2.4. STEP 4: Completing the Setup
Wizard
The first time you log in to the Dashboard, the Setup Wizard will load
in you browser (Fig. 13). The Setup Wizard consists of three sections
to be filled out that will help you to configure your 2big Network 2.
a. General Settings: Modify the Machine Name (optional - a
name may only contain letters (case sensitive), numbers, or
a hyphen. Maximum of 15 characters) and create the admin
login name and password (minimum 4 characters).
IMPORTANT INFO: You may enter 4 to 20 characters using letters
(case sensitive), numbers, the hyphen, and the underscore. No
other symbols, punctuation, or spaces may be used. Do not begin
or end with a hyphen and/or an underscore.

IMPORTANT INFO: If for whatever reason you do not complete
the Setup Wizard, the default login credentials will be admin/admin.
b. Time Configuration: Select whether the time and date should
be set manually or synchronized with a third party server.
Press the Test button to ensure synchronization is working.
When the time synchronization option is selected, you can’t
modify the time and date settings.
c. Disk Configuration: Specify how much of the total storage
should be made available when the drive is connected
to your computer via USB, and how much for when your
computer is connected to the network. You can modify this
amount from 0 GB to up to half the total capacity (default
is 0 GB).
If you choose to increase the USBShare size, it is necessary
to format the share. After completing the Setup Wizard, navigate
to Drive Information > USB Drive and select Format (for
details, see 4.11. Dashboard: Drive Information).
IMPORTANT INFO: LaCie strongly recommends you do not increase
the USBShare size to more than 128 GB unless you format
USBShare to either NTFS or HFS+ using your operating system’s
native disk utility.
NOTE: The machine name can be modified later from the Dashboard.
NOTE: You can also change the language on this page (Fig. 13, d).
TECHNICAL NOTE: If you need to assign a static IP address, refer
to section 2.6. Assigning a Static IP Address for details.
Once you’ve finished, you can proceed to the Dashboard by clicking
Finish (Fig. 13).
Your 2big Network 2 is configured and ready to use. Proceed to
the following sections: 3. Accessing and Transferring Files and 4.
Administering Your LaCie 2big Network 2.
