4.16. Dashboard: External Ports

This page provides you with information on devices connected to the 
d2 Network 2’s USB or eSATA expansion port.

The d2 Network 2 features a printer server.  To activate it, click the 

Activate Printer Server

 check box.  You can connect a USB printer 

to the d2 Network 2 via the front USB port.  Once connected, the 
printer will become available throughout your network.  Correct 
printer drivers must be installed on the host computer.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

 For multi-function printers, only the print 

feature is supported. If your printer has a scan feature, for example, 
it will not work when connected to the d2 Network 2.

IMPORTANT INFO:

 Only PostScript printers are supported. If 

your printer does not display on this page, it is likely that the printer 
does not support PostScript printing.  This is frequently the case with 
multi-function and photo printers. LaCie can not guarantee that your 
printer supports the proper protocols to make it a networked printer.

Multimedia Indexation:

 Click this box if you want your DLNA devices 

to be able to access files on the external USB or eSATA hard drive 
connected to the d2 Network 2.

For details on connecting a USB or eSATA hard drive, see 

4.16.1.
