2.4.STEP 4: Completing the Setup Wizard
The first time you log in to the Dashboard, the Setup Wizard will load in you browser (Fig. 14). The Setup Wizard consists of four sections to be filled out that will help you to configure your Network Space 2.
a. General Settings:
✦✦ Machine Name (optional) - 2imum 15 characters; letters (case insensitive), numbers, or a hyphen.
✦✦ Create and confirm a password (from four to 20 characters). ✦✦ While the Admin login cannot be changed during setup, you can change it on the Users page (4.7. Dashboard: Users)
once setup is complete. If for whatever reason you do not complete the Setup Wizard, the default login credentials will be admin/admin.
b. Time Configuration: Select whether the time and date should be set manually or synchronized with a third party Network Time Pro- tocol (NTP) server. The default NTP server, pool.ntp.org, links to a website that is open to the public. You may use the default or enter the address of a preferred NTP server. Press the Test but- ton to ensure synchronization is working. You will not be able to modify the time and date settings if the time synchronization option is selected.
c.Disk Configuration: Specify how much of the total storage should be allotted to the Network Space 2 network and USB shares. While both are accessible to users on the network, when the Net- work Space 2 is connected to a computer via USB, only USBShare will be accessible. You will be able to modify this value later if you change your mind.
If you choose to allocate space to USBShare on the Setup Wizard, it is necessary to format the share. After completing the Setup Wizard, navigate to Drive Information > USB Drive and select Format (for details, see 4.9. Dashboard: Drive Information).
d.Dashboard Language Selection
Once you’ve finished, you can proceed to the Dashboard by clicking Finish (Fig. 14). Your Network Space 2 is configured and ready to use. Proceed to the following sections: 3. Accessing and Transfer- ring Files and 4. Administering Your LaCie Network Space 2.

IMPORTANT INFO: While USBShare can be set as high as 500 GB, LaCie strongly recommends that you do not increase the size to more than 128 GB unless you reformat USBShare, using your operating system’s disk utility, into NTFS (Windows) or HFS+ (Mac). Since USBShare is formatted by default in
