Can the Internet be accessed while projecting through the Wireless PC2TV InternetVue 2100?

The Internet can be accessed either through the computer, the Wireless PC2TV InternetVue 2100, or a wireless access point (if one already exists while being projected onto the display).

If the Internet is accessed via the Wireless PC2TV InternetVue 2100, it is advised that the Ethernet cable be connected to the Wireless PC2TV InternetVue 2100 before it is powered up.

Note the following special cases:

The Ethernet port on the board can have DHCP enabled or STATIC addresses. This can be accomplished from within the Wireless PC2TV InternetVue 2100 application.

Port 80 should be open on the LAN to allow access to the Internet.

Port 21 should be open on the LAN to allow Wireless PC2TV InternetVue 2100 firmware updates.

The DHCP allocation range is 10.0.0.2 through 10.0.0.254 (IP/subnet of Wireless PC2TV InternetVue 2100 Ethernet port should be different than 10.0.0.x).

The Wireless PC2TV InternetVue 2100 Ethernet port has a ‘dummy’ MAC address by default. During the manufacturing process, each device is programmed with a unique MAC address. This is necessary to avoid MAC address conflict and improper operation of the device. Note that with a dummy MAC address, there may be some computers which may not be able to connect to the device.
