9.1 Transmitting via a Wireless LAN PC Card

You can exchange data between the computer and projector when both have Wireless LAN PC
cards installed, or share a printer connected to a computer with the Wireless LAN PC Card in-
stalled. When you want to set computers to communicate via Wireless LAN PC cards using the
following settings, you can also communicate between the cards as well. Make sure that the all the
computers that will be transmitting data and the projectors have been set the same.
• Configure an IP address, Subnet mask and Gateway.
• Configure to "Peer-to-Peer" as the "Network Type".
• Set the each transmission channel to same channel.
• Configure the same name for the network name (SS ID or ESS ID).
• Configure the same wireless network key or WEP key, when using "Encryption (WEP security)".
• When sending data between Wireless LAN PC cards, make sure to set channel 5 or over as inter-
ference may occur if another Wireless LAN PC cards is used nearby. For example, if Wireless LAN
PC cards are communicating already on channel 1, then set channel 6.
• If no Wireless LAN PC Card is used, you do not have to change the default settings of the transmis-
sion channel.
• Make sure to consult your Network Administrator should any network related problems occur.
The configuration varies depending on your operating system. In this operation manual, Windows
