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 Internetproviders share the same default router IP address. Please checkthe user manual for your WAN or Internet device to determine itsIP addressing information. If the addresses are the same, you mustchange one of them before the Wireless Space is connected to theWAN. It is important to check the Netmask address as well in orderto avoid further IP addressing conflicts. See 4.5.4.1. Avoiding RouterIP Address Conflicts: ExampleDHCP ServerThis small section shows the how the Wireless Space will assign IPaddresses to devices connected to its network and the range of IPaddresses that may be used. The Mode pulldown menu shows howthe DHCP server assigns IP address:✦ Disabled - DHCP assigning turned off✦ Static Leases - Each device is assigned an IP address thatnever changes.✦ Dynamic Leases - The IP addresses assigned to devices maychange. 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 haveIP addresses (assigned by DHCP or static) that are within the rangeof addresses from Range Start IP and Range End IP. Note that theRange Start IP default is 192.168.1.100. The Range End IP defaultis 192.168.1.250. The first three fields, 192.168.1, match the rout-er IP address. This is critical for communication between the devicesconnected 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. Inthis case, any number between 100 and 250. Therefore, devicescan 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 networkby DHCP static leases or DHCP leases status.continued on the next page>>Fig. 150Fig. 151Fig. 152
