This page allows you to modify your Wireless Space’s network settings. 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 server, 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 manages 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 Wireless Space, please make certain to:
Fig. 67
✦✦ Establish the static IP address with your server, router, or Internet 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 pulldown menu of third-party services from the Dashboard).
Fig. 68
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 addressing information required to access the Wireless Space from a location 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.

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 particularly complex, backing up the settings (Wi-Fi access point security 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 configuration. To backup and restore a configuration:
✦✦ Select SAVE (Fig. 77, d) to backup the settings to your computer or a separate drive before resetting the device. The file
name will resemble something like: “db_2010-02-22_11-3731.dat”. Note the location of the file on your computer.
✦✦ Once the reset is finished, you can skip the Setup Wizard and
load the backed up configuration.
1. Choose the Support page and Configuration tab in the
Dashboard.
2. Click RESTORE (Fig. 77, d) and browse for the configuration file on your computer. Select SEND to load the configuration.
✦✦ Please note that the Wireless Space will be restored to its
default settings after a reset, which means an IP address of
192.168.1.1 and the configuration NAS Router (see 1.9. Default Settings). Make certain to disconnect the Wireless Space
from a router, switch, or Internet provider before attempting
to access the Dashboard. The connection should remain between the computer and the Wireless Space when attempting

3.6.10.1. Configuration Basics
Select a pulldown menu to change the Base Mode, Wireless Configuration, 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. Before 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.
Fig. 87
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.

✦✦ 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 highly 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 network.
Fig. 89
✦✦ Netmask - another critical field for communicating with the
network. If your router, switch, or Internet provider has a webbased 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 similar 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 configuration, 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 configuration, 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 existing 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, consider 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 following 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 supported 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 Client 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 networks 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 Wizard 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)
Fig. 93
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 chooses an available IP address.

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 Dashboard that target the needs of each mode. Therefore, rather than
repeating the same information, this section will reference the passages in Basic that pertain to the installation and operation of the
Wireless Space in a Beyond Basic configuration.

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
User Manual
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 configurations, 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 alphanumeric 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 wireless device within range and could pose a threat to your network.
✦✦ What wireless security password do you want to use? WEP requires 10 or 26 hex characters. Hex characters are the letters
A-F and the numbers 0-9. WPA must have 8 to 63 alphanumeric 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 compatible with all Wi-Fi security and 802.11 protocols. Please
check the user manuals for the devices that will use the Wireless 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 information.
✦✦ 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
Beyond Basic Introduction
page 67
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: Network 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 Wireless Space WAN Interface page in the Dashboard (4.5.3.
Dashboard: Network WAN). The Wireless Space WAN interface 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 router, also assigns IP addresses to all devices using its LAN Ethernet 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 provider 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 provider 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 address 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.

User Manual
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: Accessing) before running the Setup Wizard. During the initial configuration, 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 servers 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.
