to connect if any functions that

block connections, such as MAC Address restrictions and port restrictions, are set to the access point.
