Acer WP100

Connecting to a projector

Once you’ve installed the software, you will be able to connect to any 
projector that is equipped with the Acer WPG. To connect to a projector, 
simply double-click the Acer WPG icon on your desktop to launch the 
application.

The application will automatically detect available WPGs. Each WPG 
is identifiable by the "AcerWirelessGateway-" indicator in the SSID. If 
the projector is installed in a permanent location, you may also choose 
to assign a specific SSID to that projector, indicating, for example, 
the number of the room in which the projector is installed (refer to 
"Configuration" later in this guide).

If there are multiple WPGs within the range of your notebook's receiver 
(they may be in different rooms), and the feature is enabled (refer to 
"Configuration" later in this guide), you will be able to identify the 
correct one by the "Projector ID" indicated in the top left-hand corner 
of the projected screen. The Projector ID consists of four randomly-
generated numbers. Entering these numbers into the WPG application on 
your notebook will restrict your connection to only that projector.

Only one user can use the WPG at any time; if another user wishes to 
use the projector, you will need to click 

Disconnect

 to stop using the 

projector, and allow someone else to use the projector.
