Monitoring and Controlling Projectors via a Network (for the EMP-7900)
You can monitor the status of the projector and control operations such as
turning the power on and off from a computer via a network.
Available Network Functions for the EMP-7900
The EMP-7900 is compatible with SNMPg.
In addition, you can use the software that is included with the projector for
centralised control of projectors and to receive notifications of problems
via e-mail.
You can use SNMP to monitor and control the status of the projector from
a computer.
The management functions that are available when using SNMP require
SNMP manager program to be installed on the computer. Because of this,
management using SNMP should always be carried out by somebody who
is familiar with computer networks such as a network administrator.
The Projector Software CD-ROM supplied with the projector contains the
following two software programs. These programs can be used to carry out
the following network monitoring and control tasks.
• EMP Monitor
This software is used to monitor the status of multiple projectors that are
connected to a network by means of a list on the computer screen, and to
control the projectors all at once by carrying out operations such as
turning the power for the projectors on or off. It allows multiple
projectors on a network to be monitored and controlled by a single
operator.
• EMP NetworkManager
This program lets you make network settings for projectors from
configuration menus using a remote control. However, you can use the
keyboard of a computer for direct address entry when using EMP
NetworkManager, so that network settings can be carried out easily. In
addition, EMP NetworkManager can be used to make settings for the
mail notification function, so that notifications of problems with projector
operation can be sent via e-mail to preset e-mail addresses when such
problems occur.
Carry out the following operations in the order listed in order to set up
monitoring and control of projectors via a network.
1.Use the Projector Software CD-ROM to install the software to be
used into the computer. p.99
2.Connect the projector to the network using the a network cable.
p.101
3.Use the projector's configuration menus to make the required
network settings. p.101
4.Use the computer to monitor and control the projector.
