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).
