Connecting to a Network

The LT380/LT280 comes standard with a LAN port (RJ-45) which provides a LAN connection using a LAN cable. Placing the optional wireless LAN card (NWL-100*) in the PC card slot of the projector also provides a wireless LAN connection. To use a LAN connection, you are required to assign an IP address to the projector. For setting the LAN mode, see page 86 (From the menu, select [Setup] → [Installation] → [LAN Mode])

With the LAN connection, two features are available: Projector control and Picture transmission.

Projector control feature

With the wired or wireless LAN connection, you can control (power on/off, input select, etc.) and receive information from the projector over the network using a computer. The following two methods are available:

*Using the HTTP Server feature on the projector. (→ page 48)

*Using PC Control Utility 3.0 from the supplied User Supportware 3 CD-ROM.

Picture transmission feature

With the wired or wireless LAN connection, you can send images and slides from a personal computer to the projector which then can be projected on the screen. The following two methods are available:

*Using Image Express Utility 2.0 from the supplied User Supportware 3 CD-ROM.

*Using Ulead Photo Explore 8.0 from the supplied User Supportware 3 CD-ROM.

With the USB mouse connected to the projector, you can also operate the desktop screen on your Windows PC connected to the LAN or the wireless LAN.

* Using Desktop Control Utility 1.0 from the supplied User Supportware 3 CD-ROM.
