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 following simple steps sketch out how a successful WiJET Wireless
Presentation Meeting unfolds:
1. Copies of the installation CD are kept with the WiJET in the meeting room. The
meeting host, before the presentations start, identifies the meeting participants
who do not yet have the WiJET Presentation Session Manger installed on their
computers and hands them the installation CD’s. The installation is automatic and
does not require rebooting the computer.
2. The meeting host asks all meeting participants to establish a wireless connection
to the WiJET before the meeting starts. Most participants can accomplish this by
clicking just one button (“Select”, see below). This wireless connection is kept
alive throughout the meeting even if only one presenter can use the projector or
monitor at a given time. Confirming wireless connections before the meeting
starts assures a smooth presentation session.
3. At any given time, by clicking just one button (“Connect”, see below) in the PSM,
one designated presenter can start the presentation and exclude other presenters
from using the projector/monitor.
4. At the click of one button (“Stop”, see below) in the PSM, the incumbent
presenter yields the floor (the projector/monitor) to another presenter while still
maintaining a live wireless link to the WiJET.
5. At the click of one button (“Connect, see below) in the PSM, a waiting presenter,
owing to the already established wireless link, can instantaneously take over the
projector/monitor.
The normal meeting etiquettes have to be followed to determine how the control of the
projector/monitor should be rotated among presenters. The WiJET and its PSM make the
rotation easy and quick and thereby make the meeting dynamic.
Configuring your Computer to control the WiJET
The WiJET is designed to be in the “Ad-Hoc” mode instead of the “Infrastructure” mode.
This means you have to configure your Wireless card to connect to the WiJET, but do not
have to change any of your network settings (IP address, etc.).
