6 What s the difference between Wireless DisplayLink and DisplayLink Manager Software? They work together to allow you to project wirelessly: InFocus Wireless DisplayLink creates and manages the wireless connection between your projector and computer. The setup software for Wireless DisplayLink is included on the flash drive that slides out of the Computer Adapter (labeled INSTALL). InFocus DisplayLink Manager Software sends your computer s display to the projector over a wired (USB cable) or wireless DisplayLink connection. The setup software for DisplayLink Manager is built into DisplayLink-enabled projectors. Note: The above software (and related instructions) can also be downloaded from 6
