4. Beyond Basic Install
Beyond Basic configurations reveal the rich set of features available
to your Wireless Space. You may create a new Wi-Fi b/g/n access
point and a second network for a home or small business. While the
setup is not difficult, there are steps that require some understanding
of your LAN (land area network) as well as how Internet, or WAN
(wide area network ), is delivered to your home or office.
The Beyond Basic configurations maintain their roots in the Basic
section since many of the pages in the Wireless Space Dashboard
do not change. However, there are additional pages in the Dash-
board that target the needs of each mode. Therefore, rather than
repeating the same information, this section will reference the pas-
sages in Basic that pertain to the installation and operation of the
Wireless Space in a Beyond Basic configuration.
Topics covered:
4.1. Before the Installation
3.1. Connect the Power Supply
4.2. Configuration 3: Wireless Access Point (Switch)
4.3. Configuration 4: Router - Wired Only
4.4. Configuration 5: Router Wireless Access Point
3.4. LaCie Network Assistant
4.5. Administering Your LaCie Wireless Space - Beyond Basic
It is important to determine which configuration works best for your
network. Please review 2. What is the best configuration for my net-
work? to find the preferred mode for your Wireless Space. With a
configuration in mind, you may set the location for the Wireless
Space before running the Setup Wizard and connecting it to your
network.
MANUAL NOTE: The Beyond Basic section will cover most of the
additional functions integral to the NAS+Switch Wireless Access
Point and Router configurations. However, there are some advanced
networking features that are not listed in this User Manual since their
use for most customers is limited.
