ADVANCED ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES
This chapter will describe your LaCie product's advanced accessibility features such as remote access, creating
shortcuts to your USB devices on the network, and multimedia streaming.
REMOTE ACCESS
You can access files stored on the USB devices connected to your LaPlug when you are away from home. You
can download or upload files from any computer connected to the Internet, or manage your LaPlug.
LaCie has created a screencast that demonstrates this process. Either click here to follow the link, or
alternatively, from the Dashboard > Network page, click the “i” next to the Remote Access heading to access
the screencast.
For further information on network settings, see Dashboard - Network LAN.
Once connected, it is easy to access your files using the web browser-based File Browser. You can upload,
download, and stream many types of multimedia files such as mp3. For more information on the File Browser,
see Dashboard - File Browser.
CREATING SHORTCUTS TO USB DEVICES
Once you successfully set up your LaPlug and connect a USB device(s), you can create shortcuts so you can
quickly access stored files. You can do this by using your operating system or LaCie Network Assistant.
Create Shortcut Using LaCie Network Assistant
LaCie Network Assistant (LNA) can be configured to automatically mount USB devices on your computer, which
allows you quick access to the files they store. To create this shortcut to USB devices using LNA, follow the steps
below:
From the LNA menu, click Configuration Window.1.
Select LaPlug from the left-hand column.2.
Click the Volumes tab.3.
Next to the device(s) you wish to map, click the check box under the column Auto Mount. If you see the4.
message “can't list volumes,” it may be because you are using an outdated version of LNA. Download the
most recent version from the LaCie website.
