Health and Safety Precautions
■ Only qualified persons are authorized to carry out maintenance on this device.
■ Read this User Manual carefully and fol- low the correct procedure when setting up the device.

1.1. Minimum System Requirements
1.1.1. Windows
■ Computer with an Ethernet network adapter
■ Windows XP SP2, Windows Vista™, Windows 7 or higher
■ Minimum free disk space: 600MB recommended
■ Ethernet switch or router
■ Web browsers: Internet Explorer™ 6.0 or higher, Firefox™ 1.5 or higher, Chrome 2.0 or higher
1.1.2. Mac
■ Computer with an Ethernet network adapter
■ Mac OS 10.4, Mac OS 10.5, Mac OS 10.6 or higher
■ Minimum free disk space: 600MB recommended
■ Ethernet switch or router
■ Web browsers: Firefox™ 1.5 or higher, Safari™ 2.0 or higher, Chrome 2.0 or higher
IMPORTANT INFO: The LaCie Internet Space 2’s performance
can be affected by such external forces as network activity, hard­ware, distance, and setup.
1.1.3. Router
Your router directs local data traffic through your home network, and passes Internet data through a firewall. The firewall protects your computer from malicious data on the Internet, but allows safe data through ports. The LaCie Internet Space 2 requires ports 21 (FTP), 22 (SSH), 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) to be available and unblocked.
The Setup program will automatically configure these ports using UPnP (Universal Plug and Play). Most routers have UPnP available and enabled, allowing configuration to occur. The Setup program will tell you whether configuration was successful.
■ If UPnP is available but disabled, enable UPnP as described in the router documentation.
■ If UPnP is not available, set up port forwarding from ports 21, 22, 80 and 443 to HipServ as described in the router documen­tation. Use TCP for each port.
You can find a Test Port Forwarding tool at:
www.axentra.com/support/documentation/router/testportforward. html
If you need to test port forwarding, go to this site, and then click the
Test Port Forwarding button.
IMPORTANT INFO: For optimal performance, use a gigabit Eth-
ernet router and a gigabit Ethernet board in your host computer.

User Manual page 13
2.1. Power on the Drive
1. Connect the power supply to a wall outlet and to the LaCie
Internet Space 2 (Fig. 03).
2. Connect the Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on the back of
the LaCie Internet Space 2 (Fig. 04). Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable into an available Ethernet “out” port on your router or hub (refer to your router or hub’s documentation if necessary).
3. Push and hold the power button until the blue LED turns on, then off, then on again, then release the button. The blue LED will blink while the Internet Space 2 launches its services (Fig. 05). When the light stops blinking, the drive is ready for setup.
Move on to 2.1. Power on the Drive.
CAUTION: Only use the AC adapter supplied with your specific
LaCie device. Do not use a power supply from another LaCie device or another manufacturer. Using any other power cable or power supply may cause damage to the device and void your warranty. Always remove the AC adapter before transporting your LaCie drive. Failure to remove the adapter may result in damage to your drive and will void your warranty.
TECHNICAL NOTE: You may use your LaCie drive when in a for-
eign country thanks to its 100-240 Volt power supply. To be able to use this feature, you may need to purchase an appropriate adapter or cord. LaCie accepts no responsibility for any damage to the drive resulting from the use of an inappropriate adapter. Using an adapt­er other than one authorized by LaCie will void your warranty.

2.2. Setup and Personal Portal Creation
In this step, you will set up the drive to register it with the service pro­vider, prepare it for use on the home network, and make it available for remote use across the Internet.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Before you start, make sure your
router is working and connected to the Internet and that you can ac­cess the Internet from the computer you’ll use to set up your LaCie Internet Space 2.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: If your router is not UPnP-en-
abled, access your router interface and make sure the following ports are unblocked (for details, refer to your router documentation or to your Internet provider): port 80 (http) or 443 (https) and port 22 (ssh).
Fig. 06
1. Insert the Setup & Utilities CD-ROM into your computer. The Setup Wizard will appear automatically. If you do not see this screen, double-click the CD-ROM icon in My Computer/Com­puter (Windows) or on the Desktop (Mac).
2. Click Step 1 and follow the on-screen instructions to register the product and create your personal web portal.
During this process you will need the HipServ™ product key, which you will find on the Setup & Utilities CD-ROM sleeve (Fig.
07). Keep the CD and key so you can reinstall the software in
the future if necessary. Keep the portal name, username and password you’ve created in a safe place.

3. Connecting to Your Web Portal
Whether you want to access your Internet Space 2 from your home network or on the road through the internet, you must connect through the HipServ Web Portal you created in chapter 2.
The easiest way to access the Web Portal is by using the HipServ agent, which you installed in chapter 2. If you want to access the Internet Space 2 from a computer where you’ve installed the HipServ Agent, see section 3.1. Home Access for details on launching the portal.
If you want to access the Internet Space 2 from a computer where you haven’t installed the HipServ Agent (i.e. you are on the road), see section 3.2. Away from Home Access for details on launching the portal.

3.1. Home Access
During the setup process in chapter 2, you installed HipServ Agent, which provides you a quick way to launch the other HipServ soft­ware, including the Web portal (referred to here as the HipServ Ap-
plication).
The HipServ Application runs in your browser. It allows you to access your folders and albums within the media library, view albums, and set preferences. Because the HipServ Application uses a web-based interface, it works the same with different computers and browsers. The HipServ Application is available if the Internet Space 2 is located locally on your home network, or remotely across the Internet.
1. First, open HipServ Agent:
Windows Users: Launch the HipServ Agent from the Start
Menu (Start > All Programs > Axentra > HipServ Desktop
Applications > HipServ Agent > HipServ Agent). The icon
will appear in your System Tray (Fig. 13).

NOTE: You can alternatively access the Web portal by simply navi-
gating in your browser to homelacie.com.

User name, and Your Password. Optionally select Remember me, so you don’t have to re-enter your password next time you
