Wireless projection

Introduction

This section will introduce wireless projection function for this projector. The wireless projection function is only available for the model which is equipped with integrated Acer Wireless Presentation Gateway (WPG) module. Acer WPG enables multiple users to connect to an Acer projector wirelessly. This eliminates the need to plug and unplug cables, enabling more efficient use of meeting time, especially when there is more than one presenter in a meeting.

To perform wireless projection, you have to change the input source type to "Wireless" by pressing the "Wireless" button on the remote control or the "Source" button on the control panel or remote control.

System Requirements:

- Operating system: Windows® 2000 or Windows® XP

- CPU: Intel® Pentium® III at 750 MHz or equivalent with 128 MB of RAM

- Wireless LAN: IEEE 802.11b/g enabled

- Internet Browser: Internet Explorer 5.0 or above

I/O Interface:

WIRELESS Antenna STATUS RESET AUDIO OUT LAN RS-232 1 2 3 4 5

1 Antenna connector For attaching the external antenna.
2 Status LED Indicates the WPG's status.

3 Reset button A quick press on the the Reset button will reset the WPG without changing any user's settings. Press and hold Reset button for more than 4 seconds to reset the WPG to its factory default settings.

4 Audio-out jack For outputting audio signals received wirelessly from the PC.

5 RJ-45 Ethernet jack For connecting the WPG to the Internet via a LAN.

Setting up your WPG

Check the LED for the power status.

• Red indicates that the WPG is receiving power, but is inactive.
• Green indicates that the WPG is being used to project images.

You may also like to connect a LAN cable to the LAN (RJ-45) port on the side of the dongle. This will allow you to connect to the Internet to retrieve interactive content or download firmware upgrades as they become available.

Connecting to the WPG for the first time

If this is the first time you've connected to the WPG, you will need to download and install the driver from the WPG. The software is stored on the WPG, so there is no need for an installation CD. Ensure that you have administrator-level permission on your computer so that you can install the software.

To download the software, you must ensure that your browser is set to open up a website. If your browser is set to open with a blank page, you will not be able to download the software. To check this, select Tools > Internet Options. Ensure that there is a website in the text box.

Connecting to a projector

Once you've installed the software, you will be able to connect to any projector that is equipped with the Acer WPG. To connect to a projector, simply double-click the Acer WPG icon on your desktop to launch the application.

Acer eProjection Management acer Empowering Technology Configure About Acer eProjection Management Wireless Projection Information AcerWireless Gateway-0 Wireless status: Connected Connection speed: 24 Mbps Signal strength: 100% Switch Projectors Projector status: Projecting Resolution: 1024 x 768 pixels Color depth: 15 bit Display Settings Disconnect Projection Control Hide Ctrl+Shift+H Freeze Ctrl+Shift+F Projector Remote Control Hotkey Explanation

The application will automatically detect available WPGs. Each WPG is identifiable by the "AcerProjector" indicator in the SSID. If the projector is installed in a permanent location, you may also choose to assign a specific SSID to that projector, indicating, for example, the number of the room in which the projector is installed (refer to "Configuration" later in this guide).

If there are multiple WPGs within the range of your notebook's receiver (they may be in different rooms), and the feature is enabled (refer to "Configuration" later in this guide), you will be able to identify the correct one by the "Projector ID" indicated in the top left-hand corner of the projected screen. The Projector ID consists of four randomly-generated numbers. Entering these numbers into the WPG application on your notebook will restrict your connection to only that projector.

Only one user can use the WPG at any time; if another user wishes to use the projector, you will need to click Disconnect to stop using the projector, and allow someone else to use the projector.

Using the audio function

If "Wireless" is selected as the input source, you can play audio content through the internal speakers of the projector. You can also plug external speakers into the WPG's audio-out jack for better audio quality.

Your audio driver may have different terminology for some of the settings required below.

If you wish to use the WPG's audio features, please ensure that none of the audio settings is muted.

To set up the audio, you must perform the following steps:

1) Open the Windows® audio controls by double-clicking on the speaker icon in the task tray.
2) Select Options > Properties .
