[. . . ] TeraStation User Manual TS-XL/R5 and TS-WXL/R1 models www. buffalotech. com v2. 3 Introduction Congratulations on your new TeraStation!The TeraStation is a powerful file server that's as easy to use as a hard drive. With its straightforward Web Admin Tool, anyone can easily configure the TeraStation's settings. You don't even necessarily need to configure it at all; right out of the box it's ready to be plugged in and put to work. [. . . ] If that's what you want, click Save. Or, to add write access, double-click on Read Only. Chose Read & Write. Your user and/or groups can now access and write to the new share. 42 Mapping Additional Shares You can map additional drive letters to shares on your TeraStation. Enter your TeraStation's hostname (you can get it from the NAS Navigator utility, or its LCD display) or IP address. If you have created other share folders, then they will be visible here too. You can map drive letters to any of these folders. 43 From the Tools pull-down menu, select Map Network Drive. To specify the folder to map, either find it with Browse or enter \\TeraStation_Name\share_name in the Folder: field, where TeraStation_Name is your TeraStation's hostname and share_name is the name of a folder on your TeraStation. Check the Reconnect at logon checkbox to have Windows connect to this mapped drive every time it starts. Your share is now mapped to a drive letter. 44 TeraSearch TeraSearch lets you easily find files on your TeraStation. To use it, open the share that you want to be able to search, such as share, by clicking on its name in Shared Folders/Folder Setup. Put a check next to Include folder in search indexing and click Save. 45 Navigate to Shared Folders/TeraSearch, and click Modify Settings. Put a check next to Enable, chose a time for your regular updates, and click Save. Note: The TeraStation must be powered on to update the index. Updating may take several hours. 46 Click Update Index. To use TeraSearch, type "//IPaddress:3000 " into a URL window of a browser, where IPaddress is the IP address of your TeraStation. Login with your username and password, or you can use the guest account with a blank password. Enter the term you want to search for in the Search Text window and click Search. You may sort your results by many different criteria. 47 Maintenance The Maintenance submenu holds such settings as Email notification, Alerts, and LCD display brightness. You can also restart or shut down the TeraStation from here. 48 Replication If you have two TeraStations, then you may configure one to replicate all data in a folder on the other. Any changes to files in a share on the Source TeraStation will be duplicated in a backup folder on the Target TeraStation. To configure replication, connect both TeraStations to a network, or connect an open Ethernet port on the Source TeraStation to an Ethernet port on the Target TeraStation. Open the Web Admin Tool for the Source TeraStation and navigate to System/Backup/ Replication. Select the source and destination folders for replication and click Save. Note: When replication is first configured, existing files are not immediately copied from Source to Target until a new file is created locally, or Resynchronization is clicked in System /Backup/ Replication of the Web Admin Tool. Remote additions to the Source folder by Backup and WebAccess are also not replicated until a file is added locally to the Source folder, triggering the synchronization, or Resynchronization is clicked. With firmware 1. 01 or later, remote additions to the source folder via FTP or FTPS are synchronized immediately. 49 Backup Jobs To create a new backup job, click Create New Job in System/Backup. Select the desired job schedule and properties and click Apply when done. 50 Initialization You can restore all settings to their factory defaults by clicking Restore TeraStation. You can choose to either keep the current admin password after initialization, or revert the password to its default setting of "password". You can also initialize your TeraStation from the Init button, located on the bottom side of the display panel. Holding down the Init button for 3 seconds will initialize all settings including the admin password. Init Button 51 NS-SHFT NS-SHFT is a program to save and restore the configuration of Buffalo NAS devices. [. . . ] 80 Troubleshooting Multiple Shares When accessing multiple shares to a Windows PC, you may see this error message. This is caused by having multiple shares to the same resource using different login credentials. The error occurs when connecting to at least one secure, restricted share. Due to a constraint in Microsoft Windows, only one set of login credentials can access or map drive letters for a network resource such as the TeraStation. As such, only one username and password can be used while mapping drives to a PC. [. . . ]
