as on your computer. See the Notices section in the
Administrator’s Manual for details.
Connecting to Your Network
To use your projector’s network features, you need to have a
Microsoft network running TCP/IP. Connect the projector to
your network and insert its memory card, as described below.
1. Connect the projector using a standard (Category 5 UTP)
network cable. Plug it into the RJ45 connector on the back
of the projector as shown:
2. Make sure the projector’s memory card is installed. (The
projector comes with a 16-megabyte CompactFlash

card,
but you can purchase larger-size cards. The projector also
supports ATA flash cards and ATA HDD cards.)
If necessary, place the memory card in the card adapter:
Insert the card into the PCMCIA slot on the projector:
Configuring the Projector to the Network
You can follow the steps below to set up the projector if all
systems that need to access it are on the same subnet. For
other network configurations, or to give the projector access to
shared drives on remote PCs, see the Administrator’s Manual.
1. Connect a USB mouse and USB keyboard to the projector’s
USB ports, as shown below.
If you don’t have a USB mouse, you can use the projector’s

don’t have a USB keyboard, you can use the projector’s
software keyboard; see the Administrator’s Manual for details.
