DASHBOARD - GENERAL SETTINGS
This page allows you to modify some of your LaPlug's general parameters.
Names
Host Name:
Modify the machine name. The machine name identifies your LaPlug in LaCie Network Assistant
■
and on the local network. The machine name is limited to 15 characters. Please use alphanumeric characters
without spaces or symbols.
Workgroup:
Type a Windows workgroup name to connect your LaPlug to a Windows workgroup.
■
Technical note:
Mac users connected to a network with Windows computers can also access USB devices
this way by selecting in the Finder
Network > [Workgroup] > LaPlug
where “Workgroup” is the name of
the Windows workgroup.
Services
Media Servers:
This feature allows your LaPlug to act as a UPnP multimedia server. Files stored on USB
■
devices connected to the LaPlug will be available to play on UPnP-enabled players (such as cell phones,
computers, and game consoles). A master volume must be selected in
Dashboard > Drives
to use this
media server feature. For information on using your LaPlug to stream files to your UPnP devices including
iTunes, see
. Note that if you've just added new content to the LaPlug, it could take a few
minutes before they are available to UPnP/DLNA-certified players/adapters.
