Simple, User-Friendly Administration
With the d2 Network 2’s new widget-based dynamic web

to DHCP and Apipa support, network configuration is fast and
automatic. The product integrates easily with existing Windows
domains using Active Directory and it allows user, groups, share
and quota management. Access to administration pages and
shares is easy using LaCie Network Assistant and, on top of that,
it can provide its administrator notifications via email of events
like backup, disk failure, high temperature, etc.
A Complete Backup Solution
Get extra security and increase data portability by backing up your
LaCie d2 Network 2— on your own schedule — to an external
hard drive through its USB and eSATA ports using the built-in copy
system. The LaCie d2 Network 2 also comes with Genie®Backup
Manager Pro™ for Windows and Intego®Backup Manager Pro™ for
Mac to install on each PC/Mac for client backups to the NAS. This
software lets you reliably and efficiently back up your documents,
emails, settings, or other digital assets; it supports compressed,
encrypted, or image backups and initiates a computer recovery
program in case of general crash. Also, the LaCie d2 Network 2 is
compatible with Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard, including Time Machine®,
making it an ideal partner for your Mac.

Remote Access
With Automatic Port Forward, you can take advantage of
UPnP-IGD/NAT-PMP compatible routers and easily access your
d2 Network 2 remotely. With the Dynamic IP integration you
can create your own Internet address for your NAS. Thanks to its
advanced file browser based in Ajaxplorer you can also easily
see, download and use your documents stored in your LaCie
d2 Network 2.
Eco Management
The LaCie d2 Network 2 helps you to reduce power
consumption by switching to idle mode (where the disk spins
off) after a determined inactivity time. Also, you can schedule
a deep sleep on/off mode according your needs. Thanks to
the Wake-on-LAN feature, the d2 Network 2 can be switched
back to operating mode from the client side. In addition, it
also integrates UPS support*** through its USB port to ensure
proper shutdown in case of power failure. On top of that, its
exclusive aluminum fanless heat sink design makes it your
ecological partner— it’s recyclable and ROHS-compliant.
