N Communication mode

The wireless LAN of this projector supports both Ad hoc and Infrastructure Communication modes.

U Ad hoc communication mode

This is transmission mode to communicate between wireless LAN equipment.

This mode is applicable, for example, to a

presentation in the conference room, as it requires no other facilities. This function can only be used if

the projector is in range of the computer’s wireless signals.

Toshiba does not guarantee the converage of the radio wave in the form of figures. The converage varies depending on the performance of each wireless LAN equipment, existence of obstacles or other wireless LAN equipment used by nearby working groups, etc. The coverage is generally estimated on the assumption that wireless LAN equipment be used in an unobstructed office or conference room.

U Infrastructure communication mode

Network and USB memory

The following functions are available with the wired LAN, or via wireless communications when the LAN dedicated application software: [Network Utility] p.62 included with this projector is used.

1)

Displaying a computer’s screen via the projector

• The computer’s desktop screen can be sent, as well as the screens of a variety of

 

software applications, to the projector for display. Likewise, the sound being played

Wireless LAN access point

A mixed wireless and wired LAN can be created via wireless LAN access points. (Communications between wireless LAN devices are also allowed.) Connecting to the rest of the world via a wired LAN or the Internet generally requires a high level of security.

Use the appropriate transmission mode for your network environment.

JPEG files can be sent to the projector for display. Likewise, the sound being played

on a computer can also be sent to the projector.

N Caution when using the wireless LAN functions

The Wireless LAN in this unit uses the 2.4 GHz waveband. If there is a similar wireless LAN in the area, or a wireless device using the 2.4 GHz waveband, or a microwave oven, the communication efficiency of this apparatus will be reduced, and may become unusable, but it is not a fault. If this happens, check an area away from the current location that will not cause radio interference to medical, industrial and public equipment, and change to it, or stop using the unit.
