GENERAL SETTINGS

GENERAL TAB

Machine Name: The machine name identifies your LaCie NAS on your network. You can change it from the

■

default by clicking on the pencil icon and typing a new one. If a duplicate name exists on the network,

alternate names are automatically created to avoid conflicts. For example, a second LaCie 5big NAS Pro on

your network will automatically be called LaCie-5big-P-1. Keep in mind that the machine name is limited to 15

characters, is case-sensitive, and can consist only of alphanumeric characters without spaces or symbols.

Date: The date and time are set automatically if you assign an NTP server (see below). If not, click on the

■

pencil icon and select a day from the calendar.

Time: If the time is not set by the NTP server, click on the pencil icon and select the proper time.

■

Language: Click on the pencil icon to change the Dashboard language.

■

Timezone: Click on the pencil icon for the listed time zone, then select your timezone from the dropdown

■

window.

Time Synchronization: This option allows your LaCie NAS to sync the time and date with an NTP (network

■

time protocol) server. Having it set automatically means you won't have to worry about adjusting your LaCie

NAS's time settings for daylight savings.

Domain

You LaCie NAS can join a Windows Workgroup or a Windows Active Directory:

Workgroup: Select the radio button for Workgroup and click on the pencil icon to type its name (use from 1

■

to 15 alphanumeric characters).
