Configuring the Monitoring Interval

You can select how often EMP Monitor checks the projector status:

Note:

If you want EMP Monitor to run whenever you start your computer, click Add to Startup.

2. Select the desired update interval and click OK.

Understanding the Notification Messages

If a projector experiences a problem, it can send an e-mail message to each of the addresses you provided using EMP NetworkManager. The message includes the heading “Epson Projector” in the subject line. The body of the message contains the name of the projector, the projector’s IP address, and a description of the problem. The problem descriptions are similar to the errors reported by EMP Monitor listed on page 19.

If a plus (+) sign appears before the description, it indicates that a problem has occurred. A minus (–) sign appears when the problem is resolved.

Note:

If a projector develops a critical problem, it may not be possible for it to report the error.

Projector Status Lights

The lights on top of the projector indicate the projector’s status and let you know when a problem occurs.
