3.4. Accessing USBShare via USB

The Network Space 2 can be connected to your network via Ether- net or directly to a computer via USB. This chapter explains how to connect your hard drive to a computer. For details on connecting to your network, refer to chapter 2. Connecting to a Network.

You must successfully connect to the network and run the Setup Wiz- ard before connecting the Network Space 2 to your computer via USB. Follow the steps in chapter 2. Connecting to a Network before continuing. Additionally, you will need to increase the storage al- located for USB access by adjusting the USBShare size slider (which is set to 0GB by default) (refer to 2.4. STEP 4: Completing the Setup Wizard or 4.9. Dashboard: Drive Information.

Follow these steps to getting your LaCie Network Space 2 connected to your computer:

3.4.1.STEP 1: Turn On the Drive

3.4.2.STEP 2: Connecting the USB cable

TECHNICAL NOTE: If your network is limited to 10/100 Mbit transfer speeds or if you use Wi-Fi, the USB connection will gener- ally permit faster transfer rates. In this case, LaCie suggests that as a first step you copy large quantities of files to the Network Space 2 via USB, then as a second step, share them throughout your network via the Ethernet cable.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If you connect your Network Space 2 to the network via Ethernet and to a computer via USB, note that USBShare will mount on the computer as a physical drive and will not appear on the network.
