Assigning A Network (IP) Address Using The LaCie Network Configurator
A few seconds after the Network Configurator program loads, your LaCie Ethernet Disk which is shown by its Media Access Control (MAC) address will appear in the Available servers list box on the left of the application. The current network configuration will appear on the right. There are two possible scenarios:
If your network is DHCP enabled -
You will not need to modify your LaCie Ethernet Disk’s network settings. Write down the IP address and quit the Configurator.If your network uses static IP
You will need to manually assign the correct network settings on your LaCie Ethernet Disk. Refer to your network administrator for more information about your network and which parameters you should use.
- Uncheck the DHCP checkbox and fill in the network parameters, then select Update.
- Write down the IP address.
- An administrator log on will be prompted. Type in admin as the password. This is the default administrator password for the LaCie Ethernet Disk.
After processing the information, the LaCie Ethernet Disk will reboot with the new network parameters. Once you have finished this operation, you should not have to use the LaCie Network Configurator again, unless you have forgotten the IP address or you are moving the LaCie Ethernet Disk. Once the network parameters have been set, the LaCie Ethernet Disk is ready to be accessed by users. Users will have access to the default folder called “public.” Any user can log on as the default user, with the username “myuser” and the password “myuser.”
