Chapter 6: Using The Control
Utility of the Presentation Player
The control utility may be used from any wired or wireless notebook or desk-
top PC with a connection to the Wireless Presentation Player. It is a good idea
to place the Wireless Presentation Player on or near the monitor or projection
area. The Infrared sensor is located on the front panel of the unit and the
remote control must be in line-of-sight in order to function properly.
Make sure that the Presentation Player is connected to the projector or monitor
and that both devices are powered on. Click on the Presentation Player
Control Utility button on the screen that appears.
1. The welcome screen will appear
first. Click Next.
If the screen in Figure 6-2
appears, try these steps:
1. Turn off the Presentation
Player and projector, then
turn them back on.
2. Click the Search Again but-
ton. Try this at least three
times.
3. If the Presentation Player still
cannot be found, continue to
steps 4 and 5.
4. The Presentation Player set-
tings will appear at the bot-
tom of the projector screen.
5. Manually enter the proper IP
address, subnet mask, SSID,
and channel information to
the wireless adapter in your
notebook or desktop.
