The HipServ Application runs in your browser. It allows you to access
your folders and albums within the
Media Library
, view albums, and
set preferences. Because the HipServ Application uses a web-based
interface, it works the same with different computers and browsers.
The HipServ Application is available if the LaCie Internet Space 2 is
located locally on the home network, or remotely across the Internet.
6.1. Starting the HipServ Application
You can launch the HipServ application either through the HipServ
Agent or by typing homelacie.com into your browser. After you
launch the HipServ Application (Web Portal), you must log in (unless
