2.5. Assign a Static IP Address

Most networking routers are DHCP servers, meaning that the router will automatically assign the Network Space 2 an IP address. If the network is not DHCP-managed, the Network Space 2 will use APIPA to assign itself a valid IP address of existing network; in some cases it will assign itself an IP address following the rule 169.254. xxx.yyy/24.

If your network requires devices to be assigned a static IP, follow these steps to use the LaCie Network Assistant:

1.Make sure the LaCie Network Assistant is installed on your com- puter (see section 2.3. STEP 3: Connect using LaCie Network Assistant for details).

2.Launch LaCie Network Assistant and open the Network settings tab:

Windows Users

Select LaCie Network Assistant in Start/Programs. An Net- work Assistant icon will appear in the system tray and Net- work Assistant will automatically detect your LaCie Network Space 2 and any other storage devices on your network.

Mac Users

Select LaCie Network Assistant in your Applications folder. An Network Assistant icon will appear in the menu bar and the Assistant will automatically detect your LaCie Network Space 2 and any other LaCie storage devices on your net- work.

3.Click on the icon in the system tray (Windows) (Fig. 15) or menu bar (Mac) (Fig. 16) and select Configuration Window....

4.Click the Network tab and select Manual (Fig. 17).

5.Modify the network settings to work with your network. Make sure you provide an IP address on the same subnet as your computer so that the Network Space 2 will be visible to that computer.

6.Click Apply. The device will restart and will become available in a moment.
