Introduction to Epson Projector Management See the information here to learn more about Epson Projector Management software. Epson Projector Management Features

Epson Projector Management Features Epson Projector Management allows you to check the status of multiple networked projectors and perform various projector operations from your computer. Monitoring the status of projectors

You can visually check projector information such as power status, errors, and warnings so you are alerted to projector abnormalities immediately. You can also select individual projectors or projector groups to check detailed information such as the usage hours of the projector light source, the current input source, and any current errors or warnings.

Controlling the projectors You can turn projectors on or off, or change input sources for individual projectors or projector groups. You can schedule various projector events to occur automatically on the specified date and time.

Sending email notification You can set up the projector to send you an email alert over the network if there is a problem with the projector.

Message Broadcasting You can distribute images or text messages to multiple projectors for simultaneous display on those projectors.

Monitoring and controlling non-Epson projectors using the PJLink protocol You can monitor and control projectors that support the PJLink protocol.

Solving Problems See the following sections to check for solutions to problems you may have using Epson Projector Management. Solving Network Connection Problems Solving Monitoring and Controlling Problems

Solving Network Connection Problems Try these solutions depending on your network environment. Solutions When You Cannot Connect Projectors Using Advanced Connection Mode (Wired) Solutions When You Cannot Connect Projectors Using Advanced Connection Mode (Wireless) Parent topic: Solving Problems

Solutions When You Cannot Connect Projectors Using Advanced Connection Mode (Wired)

When you cannot connect the computer and the projector using Advanced Connection Mode over a wired network, try the following solutions. If you cannot resolve the problem, contact your network administrator. Check the status of the external devices used for the network connection or the environment in which

the network devices and the projector are located. Connect the network cable securely.

Note: Use a commercially available 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T LAN cable. To prevent malfunctions, use a category 5 or higher shielded LAN cable.

Check the projector's network settings. Set DHCP to Off. When DHCP is set to On, it may take some time to enter LAN standby status if an

available DHCP server is not found. Set the IP address, the subnet mask, and the gateway address for the projector correctly. Close network settings on the projector, and then return to the LAN standby screen.

39

Check the computer's network settings. Enable LAN settings on your computer. Turn off the firewall. If you do not want to turn it off, register the firewall as an exception. Make the

necessary settings to open the port. The port used by this software is "56181" (TCP). Parent topic: Solving Network Connection Problems Related tasks Setting Up a Projector to Connect in Advanced Connection Mode (Wired)

Solutions When You Cannot Connect Projectors Using Advanced Connection Mode (Wireless)

When you cannot connect the computer and the projector using Advanced Connection Mode over a wireless network, try the following solutions. If you cannot resolve the problem, contact your network administrator. Check the status of the external devices used for the network connection or the environment in which

the network devices and the projector are located. Connect the specified wireless LAN unit to the projector securely. See your projector User's Guide

for more details. Check for any obstacles between the access point and the computer or projector, and change their

position to improve communication. Sometimes, indoor environments prevent the projector from being found in a search.

Make sure that the access point and the computer or projector are not too far apart. Move them closer together and try to connect again.

Check for interference from other equipment, such as a Bluetooth device or microwave. Move the interfering device farther away or expand your wireless bandwidth.

Set the radio strength for the network devices to the maximum. Set the IP address, the subnet mask, and the gateway address for the access point correctly. Make sure the wireless LAN system of the access point supports the projector's wireless LAN

system. Check the projector's network settings.

Set the Connection Mode setting to Advanced. Set the computer, the access point, and the projector to the same SSID.
