•Automatic Rate Selection •RTS/CTS feature •Fragmentation •Power Management

4.The Presentation Player’s Control Utility cannot detect the Presentation Player.

Verify that the Presentation Player’s power is on and all of your wireless equipment complies with the 802.11g standard and if you are connecting to the Presentation Gateway with a network cable, check the cable connection to the Presentation Player. Make sure the Presentation Player's IP Address and PC are in the same range.
