LaCie Wireless Space • DESIGN BY NEIL POULTON Beyond Basic Install: Setup WizardUser Manual page 7413. The default router IP address for the Wireless Space is now 192.168.1.1. If your router or Internet provider is prepared to add the Wireless Space to the network, move to step 14. If you are unsure or must change the IP address: ✦You may maintain the Ethernet connection between your com-puter and the Wireless Space. However, do not connect the Wireless Space to the server, router, or Internet provider be-fore considering DHCP server conﬂicts. ✦DHCP Server Conﬂicts: Your network most likely receives IP addresses via a router, server, or Internet provider. The de-vice 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. Since it could affect the performance for all devices, a network should not have two DHCP servers at-tempting 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 Wire-less Space should connect to the INTERNET port on the back of the Wireless Space (Fig. 119). 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 Wire-less Space before attaching it to the network. See 4.6. INTER-NET 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. For an example on how to avoid IP conﬂicts, see 4.5.4.1. Avoiding Router IP Address Conﬂicts: Example ✦Devices such as computers and gaming systems use the LAN ports (Fig. 120) to join the Wireless Space network. LaCie rec-ommends a Gigabit Ethernet cable for optimal performance (1.6. Gigabit Ethernet Cables And Connectors). 14. Install LaCie Network Assistant (see 3.4. LaCie Network Assis-tant). 15.

LaCie Wireless Space • DESIGN BY NEIL POULTON Beyond Basic Install: Setup WizardUser Manual page 754.4. Conﬁguration 5: Router Wireless Access Point 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. 4.4.1. Wireless Space Setup WizardPreparing for the setup: ✦Do not connect the Wireless Space to your router, switch, or Internet provider via Ethernet. ✦Quit the applications running on your computer, especially those having to do with Internet connectivity (web browsers, email, etc.) ✦If your computer is connected to the router, switch, or Inter-net provider via Ethernet, please disconnect the end from the router, switch, or Internet provider. ✦LaCie recommends that you disconnect from Wi-Fi networks while running the Wireless Space Setup Wizard. You may re-connect to a Wi-Fi once the setup is ﬁnished.1. Connect the power cable to the Wireless Space (see 3.1. Con-nect the Power Supply) and turn the device on (1.5. Power But-ton Functions).

LaCie Wireless Space • DESIGN BY NEIL POULTON Beyond Basic Install: Setup WizardUser Manual page 7914. The default router IP address for the Wireless Space is now 192.168.1.1. If your router or Internet provider is prepared to add the Wireless Space to the network, move on to step 15. If you are unsure or must change the IP address: ✦You may maintain the Ethernet connection between your com-puter and the Wireless Space. However, do not connect the Wireless Space to the server, router, or Internet provider be-fore considering DHCP sever conﬂicts. ✦DHCP Server Conﬂicts: Your network most likely receives IP addresses via a router, server, or Internet provider. The de-vice 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 WLAN (wireless land area network; devices that connect via the Wi-Fi 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 (Fig. 129) on the back of the Wireless Space. The WAN interface default setting for the Wireless Space is DHCP cli-ent, 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 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.

Click on the name of the page to view all of the Wi-Fi access point settingsb. The widget displays the basic Wi-Fi access point settingsc. The Mode widget indicates the current conﬁgurationThe Wireless AP page has four tabs that provide detailed informa-tion on the Wireless Space Wi-Fi. It is a great resource to conﬁrm settings or to make changes. 4.5.1.1. Wireless AP - Standard SettingsThe ﬁrst tab is Standard Settings (Fig. 132), which is broken into three categories:a. Basic settings ✦Enabled - This box will be checked by default with a Wi-Fi network. Deselect the check box to turn the Wi-Fi off. When turned off, the Dashboard will close and the light will turn green. ✦Mode, Channel, and Radio Band - Pulldown menus (Fig. 133) to change the speed, channel, or band of the Wi-Fi. Make adjustments based upon the needs of the devices (speed or 802.11b/g/n compatibility) on the Wi-Fi network and the area (i.e. a different channel if the default is creating or expe-riencing interference). ✦SSID - The name given to the Wi-Fi for devices to recognize and join.b. Advanced settings ✦Hidden SSID - Disabled as a default, this feature allows you to keep the SSID hidden from public viewing. It is an extra layer of security for those who prefer to keep the Wireless Space Wi-Fi unknown to others. ✦Client isolation - Disabled as a default, this feature prevents communication between each device connected to the Wi-Fi. ✦Transmission Power - High by default, a smaller range may be selected if desired (Fig. 133).c. WPS - Clicking on the WPS icon allows other WPS devices to join the Wireless Space Wi-Fi. It offers the same function as physically pushing the WPS button on the face of the device.continued on the next page>>Fig. 131Fig. 132 Fig. 133

LaCie Wireless Space • DESIGN BY NEIL POULTON Administering the LaCie Wireless Space: Beyond BasicUser Manual page 82TECHNICAL INFO: It is normal for the Dashboard to close when making changes to the settings. Please be patient when attempting to reconnect as the Wireless Space updates the settings. With certain adjustments, such as turning Wi-Fi off or on, the Wireless Space IP address may change as well. If the Dashboard does not load in your browser, open LaCie Network Assistant to see if the IP address has changed. You may have to refresh LaCie Network Assistant by quit-ting and restarting the program.4.5.1.2. Wireless AP - SecurityThis tab reveals the security settings created in the Setup for Wi-Fi access point conﬁgurations. If a new access point is being created, the ﬁelds on the page will be blank (Fig. 134). When creating a new wireless network or changing the security, please consider the following: ✦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. The Security pulldown menu (Fig. 135) offers different levels of secu-rity. Before choosing Wi-Fi security, please refer to the user manuals of your wireless devices to conﬁrm compatibility with the preferred setting. For example, WPA2-AES is appealing for its higher level of security but older devices may not support it.IMPORTANT INFO: LaCie strongly recommends that all Wire-less Space clients secure their Wi-Fi networks. For this reason, the Setup Wizard offers three levels of security and password protection when conﬁguring the Wi-Fi access point. While the Dashboard of-fers “None” as a security option, we urge all users to consider the risks to their home networks as well as potential drains on their wire-less bandwidth. continued on the next page>>Fig. 134 Fig. 135

LaCie Wireless Space • DESIGN BY NEIL POULTON Administering the LaCie Wireless Space: Beyond BasicUser Manual page 854.5.2. Dashboard: Router PagesA router conﬁguration signiﬁes the creation of a new network, or sub-network. The Wireless Space will assign IP addresses to all con-nected devices, wired and/or wireless. Router conﬁgurations have three important Dashboard pages: Network WAN, Network LAN, and Firewall.Network LAN is included in the Basic administration section but the page has a different meaning for router conﬁgurations. As a router, the Wireless Space becomes the LAN interface for the network. As a switch, the Network LAN page points to the router, server, or In-ternet provider that manages IP addresses. See 3.6.6. Dashboard: Network LAN for more information on the Network LAN page in a switch conﬁguration.4.5.2.1. Dashboard Pages: Router - Wired OnlyThe welcome page for a NAS Router - Wired Only conﬁguration is pictured in Fig. 141 Router - Wired Only. The additional widgets are highlighted.

LaCie Wireless Space • DESIGN BY NEIL POULTON Administering the LaCie Wireless Space: Beyond BasicUser Manual page 864.5.3. Dashboard: Network WANNetwork WAN lists how the Wireless Space reaches the wide area network (WAN) or Internet. The information is similar to the Network LAN page in the Basic administration section (3.6.6. Dashboard: Network LAN) with some additional options. The importance of this page cannot be overstated since the proper settings prevent IP ad-dressing conﬂicts with the router, server or Internet provider. In a router conﬁguration, the Ethernet cable is attached to the IN-TERNET port (see 4.6. INTERNET Port: NAS+Router) on the back of the Wireless Space. This is the connection from the Wireless Space to the WAN or Internet, which makes it a client device to the rout-er, server, or Internet provider. As a part of the WAN, the Wireless Space must have its own IP address, assigned or static.Network WANThe default client IP mode for the Wireless Space is DHCP (Fig. 144). However, you may change the settings (Fig. 144, a and Fig. 145) to Static or PPPoE (point-to-point protocol over Ethernet) if your network supports either setting. It is very important to complete all the required ﬁelds for your network. Please refer to your network router, server, or Internet provider for precision on the PPPoE User (PPPoE only), PPPoE Password (PPPoE only), IP, Netmask, Gateway, and DNS (if applicable). Fig. 146 shows an example of a static ad-dress.MAC Address CloneIf your router, server, or Internet provider limits devices connected to its network by MAC address, you can set up a MAC Address Clone (Fig. 144, b). As a default, this setting is turned off but clicking the box will open the ﬁeld to enter a MAC address. After you click APPLY to conﬁrm the setting adjustment, the WAN router, server, or Internet provider will only list that MAC address among all the devices con-nected to the Wireless Space network. continued on the next page>>Fig. 144Fig. 145Fig. 146

LaCie Wireless Space • DESIGN BY NEIL POULTON Administering the LaCie Wireless Space: Beyond BasicUser Manual page 87Dynamic DNSYou can manage your Wireless Space while away from the network by enabling Dynamic DNS (Fig. 147, c). Please note that you must also create a Dynamic DNS account with a third-party provider on its web site. There are many companies that offer free remote access service using Dynamic DNS (see the pulldown menu after enabling the feature, Fig. 148).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 PasswordWhen all the ﬁelds are completed, click APPLY. There are two additional settings that may also be required for Dy-namic DNS to work: UPnP IGD and NAT-PMP. Both settings are available on the Firewall page (4.5.5. Dashboard: Firewall). By de-fault, UPnP IGD is enabled (Fig. 149). The demand for both settings is wholly dependent upon the program being used for remote access as well as many other factors. Once Dynamic DNS is established, you can access the Dashboard on computers that are outside of the Wireless Space network. Please note that Internet service is required. Also, the web address used to remotely view the Dashboard is the full hostname determined by the service that has been chosen.For more information, watch LaCie’s screencast tutorial on setting up Dynamic DNS at: http://www.lacie.com/us/support/faq/faq.htm?faqid=10706 Fig. 147Fig. 148Fig. 149

LaCie Wireless Space • DESIGN BY NEIL POULTON Administering the LaCie Wireless Space: Beyond BasicUser Manual page 884.5.4. Dashboard: Network LANUse this page to manage the Wireless Space network.LAN InterfaceThe default router address for the Wireless Space is 192.168.1.1 (Fig. 150, a and 1.9. Default Settings). Many routers and Internet providers share the same default router IP address. Please check the user manual for your WAN or Internet device to determine its IP addressing information. If the addresses are the same, you must change one of them before the Wireless Space is connected to the WAN. It is important to check the Netmask address as well in order to avoid further IP addressing conﬂicts. See 4.5.4.1. Avoiding Router IP Address Conﬂicts: ExampleDHCP ServerThis small section shows the how the Wireless Space will assign IP addresses to devices connected to its network and the range of IP addresses that may be used. The Mode pulldown menu shows how the DHCP server assigns IP address: ✦Disabled - DHCP assigning turned off ✦Static Leases - Each device is assigned an IP address that never changes. ✦Dynamic Leases - The IP addresses assigned to devices may change. This is the default setting. ✦Both - The Wireless Space uses Static and Dynamic leases.Devices attached to the LAN ports on the Wireless Space will have IP addresses (assigned by DHCP or static) that are within the range of addresses from Range Start IP and Range End IP. Note that the Range Start IP default is 192.168.1.100. The Range End IP default is 192.168.1.250. The ﬁrst three ﬁelds, 192.168.1, match the rout-er IP address. This is critical for communication between the devices connected to the Wireless Space network as well as communica-tion with the Wireless Space itself. Just as important is the last ﬁeld, which must conform to the numbers in the start and end ranges. In this case, any number between 100 and 250. Therefore, devices can have IP addresses such as 192.168.1.100, 192.168.1.151, 192.168.1.207, etc.The tabs in Fig. 150, c show devices on the Wireless Space network by DHCP static leases or DHCP leases status.continued on the next page>>Fig. 150Fig. 151Fig. 152

LaCie Wireless Space • DESIGN BY NEIL POULTON Administering the LaCie Wireless Space: Beyond BasicUser Manual page 894.5.4.1. Avoiding Router IP Address Conﬂicts: ExampleMy Internet provider has a router IP address of 192.168.1.1 and a Netmask of 255.255.255.0. Since the Wireless Space defaults are the same, I must change the router IP settings on one device. I decide to make changes on the Wireless Space before attaching the Ethernet cable to the Internet provider via the INTERNET port (1.4.2. Rear View). To begin, I make certain that my computer’s network address set-tings are DHCP and attach the Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports on the back of the Wireless Space (1.4.2. Rear View). To begin making changes in the Wireless Space settings, I type the router IP address in the URL window of my web browser for access to the Dashboard (Fig. 154, a). On the Network LAN page, I change the LAN Interface IP from the default (Fig. 153, a) to 192.168.2.1 (Fig. 154, b). For the Netmask, I select 255.255.0.0 (Fig. 154, b). I have now started to adjust the settings that will prevent addressing conﬂicts on the network. However, I still need to make a change in the range of IP addresses (Fig. 153, b) so that devices on the Wireless Space network can communicate with the Wireless Space and each other. The range must match the router IP address to communicate with the Wireless Space. I change the Range Start IP from the default (Fig. 153, b) to 192.168.2.100 and the Range End IP to 192.168.2.250 (Fig. 154, c). Once all the important ﬁelds have been completed, I click APPLY (Fig. 153, c). The Dashboard will lose connection while the Wireless Space executes the changes. After a few moments, I type the new router IP address in the URL win-dow of my web browser to launch the Dashboard (Fig. 155). After conﬁrming that all the settings have been changed, I know that the Wireless Space will no longer have router addressing conﬂicts with the router, server, or Internet provider.Please note that there are many addressing possibilities to use for the ﬁelds on the Network LAN page. LaCie cautions users to pay close attention to addressing conﬂicts, both on the WAN and the Wireless Space network. Fig. 153Fig. 154Fig. 155
