Chapter 1 - Introduction The WiJET is an 802.11b®compliant product designed specifically for wirelessly connecting projectors and monitors to computers. It connects to the existing VGA connector of the projector/monitor and offers 802.11b® connectivity up to 11Mbps. The advantages of the WiJET become obvious in any conference room where the ideal location of the projector or display screen makes it difficult for a laptop or desktop to connect to it while allowing the speaker to maintain audience interest.

To reboot the WiJET, A light tap is all that is required. To reset the WiJET back to the factory settings, follow the steps below: 1. Turn on WiJET or reboot the WiJET 2. When the banner shows up, you now have 10 seconds to do step 3 3. Insert a pin or unbent paper clip into the hardware reboot location.
Insert the Installation Disc in your computer’s CD-ROM drive. The install program should then auto-start. Click “Cancel” and then “exit setup” to stop the installation of the WiJET PSM utility. Click on “Start”, “Run”, and then type in “x:\” where x is the drive letter of your CD-ROM. Click on the “Administration” folder and double click on “setup.exe”. Follow the instruction that comes up on each of the windows during the installation process.
Chapter 3 – Using the WiJET Using the WiJET in a Meeting The most important benefit of replacing a VGA cable with a wireless connection in using a presentation projector or monitor is to enable fast handover of the projector or monitor control among multiple meeting participants. The WiJET Presentation Session Manager (PSM) is a simple user interface allowing quick rotation of presentation among multiple presenters.
The steps below will detail how to connect to the WiJET either using the automatic wireless device configuration (only for WiFi cards with a driver supporting MAC I/O), or to configure your WiFi device manually. WiJET Presentation Session Manager When the WiJET is first turned on, it will undergo a boot up sequence that results in a banner screen with two important pieces of information. On the top left hand corner will be a name like WiJET0001 or WiJET0005.
Figure 3 Right Clicking the PSM icon will give you a submenu A window should appear like the window in Figure 4. There are 4 action buttons in the PSM: “Select”, “Connect”, “Stop”, and “Cancel”. Clicking “Cancel” simply makes the PSM vanish from your Desktop. The other 3 action buttons are described below.
1) Use the automatic configuration utility unless your operating system is Windows 98 2) If the automatic configuration succeeds, you are ready to use the WiJET! 3) If the automatic configuration fails, manually configure your wireless adaptor. For Windows 98 users, please see the section “Manually Configuring the Wireless Adaptor”. For XP users, please see the section “Configuring the Wireless Adaptor for Windows XP”.
Figure 6 Using the up and Down arrows on the Drop Down window The WiJET number to select appears on the upper left corner of the WiJET-ready banner page on the projector/monitor screen in your meeting room. It is important that you make this proper determination as there may be other WiJETs operating in the vicinity. When you have selected your WiJET number, simply click OK. You will see a “Configuring Device” message show up on the WiJET Select window.
Figure 8 Automatic setup not available Manually Configuring the Wireless Adaptor Looking at the banner page on the projector/monitor screen in your meeting room, determine the SSID that the WiJET is currently set on. The SSID that the WiJET is on is displayed on the top left hand corner of the screen and is in the format of WiJET000x, where x is a number from 1 – 9.
If your system tray looks like the figure shown in Figure 9, your wireless card is natively supported under Windows XP and you should read the rest of this section as it will instruct you in how to connect your wireless adaptor to the WiJET under Windows XP. If you do not have the addition Wireless Network Connection icon in your system tray, you should see if you have some sort of Wireless configuration utility in your system tray instead, as in Figure 10.
Figure 12 Network Properties for Wireless Adaptors Click on the “Wireless Networks” tab and you should see a figure like Figure 13. Figure 13 Wireless Networks tab.
Here you will find the various networks that your wireless card has been able to detect. To allow for a connection to the WiJET, you must click the “Advanced” button. A figure like Figure 14 should appear. Figure 14 Advanced Network Settings Window Set the configuration to be “Computer-to-computer (ad hoc) networks only” and click the “Close” button. Take note of the Preferred Networks area. You should see only ad hoc networks now as in Figure 15.
Start or Resume Your WiJET Presentation Session Once you have successfully configured the wireless card to connect to the WiJET, either manually or automatically, and when it is your turn to make a presentation, click “Connect” and you should find yourself connected to the WiJET. There will be no confirmation window alerting you that your connection is live, and your projector or monitor should now display your Desktop.
Chapter 4 – Using the Web Based Utility Introducing the Web Based Utility Along with the software based utility that is available on the install CD, the WiJET also has a Web Based Utility that allows you to configure other aspects of the WiJET. This includes the initial banner page that you see when the WiJET is first powered. Accessing the Web Based Utility There are two ways of accessing the Web Based Utility.
Select from the WiJET list the WiJET number and click “OK”. There should be a message that states “Configuring your Wireless Card” before a “Setup Completed” window appears. Click OK on the Setup Completed window and click on connect. A web browser should appear and you should be prompted with a User Name and Password.
Figure 20 WiJET Web Utility Screen There are several details worthy of notice on this webpage and it shall be explained below in greater detail. WiJET Firmware Version This is the current WiJET firmware version. It is important when you are calling or emailing tech support to know which WiJET firmware version you have.
This is the configuration screen where you set the security for the WiJET. The description of each feature is as detailed below. WEP enabled: This check box allows users to enable or disable WEP feature. The WiJET currently supports only the default (shared) WEP key scheme defined in the 802.11 standard, not the mapped key scheme. A set of four keys needs to be created in the default-key scheme. WEP key length: The 64-bit encryption is currently the 802.11 standard.
Administration When you click on the Administration hyperlink, you will see the following page as on Figure 22. Figure 22 Administration Screen page User Name: This is where you can change the default user name of “Admin” into something else you desire. The character limit is 16 characters for this field. Enter New Password: This allows you to change the password of the WiJET. The default is “public”, but you can change it to anything you like. Character limits on the password is also 16 characters.
Firmware and Banner Page Upload When you click on the Firmware and Banner Page hyperlink, you should see the following page appear. Figure 23 Firmware and Banner Page Upload Upload Options: To select which functionality you wish to perform on the WiJET, whether it is a firmware upload or a Banner page upload. Select which of the two options you wish to select and check the appropriate selection circle.
Chapter 5 – Troubleshooting Connect Status shows up but the WiJET only displays the banner screen If you see this screen (Figure 24) for an extended period of time, with the connect bar increasing, then you will most likely not be able to connect to the WiJET. Figure 24 Unable to Connect to the WiJET symptoms Eventually, you should see the screen as in Figure 25 Figure 25 Target Not Found There are several causes for this. 1) The computer’s WiFi adaptor’s SSID is not set up to be the same as the WiJET’s.
4) With certain brands of PCMCIA 802.11b WiFi cards, it might take a bit longer to link up with the WiJET than with other brands of PCMCIA cards. The reason for this is that the drivers and features set of each brand might cause the link up time between the WiJET and the computer to take longer. Simply click “Retry” as you see on Figure 15 and let the Connect Status screen show up again. If the “Target Not Found” window appears again, there probably is no link established between the WiJET and the computer.
