Setting up the wireless LAN
■Functions
◆Infrastructure communication mode
The following functions are available via wireless communications, when the wireless LAN USB adapter and dedicated Wireless Utility software p.63 included with this projector are used.
Note: A wireless LAN USB adapter except the supplied one (or recommended by Toshiba) does not work with this product. Please ask your dealer about the available wireless LAN USB adapter.
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 |
on a computer can also be sent to the projector. |
To LAN, Internet, etc.
Hub
Wireless LAN access point
A mixed wireless and wired LAN can be created via wireless LAN access points. (Communication between wireless LAN devices is also allowed.)
Connecting to the rest of the world via a wired LAN or the Internet generally requires a high level of security.
2) | Displaying an image saved on a computer via the projector |
| 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. |
3) | Displaying an image file saved on a computer via the projector |
| Video files can be sent to the projector for image display. As well, the sound stored in |
| the video file is sent to the projector. |
4) | Operating the projector by means of a computer |
| Some of the same functions available from the remote control can be performed. |
Use the appropriate transmission mode for your network environment.
■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 equip- ment, and change to it, or stop using the unit.
■Communication mode
This projector supports both Ad hoc and Infrastructure Communication modes.
◆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.
Operations
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.
