LaCie Ethernet Disk
Using the LaCie Shell
User Manual
page 44
The LaCie Shell provides you with a simplified interface to the
major functions of the Ethernet Disk.
Remote Desktop (for Windows and Macintosh) allows you to
access the LaCie Shell from your computer without having to
connect a monitor, keyboard, or mouse directly to the Ethernet
Disk. Remote Desktop is based on Microsoft’s Terminal Services
technology and uses the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) to allow
a client to connect to a remote host. Under RDP, which works
across a TCP/IP connection, the client system is allowed to send
keyboard and mouse input to the remote host to run applications
located on the host system. The host system then uses RDP to
send screen and audio information back to the client system. The
LaCie Ethernet Disk system does not have any sound card drivers
installed and does not support the audio feature.
Connection to the LaCie Ethernet Disk using Remote Desktop
should only be used for setting up your firewall, scheduling a
backup to a shared directory over the network (i.e. to another
NAS), or troubleshooting.
