One of the
advantages of using the Tablet is the classroom is the ability to work
wirelessly. This requires users to
connect to the projector through the school network.
Make sure your projector is
connected to the school network.
- Make sure your projector is
plugged into an active port.
- When the projector is on, check
the IP Address. The IP Address is projected onto the screen when you
turn on the projector; it’s about ½ down the screen on the left hand side.
- It should start with 172.17.xxx.xxx.
- If it starts with 169.xxx.xxx.xxx then the projector is plugged
into a port that is not active.
- Once the screen is connected to
the network, the projector name and key number will be displayed.
- One way to check to see if you
are in an active port, the card the network cord plugs into is flashing on
the projector. Another Attempt would be to eject the card, and then
plug it back in again.
Connecting to the projector
Open the Epson control program.
- Choose your projector name
(usually matching your classroom number)
- When prompted enter the key
number projected on your screen when you turn on the projector.
- Please note On the IBM ThinkPad
X-61 (2007-2008 Tablets), use the Advanced Connect.
Wireless system setup
- Read the Epson Projector webpage for more information on how the Tablet communicates wirelessly to a network.
Hardwire connection
- When the school’s wireless
network is unavailable, you will have to hardwire your connection.
- On your Tablet press the “Fn”
and the proper function button to change displays “F7” on the HP and
Thinkpad, “F5” on the Toshiba’s.
- Then connect the cable with the
blue ends to the Tablet and Projector.
- Press the Source Search button on your projector.
