with a wireless (802.11g, 802.11b, or 802.11a) network card 
or adapter, or a Macintosh with an AirPort

®

 or AirPort 

Extreme card. When you connect to the projector in this 
mode, your connection to other wireless networks or devices 
is broken; you can connect to the projector only. 

❏ Access Point mode (infrastructure mode) lets multiple 

computers access the projector at the same time and easily 
trade off control of the projector. To use Access Point mode, 
you need a wireless (802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g) access 
point or an AirPort Extreme (or AirPort) base station, and 
one or more computers with wireless network cards or 
adapters. 

Follow the instructions below for the mode you want to use. 

Note: To connect to the projector over a wireless network, your 
computer must be running Windows 2000 or XP. Your Mac must be 
running Mac OS X 10.3 or later.

Access Point mode (infrastructure mode) is required to achieve 
transfer speeds up to 54Mbp/s on an 802.11a/g network. Ad Hoc 
mode (computer-to-computer mode) limits network connections to 
11Mbp/s. This is a standard specification of 802.11g networking.

To use Ad Hoc (computer-to-computer) mode, adjust your 
projector and wireless card or adapter settings as described in 
this section.
