Presenting Through a Wireless Network 61
Configuring the Connection
You can use NS Connection to connect to the projector and send
images wirelessly in two modes: Ad Hoc mode or Access Point mode.
■ Ad Hoc mode (computer-to-computer mode) lets you connect
just one computer to the projector at a time; it’s easy to set up,
and the only equipment you need is a computer with a wireless
(802.11g, 802.11b, or 802.11a) network card or adapter, or a
Macintosh
®
with an AirPort
®
or AirPort Extreme card. When
you connect to the projector in this mode, your connection to
other wireless networks or devices is broken; you can connect to
the projector only.
■ Access Point mode (infrastructure mode) lets multiple computers
access the projector at the same time and easily trade off control
over the projector. To use Access Point mode, you need a wireless
(802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g) access point or an AirPort
Extreme (or AirPort) base station, and one or more computers
with wireless network cards or adapters.
Follow the instructions below for the mode you want to use.
Using Ad Hoc Mode
To use Ad Hoc (computer-to-computer) mode, adjust your projector
and wireless card or adapter settings as described in this section.
Configuring the Projector
1. Press the Menu button, then choose Network and press Enter.
2. Choose
Network Configuration and press Enter.
3. Choose
Wireless LAN and press Enter.
note
Make sure you’ve installed
the NS Connection software
as described on page 199.
To connect to the projector
over a wireless network, your
computer must be running
Windows 2000, XP, or
Vista. Your Mac
®
must be
running Mac OS X 10.3 or
later. See page 199 for
complete system
requirements for projecting
wirelessly.
Access Point mode
(infrastructure mode) is
required to achieve transfer
speeds up to 54MB/sec on an
802.11g network. Ad Hoc
mode (computer-to-
computer mode) limits
network connections to
11MB/sec. This is a
standard specification of
802.11g networking.
