2.3. STEP 3: Connect using LaCie
Network Assistant
LaCie Network Assistant software detects all LaCie network-attached
storage devices on your network and gives you easy ways to connect
to or configure them.
Once installed and running, Network Assistant will appear in your
task bar (Windows users,
Fig. 08
) or in the menu bar (Mac users,
Fig. 09
) and automatically search for storage devices on your net-
work. When a new device is found, the icon will blink.
When Network Assistant finds your LaCie 2big Network 2, you can
connect to any of its shares, log in to the Dashboard (user interface,
see
4.1. Dashboard: Accessing
