LaCie Wireless Space • DESIGN BY NEIL POULTON Basic Install: Setup WizardUser Manual page 243.3. Configuration 2: NAS WirelessClientIMPORTANT INFO: DO NOT attempt to access the WirelessSpace 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 thenetwork. If the Dashboard has made contact with the device, theSetup Wizard will not run since it believes the choice of configurationhas already been made. This could be problematic when attachingthe Wireless Space to a network with a router, server, or Internetprovider that assigns IP addresses using DHCP. Most DHCP serv-ers or devices use the same default settings as the Wireless Spacewhen it is set to a Router configuration, which can create IP addressconflicts on a network.Please see 2. What is the best configuration for my network? beforepreparing your Wireless Space.3.3.1. Wireless Space Setup WizardPreparing for the setup:✦ Do not connect the Wireless Space to your router, switch, orInternet provider via Ethernet.✦ Quit the applications running on your computer, especiallythose 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 therouter, switch, or Internet provider.✦ LaCie recommends that you disconnect from Wi-Fi networkswhile running the Wireless Space Setup Wizard.
