Connecting to a Projector on a Different Subnet
This chapter explains how to connect a computer to a projector on a
different sub-net via a Wired LAN or a wireless LAN access point on an
existing network system.
By default, this application only searches for projectors on the same subnet
as the computer. Therefore, even if you perform a search for projectors on
the network, projectors on a different subnet will not be found.
You can, however, identify and connect to a projector on a different subnet
as follows:
• 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.
• Performing 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.

• If a search fails to find a projector, the most likely causes are as
q
follows. Proceed as appropriate, depending on the cause of the
failure.
For both Windows and Mac OS:
If there is no wireless LAN signal or if the signal is weak, check
whether there is anything that could be interfering with the signal.
When the optional Wireless LAN unit is installed in the projector,
and connecting Mac OS to a wireless LAN:
Check whether AirPort is set to On. Or, check whether an
appropriate access point has been selected.
• 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.
