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 Wizard

Preparing 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). In most instances, the light will become solid

green and turn red during the setup.

2. Run the Utilities CD from the computer’s optical disk drive.

Launch the Wireless Space Setup when prompted. DO NOT in-

stall LaCie Network Assistant before running the Wireless Space

Setup.

3. Choose your language then select OK. After reading the wel-

come screen text, click Continue.
