Information
  1. Setup the projector:
    a. Insert the Toshiba Wireless PC card that shipped with the projector into the PC card slot located under the smoke-colored plastic cover at the left rear of the projector. The PC card should be inserted into the slot with the white MAC address label facing away from you. To remove the plastic cover, press in slightly on the ribbed area on the cover and slide it to the left. Replace the smoke-colored plastic cover by sliding it back in place on the left rear of the projector.
    b. Plug the AC power cord into the projector and an available wall outlet (100-240VAC 50/60Hz).
    c. Remove the lens cover.
    d. Power on the projector by depressing and releasing the On/Standby button on the top of the projector or the remote control. The lamp takes 17-20 seconds to reach full luminance, so please be patient.
    e. Depress and release the Input button on top of the projector or remote to bring up the Input selection menu, use the up/down navigation buttons on top of the projector to highlight PC Card from the list, and press the Menu button on top of the projector or remote control to make the selection. PCCard is displayed in the upper left corner of the projected image briefly. After this, a wireless PC card will be shown on the projected image indicating the MAC address of the PC card, the Projector name (if present) and a status of "Not connected". This is normal at this time.
  2. Load the Toshiba Data Projector software on your computer:
    a. Insert the Toshiba Data Projector software CD into your CD-ROM drive.
    b. Click Start > My Computer.
    c. Double-click the CD-ROM drive icon.
    d. Double-click the Applications folder.
    e. Double-click Setup.
    f. Click Next to continue the installation.
    g. Click Yes to accept the license agreement.
    h. Click Next to accept the default destination folder for the software (C:\Program Files\Toshiba\Data Projector\).
    i. Setup will display the installation status as the files are copied from the CD to your hard drive.
    j. Click Finish to complete the installation.
  3. Configure the wireless card in your computer. These instructions assume that the driver for your wireless card is already installed and that the only configuration left to do is to configure the TCP/IP settings for the wireless card and the wireless network settings:
    a. Click Start > Control Panel.
    b. Click the Network and Internet Connections link.
    c. Click the Network Connections link.
    d. Verify that the Wireless Network Connection is enabled. The word Enabled will be between the name of the connection and name of the wireless LAN card. If it is Disabled, right-click the Wireless Network Connection and select Enable.
    e. Right-click the Wireless Network Connection and select Properties.
    f. On the General tab, click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) listed under "This connection uses the following items:" to highlight it then click the Properties button.
    g. Click the radio button next to "Use the following IP address:" to choose this option.
    h. Enter an IP address and subnet mask. The IP address must be in the range of 192.168.100.1 to 192.168.100.254, however the fourth number (octet) cannot end in 45 (i.e. 192.168.100.245 would be invalid because it ends in 45). The subnet mask to use is 255.255.255.0
    i. Click OK to accept the settings and close the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties dialog box.
    j. Click the Wireless Networks tab.
    k. Click the Advanced button.

    n. Check the list under Preferred networks for DPJ. If DPJ is listed under Preferred networks continue with step t; otherwise, continue with step o.
    o. Check the list under Available networks for DPJ. If DPJ is listed under Available networks, proceed to step p; otherwise, click the Refresh button.
    p. Click once on DPJ to select it.
    q. Click the Configure button
    r. Uncheck the box next to "Data Encryption (WEP Enabled). Leave all other settings in this dialog box alone.
    s. Click OK to accept the settings and close the Wireless Network Properties dialog box.
    t. Click OK to close the Wireless Network Connection Properties dialog box. Note: There will be slight pause after Close is clicked as the wireless connection is initialized.

  4. Launch the Wireless Utility:
    a. Double-click the Wireless Utility icon on the Windows XP desktop or click Start > All Programs > Toshiba Data Projector > Wireless Utility. Available projectors within range will be listed under Projector.
    b. From within this utility you can perform the following tasks: 1) send a screen image to the projector, 2) send a JPEG image file (*.jpg, *.jpe) to the projector, or send a captured image taken with the document camera (not available on models without the document camera) and send it to your computer. Please see your Owner's Manual for details on using the Wireless Utility.
