Introducing the HP Jetdirect
Network Projector Manager
System Overview
The Jetdirect network projector manager is a network server module that
connects to the USB port of a Jetdirect-compatible HP digital projector to
provide network access to that projector. This enables a system administrator
to monitor and manage this and any other connected projectors from a remote
location. The administrator can use a standard Web browser to manage
individual projectors, or use free HP Web Jetadmin software to manage many
projectors.
The network projector manager includes a USB 2.0 port, and is compatible
with the following networks and projectors:
●Ethernet (IEEE 802.3i 10Base-T) and Fast Ethernet (IEEE 802.3u
100Base-TX) networks. See “Specifications” on page 17 for details about
supported network protocols.
●HP vp6300 series digital projectors (firmware version 2.000 or later), and
newer models of non-mobile HP business projectors. For a list of
compatible projectors, go to www.hp.com/support and look up your
Jetdirect model number.

Setting Up the Module
Connecting the Module
1. Make sure the projector is set up and operating normally.
2. Plug a LAN cable into the server module. The LAN cable must be
connected to a 10Base-T or 100Base-TX Ethernet local area network.
3. Plug the USB cable into the server module and the projector. The wide
connector plugs into the module, and the narrow connector plugs into the
projector.
Note Do not connect the USB cable to any USB hub, converter,
or extender.

4. Plug the power cable from the power module into the server module, then
plug the power module into a power outlet.
5. Check the indicator lights on the server module:
■Thepower/statuslight(2)ontopofthe servermoduleshouldlightsolid
green within 15 seconds to show proper startup. Then it may flicker
irregularly to show network communication.
■OneoftheLANconnectorlights(3)shouldturnontoshowthenetwork
connection speed.
■The USB/projector light (1) on top of the server module should light
solid green to show a good USB connection.
If any of these does not occur, see “Indicator Lights” on page 14.

Mounting the Module (Optional)
You can mount the server module on the projector or on any nearby smooth,
clean surface. The attachment strips separate to allow you to remove the
module temporarily.
1. Decidewheretomounttheservermoduleontheprojectororothersurface:
■Make sure the mounting surface is flat, smooth, and clean.
■Do not block any vents, controls, or access panels on the projector.
■Make sure the cables from the module do not interfere with controls or
access panels on the projector.
2. Peel the backing paper off one side of an attachment strip.
Note Do not separate the two halves of the strip.
3. Attach the strip along the top or bottom edge of the label on the bottom
of the server module. Press firmly to get full adhesion.
Note Do not cover the module’s serial number.
4. Attach the other strip to the opposite edge of the label as described above.
5. Clean the projector or other surface where you intend to mount the
module.

7. Press the module firmly onto the mounting surface so that the attachment
strips adhere properly.
To remove the module, gently pull it away from its mounting surface so that
the halves of the attachment strips separate. To reattach the module, press it
back into place so that the strips reattach.
Note As an alternative, you can mount the module to a wall or

Finding the Network Address
Use the HP projector’s on-screen menu to find the network address assigned
to the server module and projector:
1. Turn on the projector.
2. Open the on-screen menu by pressing the enter or menu button on the
projector or its remote control.
3. Go to the Help screen and find the IP address, which consists of four
numbers separated by dots, such as 10.2.3.4.
