Step I: Connect your Cables

Plug TeraStation's power cord and Ethernet cable into the back of the TeraStation.

Connect the power plug to a power outlet or surge protector. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into a hub, switch, or router on the network.

Press the power button on the front panel to turn your TeraStation on.

Step 2: Check your Connection

Check the LINK/ACT LED on the front of the TeraStation. If it's lit, then your TeraStation is connected to your network. Please turn to page 5 to continue setup.

If the LINK/ACT LED on the front of TeraStation is not lit, your TeraStation is not properly connected to your network. Make sure that:

• both TeraStation and the hub, switch, or PC are powered on.
• the Ethernet cable is securely fastened to both devices.
• the Ethernet cable is not damaged. To verify, try using another Ethernet cable.

Using your TeraStation with a Windows PC

If you're using a Windows PC, two new icons will be on your desktop: Shortcut for your TS-Live and Buffalo NAS Navigator.

The TS-Live shortcut will open the folders on your TeraStation.

Share is the main folder that you can put files and folders in. Info contains a copy of your user manual.

The Buffalo NAS Navigator icon opens the TeraStation's client utility. This lets you easily view system information for your TeraStation(s). If you click Setup and choose Configuration Settings, it will take you to the settings configuration GUI, where you may change your TeraStation's settings. Until you change it, the default username is "admin" and the password is "password". Consult your user manual for more information on the Buffalo NAS Navigator and the Settings Configuration GUI.

Another way to access folders and data on your TeraStation is through the mapped driveletter 'T'. When the installation program ran, it added your TeraStation's main "share" folder to your "My Computer" folder as drive 'T'. Use this virtual hard drive like any other hard drive on your computer. You may add additional shares and

mapped drive letters to your TeraStation and PC; consult your user manual for more information.
