IMPORTANT INFO:
The LaCie Internet Space 2’s performance
can be affected by such external forces as network activity, hard-
ware, distance, and setup.
IMPORTANT INFO:
For optimal performance, use a gigabit Eth-
ernet router and a gigabit Ethernet board in your host computer.
1.1.3. Router
Your router directs local data traffic through your home network,
and passes Internet data through a firewall. The firewall protects
your computer from malicious data on the Internet, but allows safe
data through ports. The LaCie Internet Space 2 requires ports 21
(FTP), 22 (SSH), 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) to be available and
unblocked.
The Setup program will automatically configure these ports using
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play). Most routers have UPnP available
and enabled, allowing configuration to occur. The Setup program
will tell you whether configuration was successful.
■
If UPnP is available but disabled, enable UPnP as described in
the router documentation.
■
If UPnP is not available, set up port forwarding from ports 21,
22, 80 and 443 to HipServ as described in the router documen-
tation. Use TCP for each port.
You can find a Test Port Forwarding tool at:
