4.16. Dashboard: External Ports

This page provides you with information on devices connected to the
2big Network 2's USB or eSATA expansion port.
The 2big Network 2 features a printer server. To activate it, click the
Activate Printer Server check box. You can connect a USB printer
to the 2big Network 2 via the front USB port. Once connected,
the printer will become available throughout your network. Correct
printer drivers must be installed on the host computer.
IMPORTANT NOTE: For multi-function printers, only the print
feature is supported. If your printer has a scan feature, for example,
it will not work when connected to the 2big Network 2.

IMPORTANT INFO: Only PostScript printers are supported. If
your printer does not display on this page, it is likely that the printer
does not support PostScript printing. This is frequently the case with
multi-function and photo printers. LaCie can not guarantee that your
printer supports the proper protocols to make it a networked printer.
Multimedia Indexation: Click this box if you want your DLNA devices
to be able to access files on the external USB or eSATA hard drive
connected to the 2big Network 2.
For details on connecting a USB or eSATA hard drive, see 4.16.1.
