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.
