3.6.6. Dashboard: Network LAN

This page allows you to modify your Wireless Space’s network set-

tings. For a change to take effect, select APPLY at the bottom of the

main area of the Dashboard.

IMPORTANT INFO: Use caution when adjusting the Wireless

Space network settings. Please consult the user manual for the serv-

er, router, or Internet provider to determine how best to manage

devices on the network.

3.6.6.1. IP Address and Remote Access

WAN Interface

Most home and business networks have a DHCP server that man-

ages the IP addresses for all devices. Therefore, the default setting

for all Switch+NAS modes (2. What is the best conﬁguration for

my network?) is DHCP (Fig. 67). If your network does not include a

DHCP server or you intend to create a static IP address for the Wire-

less Space, please make certain to:

✦Establish the static IP address with your server, router, or In-

ternet provider.

✦Fill in all the necessary ﬁelds (Fig. 68).

Dynamic DNS

You can manage your Wireless Space while away from the network.

To access the Dashboard from the ofﬁce, a friend’s house, or any

location with Internet service, enable Dynamic DNS.

Dynamic DNS provides access to your Wireless Space via a URL

name that is easily entered into a web address bar. To begin, you

must create a Dynamic DNS account with a third-party provider.

Please note that there are many companies that offer free remote

access service using Dynamic DNS (see Fig. 69 displaying the pull-

down menu of third-party services from the Dashboard).

Once you have selected a company and created an account on its

web site, enter the pertinent information in the ﬁelds:

✦Full Hostname, Account, and Password

For more information, view LaCie’s screencast tutorial on setting

up Dynamic DNS at: http://www.lacie.com/us/support/faq/faq.

Remote management

In addition to Dynamic DNS, remote access to the Dashboard may

be conﬁgured using HTTP and HTTPS. It is also possible to access

ﬁles stored on the Wireless Space using an FTP address. Enable one

or all options and look to your DHCP server to provide the address-

ing information required to access the Wireless Space from a loca-

tion outside the network. Your router, switch, or Internet provider

must support UPnP IGD and/or NAT-PMP.

Please make certain to have a secure login and password since

anyone can try to log onto an IP address.

data from the Wireless Space hard drive to an attached USB drive.

Auto import

Fig. 72 has two USB hard drives attached to the Wireless Space.

Note that Auto import (Fig. 72, a) has been checked. By checking

this box, the Wireless Space will automatically backup data to its

internal storage once a USB hard drive is attached to one of the

three USB host ports. The backups are not incremental, however,

which means that each Auto import will create a new folder on the

Wireless Space disk drive.

Unmount

It is very important to select UNMOUNT (Fig. 72, b) when discon-

necting an external USB hard disk from one of the three USB host

ports on the Wireless Space. You may unplug the USB device once

it has been removed from the list on the Drives page.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Mac disk format HFS+ Journaled is not sup-

may be necessary to reset the Wireless Space. Before applying any

of the reset options (Fig. 77, a, b, & c), you may save the current

conﬁguration and its settings (Fig. 77, d). If the conﬁguration is par-

ticularly complex, backing up the settings (Wi-Fi access point secu-

rity settings, router settings, etc.) will save time when restoring your

Wireless Space. For example, if you wish to reformat the Wireless

Space internal hard drive but intend to maintain the current conﬁgu-

ration. To backup and restore a conﬁguration:

✦Select SAVE (Fig. 77, d) to backup the settings to your com-

puter or a separate drive before resetting the device. The ﬁle

3.6.10.1. Conﬁguration Basics

Select a pulldown menu to change the Base Mode, Wireless Con-

ﬁguration, and IP Conﬁguration Mode.

✦Base Mode has NAS+Switch and NAS+Router as choices

(Fig. 87). For more information on NAS+Router, see 4.1. Be-

fore the Installation. Switching the Base Mode will have an

effect on the other options due to the differences in function

between a router and a switch.

✦Wireless Conﬁguration Mode is only available when the Base

Mode is NAS+Switch (Fig. 88). The three choices are:

1. No Wireless (Ethernet NAS). Ethernet ports expand the

amount of Ethernet connections to the router or Internet

provider.

2. Wireless Client (Wireless NAS). Wireless network storage

is now available to everyone on the network. In addition,

the Wireless Space becomes a switch for computers and

devices that are not close to the main router or Internet

provider. This conﬁguration does not offer a Wi-Fi access

point for computers or wireless devices to join. The Wi-Fi

connection is made between the Wi-Fi access point (i.e.

Internet provider) and the Wireless Space.

3. Wireless AP (NAS Extender). While this is part of the

NAS+Switch Base Mode, the conﬁguration is considered

Beyond Basic due to Wi-Fi network management. See 4.1.

Before the Installation & 4.2. Conﬁguration 3: Wireless Ac-

cess Point (Switch) for more information.

✦IP Conﬁguration Mode (Fig. 89) lets you select between:

1. DHCP. Since it offers ease of use and convenience, most

homes and businesses have DHCP servers that assign IP

addresses to all the devices on the network. DHCP is high-

ly recommended since it requires very little management of

the Internet provider.

2. IP. If the network does not have a DHCP server or router

to assign IP addresses, select Static in the IP Conﬁguration

Mode pulldown menu (Fig. 89). It is important to know all

the pertinent information for the Static IP ﬁelds (Fig. 90).

When using a Static IP, make certain to know how to ﬁll in the ﬁelds

seen in Fig. 90:

✦IP - your router, switch, or Internet provider has a range of

IP addresses that may be used to join the network. You must

have a valid IP address for the Wireless Space to join a net-

work.

✦Netmask - another critical ﬁeld for communicating with the

network. If your router, switch, or Internet provider has a web-

based administration tool similar to the Dashboard, you can

copy and paste this ﬁeld.

✦Gateway - mandatory to access the WAN (web). If your router,

switch, or Internet provider has a web-based administration

tool similar to the Dashboard, you can copy and paste this

ﬁeld.

✦DNS - check the user manual of your router, switch, or Internet

provider to determine if DNS is required. If your router, switch,

or Internet provider has a web-based administration tool simi-

lar to the Dashboard, you can copy and paste this ﬁeld.

CAUTION: Leaving one ﬁeld empty in the IP Conﬁguration may

prevent the Wireless Space from joining the network. Please see the

user manual for your router, switch, or Internet provider for further

information.

3.6.10.2. Changing the Conﬁguration Example: Wired

Only to Wireless Client

Due to its ﬂexibility as a network switch or router, the Wireless Space

can grow with a network or adapt to different environments. The

initial screenshots in this section are from the simplest conﬁgura-

tion, NAS Ethernet - Wired Only, which is a robust network disk and

a simple switch for Ethernet expansion. Moving to the next Basic

conﬁguration, Wireless Client, requires a few easy changes in the

Mode page.

IMPORTANT INFO: When changing the Wireless Space conﬁgu-

ration, please make certain to read the user manual of your router,

switch, Internet provider, or Wi-Fi access point. You should prepare

all critical information before adjusting the Wireless Space settings.

In Fig. 91, the Mode has been changed to Wireless Client and new

ﬁelds appear to aid in setting up the conﬁguration. To join an exist-

ing Wi-Fi network, enter the SSID (Service Set Identiﬁer; essentially,

the name of the Wi-Fi access point).

No Security

Security may be disabled on some Wi-Fi networks, as Fig. 91 shows.

IMPORTANT INFO: LaCie strongly recommends against using

any access point that does not have at least one level of security.

Security

Most routers, switches, or Internet providers have at least one level

of security. To make the change in conﬁguration as easy as possible,

please take the time to read the user manual of your network router

and/or Wi-Fi access point. For this change on the Mode page, con-

sider the following questions:

✦Security (Fig. 92)

1. What is the name (SSID) of the Wi-Fi access point? In

Wireless Client mode, the Wireless Space accepts letters

(uppercase and lowercase), whole numbers, and the fol-

lowing symbols: . _ % + - = @ #

IMPORTANT INFO: The Wireless Space offers great ﬂexibility

when accepting the SSID of a wireless access point. In the unlikely

event that your wireless access point includes characters not sup-

ported by the Wireless Space, joining the Wi-Fi network cannot be

assured. Please consider searching the user manual for your wireless

access point to determine a solution, such as changing its name for

compatibility with the Wireless Space.

2. Is the security WEP, WPA1, or WPA2?

3. What is the security code for the network? In Wireless Cli-

ent mode, the Wireless Space accepts letters (uppercase

and lowercase) and whole numbers.

4. Does the Wi-Fi access support WPS (Wireless Protected

Setup)? The Wireless Space includes a WPS button (1.4.1.

Front View) that may be pushed to join a compatible WPS

access point. See the user manual of your WPS access

point for more information.

✦IP addressing

1. Does your router and/or Wi-Fi access point act as a DHCP

server?

2. Or, do you require a static IP address? Most Wi-Fi net-

works are DHCP by default, which reduces the need for

management.

3. If static, what is an acceptable IP address? Each network

has a range of addresses that can join it. An example of a

range is 192.168.1.15 to 192.168.1.75.

Simple Steps to a New Conﬁguration

IMPORTANT INFO: While the Wireless Client will extend a Wi-Fi

signal to another room, LaCie recommends running the Setup Wiz-

ard or changing the settings in the Dashboard close to the access

point. It is far easier to manage the installation within proximity of

both devices.

To make the change from No Wireless to Wireless Client (Fig. 93):

1. Keep the Base Mode at NAS+Switch

2. Change the Mode to Wireless client (Wireless NAS)

3. Enter the SSID (the name of the Wi-Fi access point)

4. Choose the Security (WEP or WPA) of the Wi-Fi access point

5. Enter the security code (WEP or WPA password security key of

the wireless access point).

6. Choose the IP Conﬁguration for the network. Fig. 93 shows the

IP Conﬁguration as DHCP while Fig. 94 uses a Static IP address.

In the latter case, the user must know the range of IP addresses

that he may use. For business networks, an administrator choos-

es an available IP address.

(Fig. 95). Select YES.

9. The Dashboard will lose connection with the Wireless Space as

the device executes the change in settings.

10. Disconnect the Ethernet cable from the Wireless Space to the

Ethernet router, switch, or Internet provider. Connect the com-

puter directly to the Wireless Space using any one any one of

the LAN ports. For information on the INTERNET port, see 3.7.

INTERNET Port: NAS+Switch. You may also reach the Dash-

board by Wi-Fi if the computer is using the same access point

and wireless network as the Wireless Space.

11. Please be patient and wait a minute before attempting to re-

launch the Dashboard. Note that the light will change from

green (Wi-Fi inactive) to blue (Wi-Fi active)

12. When the light turns solid blue, reconnect with the Dashboard

(3.4.1. Connect to the LaCie Wireless Space Dashboard using

LaCie Network Assistant & 3.4.2. Connect to the LaCie Wire-

less Space Dashboard directly from the browser) to conﬁrm the

change in conﬁguration.

13. To move the Wireless Space to a new location, shut it down in

the Dashboard (3.6.4. Dashboard: Shut Down or Restart the

Wireless Space). Once off, you may move the Wireless Space,

plug in the power cable (3.1. Connect the Power Supply), and

turn it on (1.5. Power Button Functions).

14. The Wireless Space light will turn solid blue, indicating that the

device is ready for use. With the Wi-Fi network extended, con-

nect devices such as computers or game systems to the Wireless

Space similar to a switch. Please use one of the three ports

marked LAN1, LAN2, or LAN3 on the back of the Wireless

Space (1.4.2. Rear View). DO NOT connect the cable to the

port named INTERNET (1.4.2. Rear View). LaCie recommends

a Gigabit Ethernet cable for optimal performance (1.6. Giga-

bit Ethernet Cables And Connectors). See 3.7. INTERNET Port:

Recovery

The INTERNET port (Fig. 99) is a big help if there are problems

communicating with the Wireless Space using any of the three LAN

ports or via Wi-Fi (NAS+Switch Wireless Client and Wireless Access

Point). Signs of a potential communication problem include:

✦LaCie Network Assistant lists the Wireless Space but the web

browser responds only with errors when typing the name or IP

address in the URL ﬁeld.

✦LaCie Network Assistant does not list the Wireless Space even

though it is properly connected via Ethernet or Wi-Fi.

✦The front light is solid green or blue and the Ethernet lights

in the back are both green or green and yellow, yet the web

browser and/or LaCie Network Assistant cannot reach the

Wireless Space.

✦The browser continues to respond with errors when attempting

to load the Dashboard with the device name or its last known

IP address.

To troubleshoot the Wireless Space using the Recovery function:

1. Disconnect the Wireless Space from all LAN Ethernet ports.

2. Turn off or disconnect from any wireless service on the com-

puter.

3. Conﬁrm that the computer’s network IP address setting is DHCP.

4. Connect a computer directly to the INTERNET port on the back

of the Wireless Space (Fig. 100).

5. Click on the LaCie Network Assistant icon in the menu (Mac) or

system tray (Windows) to ﬁnd the Wireless Space. (Fig. 101).

4. Beyond Basic Install

Beyond Basic conﬁgurations reveal the rich set of features available

to your Wireless Space. You may create a new Wi-Fi b/g/n access

point and a second network for a home or small business. While the

setup is not difﬁcult, there are steps that require some understanding

of your LAN (land area network) as well as how Internet, or WAN

(wide area network ), is delivered to your home or ofﬁce.

The Beyond Basic conﬁgurations maintain their roots in the Basic

section since many of the pages in the Wireless Space Dashboard

do not change. However, there are additional pages in the Dash-

board that target the needs of each mode. Therefore, rather than

repeating the same information, this section will reference the pas-

sages in Basic that pertain to the installation and operation of the

Wireless Space in a Beyond Basic conﬁguration.

Topics covered:

4.1. Before the Installation

3.1. Connect the Power Supply

4.2. Conﬁguration 3: Wireless Access Point (Switch)

4.3. Conﬁguration 4: Router - Wired Only

4.4. Conﬁguration 5: Router Wireless Access Point

3.4. LaCie Network Assistant

4.5. Administering Your LaCie Wireless Space - Beyond Basic

It is important to determine which conﬁguration works best for your

network. Please review 2. What is the best conﬁguration for my net-

work? to ﬁnd the preferred mode for your Wireless Space. With a

conﬁguration in mind, you may set the location for the Wireless

Space before running the Setup Wizard and connecting it to your

network.

MANUAL NOTE: The Beyond Basic section will cover most of the

additional functions integral to the NAS+Switch Wireless Access

Point and Router conﬁgurations. However, there are some advanced

networking features that are not listed in this User Manual since their

use for most customers is limited.

LaCie Wireless Space • DESIGN BY NEIL POULTON Beyond Basic Introduction

User Manual page 67

4.1. Before the Installation

The Wireless Space Setup Wizard is easy to follow as it guides you

through the initial installation. When selecting a wireless conﬁgura-

tions, you must have important Wi-Fi information on hand to make

certain that you do not experience errors while running the Setup

Wizard. Additionally, if you intend to use the Wireless Space as a

router, please consider how it will connect to a WAN and manage

the devices on its own network. Read the items listed below before

starting the Setup Wizard.

All Conﬁgurations:

✦What do you want to name the Wireless Space? The device

name must have 4 to 15 alphanumeric characters and the ﬁrst

character cannot be a number; symbols are not allowed. The

default is WirelessSpace.

✦What is your login? The login must have 2 to 16 alphanu-

meric characters and the ﬁrst character cannot be a number;

symbols are not allowed. The default is admin.

✦What password do you want to use? The password must be

8 to 16 characters; symbols are not allowed. The default is

admin.

Wireless Conﬁgurations (Wireless Access Point (NAS+Switch)

& Router Wireless Access Point):

✦What type of security do you want to use? The Wireless Space

offers WEP, WPA1, and WPA2. You may also choose to have

no security but that would leave your Wi-Fi open to any wire-

less device within range and could pose a threat to your net-

work.

✦What wireless security password do you want to use? WEP re-

quires 10 or 26 hex characters. Hex characters are the letters

A-F and the numbers 0-9. WPA must have 8 to 63 alphanu-

meric characters; symbols are not allowed.

✦What version of 802.11(Wi-Fi speed) do you want to use? The

Wireless Space offers b/g/n.

✦Not all computers, devices, or wireless accessories are com-

patible with all Wi-Fi security and 802.11 protocols. Please

check the user manuals for the devices that will use the Wire-

less Space Wi-Fi network.

Router Conﬁgurations (Router Wired Only & Router Wireless

Access Point)

✦What type of network do you have at the moment? Most

homes, home ofﬁces, and small businesses have an Internet

provider that acts as a DHCP server. Similar to the Wireless

Space Dashboard, many routers, servers, or Internet providers

offer a web-based administration tool to manage the network.

Accessing the administration tool will help to avoid networking

conﬂicts and view critical settings. Please see the user manual

of your router, server, or Internet provider for more informa-

tion.

✦How do you want to integrate the Wireless Space Router? The

Wireless Space can join an existing network while managing a

“sub-network” (the Wireless Space network) of devices. What

IP address do you want to assign the Wireless Space? Similar

to most routers, the default router address for the Wireless

Space is 192.168.1.1. However it may be changed on the

Network LAN page in the Dashboard (4.5.4. Dashboard: Net-

work LAN). The devices on the Wireless Space network will

recognize this address as the router address.

✦The address that joins an existing network is listed in the Wire-

less Space WAN Interface page in the Dashboard (4.5.3.

Dashboard: Network WAN). The Wireless Space WAN inter-

face IP is DHCP by default, but it can be changed to a static

IP or PPPoE (point-to-point protocol over Ethernet). Addressing

must be considered with care in order to avoid IP conﬂicts on

the network.

✦What is the range of IP addresses that you want to use for

devices connected to the Wireless Space? The default is

192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.250.

✦DHCP Server Conﬂicts: Your network most likely receives IP

addresses via a router, server, or Internet provider. The device

that manages the IP addresses is generally referred to as a

DHCP server. The Wireless Space, when conﬁgured as a rout-

er, also assigns IP addresses to all devices using its LAN Eth-

ernet ports and/or wireless access point. Since it could affect

the performance for all devices, a network should not have

two DHCP servers attempting to assign IP addresses. Such a

conﬂict may occur if the Ethernet cable between the router,

server, or Internet provider and the Wireless Space is attached

to one of the LAN ports. When using a router conﬁguration,

the Ethernet cable between the router, server, or Internet pro-

vider and the Wireless Space should connect to the INTERNET

port on the back of the Wireless Space (1.4.2. Rear View). The

WAN interface default setting for the Wireless Space is DHCP

client, which means that your router, server, or Internet pro-

vider should accept it without a conﬂict. However, please see

the user manual of your router, server, or Internet provider for

further details on how it manages devices on the network. If it

is not a DHCP server, you may have to assign a static IP ad-

dress to the Wireless Space before attaching it to the network.

See 4.6. INTERNET Port: NAS+Router for more information

on the INTERNET port and 4.5.3. Dashboard: Network WAN

to learn more on the Wireless Space WAN Interface and how

to assign a static IP address.

✦Devices such as computers and gaming systems use the LAN

ports (1.4.2. Rear View) and/or the Wireless access point to

join the Wireless Space network.

✦Almost all settings may be changed at any time using the

Wireless Space Dashboard.

IMPORTANT INFO: Please note that the Wireless Space has

hardware and software reset features. You may reset the device to

its default conﬁguration so that it is ready to run the Setup Wizard.

See 1.5. Power Button Functions and 3.6.8. Dashboard: Support for

more information.

LaCie Wireless Space • DESIGN BY NEIL POULTON Beyond Basic Install: Setup Wizard

User Manual page 68

4.2. Conﬁguration 3: Wireless

Access Point (Switch)

IMPORTANT INFO: DO NOT attempt to access the Wireless

Space via the web-enabled Dashboard (see 3.6.1. Dashboard: Ac-

cessing) before running the Setup Wizard. During the initial con-

ﬁguration, the Setup Wizard must ﬁnd the Wireless Space on the

network. If the Dashboard has made contact with the device, the

Setup Wizard will not run since it believes the choice of conﬁguration

has already been made. This could be problematic when attaching

the Wireless Space to a network with a router, server, or Internet

provider that assigns IP addresses using DHCP. Most DHCP serv-

ers or devices use the same default settings as the Wireless Space

when it is set to a Router conﬁguration, which can create IP address

conﬂicts on a network.

Please see 2. What is the best conﬁguration for my network? before

preparing your Wireless Space.

4.2.1. Wireless Space Setup Wizard

Preparing for the setup:

✦Do not connect the Wireless Space to your router, switch, or
