Remote Desktop Connection

You may revise the settings of your LaCie professional server using the Dashboard from a Windows workstation. It is also possible to access the server desktop for further administrative options. There are two options to view the server desktop:

  • Connect a USB keyboard, USB mouse, and a VGA monitor directly to their respective ports on the back of the server. Please note that this option may not apply to all servers.
  • Launch Windows Remote Desktop Connection from a computer on the same network as the LaCie server.

The instructions below will help you connect to the server via Windows Remote Desktop:

  1. From a Windows workstation on the same network as the server, go to Start > Remote Desktop Connection or Start > Programs/All Programs > Accessories > Remote Desktop Connection.
  2. Enter the network name or IP address of your server then click Connect.
  3. Enter the administrator Login and Password for your server.
  4. Click Yes at the certificate prompt.
  5. The desktop for the server will appear. You may manage the settings or access files.
