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 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. Choose a drive letter from the Drive: pull down menu. 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. It indexes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, pdf, html, text, and other files. 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.

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.

Please follow the steps on the next page to remedy this problem. 81 Mapping Multiple Shares When mapping any share, select the Connect using a different user name option. [. . . ]
