❏ Ad Hoc mode (computer-to-computer mode) lets you
connect just one computer to the projector at a time; it's easy
to set up, and the only equipment you need is a computer
with a wireless (802.11g, 802.11b, or 802.11a) network card
or adapter, or a Macintosh with an AirPort
Extreme card. When you connect to the projector in this
mode, your connection to other wireless networks or devices
is broken; you can connect to the projector only.
❏ Access Point mode (infrastructure mode) lets multiple
computers access the projector at the same time and easily
trade off control of the projector. To use Access Point mode,
you need a wireless (802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g) access
point or an AirPort Extreme (or AirPort) base station, and
one or more computers with wireless network cards or
adapters.
Follow the instructions below for the mode you want to use.
Note: To connect to the projector over a wireless network, your
computer must be running Windows 2000 or XP. Your Mac must
be running Mac OS X 10.3 or later.
Access Point mode (infrastructure mode) is required to achieve
transfer speeds up to 54Mbp/s on an 802.11a/g network. Ad Hoc
mode (computer-to-computer mode) limits network connections to
11Mbp/s. This is a standard specification of 802.11g networking.
