Introduction "Projector Monitoring Software" (hereafter referred to as "this software") is a software that uniformly manages network-connected compliant Canon Projectors, via network. Operating conditions and maintenance information of up to 253 projectors can be monitored and managed. This manual describes the introduction of this software, and its routine operation.
CHAPTER 1 • Introduction CCCCTCC C Introduction Introduction Crocess Prepare for introduction of this software as shown below. Prepare an administrative computer that is C Creparing an administrative connected to a network. Projectors connected to computer the local area network can be managed.
Windows XP: .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 or more Windows Vista : .NET Framework 3.0 or more Installing the Software Install this software with the following procedures. You must have authorization as a Computer Administrator to install programs. Run the installer for this software.
Configure the network range for discovering projectors. Methods vary depending on "SNMP V1/V2c/V3" and "LV Series". Configure each protocols respectively. ■ For SNMP V1/V2c/V3 When using "SNMP V1" / "SNMP V2c" / "SNMP V3", you can specify a broadcast address or IP address range for discovery. Select a protocol type and configure the range for discovery. Configure SNMP V1/V2c/V3 with the following procedures. Configuration can be done with the same procedures. SNMP V3 is used in this example. From [Discovery settings] of the [Option] menu, select a name of protocol ([SNMP V1] / [SNMP V2c] / [SNMP V3]) to configure.
