✦ Reorient or relocate the receiving
antenna.
✦ Increase the separation between the
equipment and receiver.
✦ Connect the equipment into an out-
let on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

Health and Safety Precautions
✦ Only qualified persons are autho-
rized to carry out maintenance on this device.
✦ Read this User Manual carefully and
follow the correct procedure when setting up the device.
✦ Do not open your LaCie Wireless
Space or attempt to disassemble or modify it. Never insert any metallic object into the drive to avoid any risk of electrical shock, fire, short­circuiting or dangerous emissions. Your LaCie Wireless Space contains no user-serviceable parts. If it ap­pears to be malfunctioning, have it inspected by a qualified LaCie Technical Support representative.
✦ Never expose your device to rain,
or use it near water, or in damp or wet conditions. Never place objects containing liquids on the LaCie Wireless Space, as they may spill into its openings. Doing so increas­es the risk of electrical shock, short­circuiting, fire, or personal injury.
✦ Power requirements 100-240 V~,
0.9 A, 50-60 Hz, (Supply voltage fluctuations not exceeding ± 10% of the nominal, transient over­voltages according to over-voltage category II).
General Use Precautions
✦ Do not expose the LaCie Wireless
Space to temperatures outside the range of 5° C to 35° C (41° F to 95° F); or to operational humidity beyond 5-80%, non-condensing, or non-operating humidity beyond 10-90%, non-condensing. Doing so may damage the LaCie Wireless Space or disfigure its casing. Avoid placing your LaCie Wireless Space near a source of heat or exposing it to sunlight (even through a window). Inversely, placing your LaCie Wire­less Space in an environment that is too cold or humid may damage the unit. Because of heat issues, LaCie recommends that users do not stack multiple Wireless Space together.
✦ Always unplug the LaCie Wireless
Space from the electrical outlet if there is a risk of lightning or if it will be unused for an extended period of time. Otherwise, there is an in­creased risk of electrical shock, short-circuiting or fire.
✦ Use only the power supply shipped
with the device.
✦ Do not use the LaCie Wireless
Space near other electrical appli­ances such as televisions or radios. Doing so may cause interference which will adversely affect the op­eration of the other products.
✦ Do not place the LaCie Wireless
Space near sources of magnetic interference, such as computer displays, televisions or speak­ers. Magnetic interference can affect the operation and stabil­ity of your LaCie Wireless Space. Do not place heavy objects on top of the LaCie Wireless Space.
✦ Never use excessive force on your
LaCie Wireless Space. If you detect a problem, see the Troubleshooting section in this manual.

1. Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a LaCie Wireless Space, De­sign by Neil Poulton. Built to enhance an existing network or to cre­ate a new one, the LaCie Wireless Space offers expansive shared storage and superior performance. Best of all, the Wireless Space lives up to its name, giving you the freedom to connect to your network using Wi-Fi. With its large capacity hard drive for storing important data and backups, as well as a rich set of configurations and features to satisfy the home networking novice and enthusiast alike, the LaCie Wireless Space is the perfect choice for any home or business.
Distinctive Design
The LaCie Wireless Space has a bold exterior, strengthened by fine edges and a warm blue and green glow. As an attractive addition to any environment, the Wireless Space is welcome in the home or office. With convenience and storage expansion in mind, the Wire­less Space has three USB 2.0 host ports, two in the back and one on the front for easy access. Of course, as a wired and wireless network expander, the Wireless Space also includes four Ethernet ports and a Wi-Fi access point. Cooling vents on the underside ensure proper air flow and quiet operation.
Media Server
Your LaCie Wireless Space can share media files with compatible UPnP AV adapters and players as well as computers using iTunes. Once on the network, the Wireless Space can store movies, music, and photos on its OpenShare partition for all to enjoy.
Network Management Made Easy
The LaCie Wireless Space is compatible with Mac®, Windows®, and Linux, allowing for an inclusive network. To complement strong performance, the Wireless Space is bundled with LaCie Network Assistant, a convenient application that provides important device details for all LaCie network drives. Administration takes place in the Dashboard, a web-based administration tool that is available on any system connected to the network or from a remote location.

1.1. How to use this manual
Unlike many standard network attached storage (NAS) devices, the LaCie Wireless Space can be integrated into a network in several ways. While it is, above all, a network drive with a large capacity for data and media, the Wireless Space is also a router, a server, a Wi-Fi access point, and much more. The Wireless Space has easy­to-use features that allow for the networking novice to dive in im­mediately, as well as advanced features for those who want to move their home or small business networks to the next level.
LaCie wants you to have fun with your new Wireless Space, taking advantage of its expansive set of features. This User Manual will help you determine the configuration that best suits the demands of your network as well as offer ideas on how to grow in the future.
To start, LaCie recommends that you pay close attention to the five primary configurations listed in 2. What is the best configuration for
my network?. It is very important that you decide upon a single setup
before commencing with the installation of your Wireless Space. You should not feel locked into a choice, however, as the option to ad­just the configuration never goes away. For example, if you begin to use the Wireless Space as a simple switch without Wi-Fi, the option to turn it on is always available.
Since the levels of networking interest and expertise vary, this User Manual has sections for Basic installation and operation as well as Beyond Basic. Two of the five configurations are fairly close to plug and play, allowing for a relatively fast setup. They are included in the Basic section. For those looking to add a new Wi-Fi or create a separate network, please take a look at the Beyond Basic configura­tions.
There is another level, Advanced, that is not included in this User Manual. Many of the advanced features of the Wireless Space and other LaCie network devices may not have direct application to the general use of a NAS. Of course, if you are interested in learning more on how to use your Wireless Space, please refer to the expan­sive glossary in this User Manual if certain terms or abbreviations are not easily understood.
