Creating an Initialization Drive
We recommend creating an initialization drive as soon as possible. This USB drive can be used to initialize the
TeraStation's settings to its factory default values, or recover the system if your TeraStation encounters an error that
prevents the unit from booting. For detailed procedure, refer to the "Creating an Initialization Drive" subsection in
chapter 7.

Chapter 2 Configuration
Configure and manage your TeraStation using the Settings interface, accessible from a browser window. Open the
interface using the procedure below or type the TeraStation's IP address in the URL field of your browser. Within
Settings, the Easy Admin page gives you quick access to commonly used settings.
Note: Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 9 or later, and Safari 9 or later are supported. If you
have difficulty viewing Settings, check the following:
• If there are a large number of registered users, groups, or shared folders, use another browser instead of Internet
Explorer.
• If you have a proxy server enabled in the browser settings, disable the proxy server.
• With Internet Explorer, set security to Local intranet. On Windows Server operating systems, higher-level security
is configured by default. Set the security to a lower level temporarily.
• On a Mac, you can also use Bonjour to log in to Settings. Navigate to Bookmarks - Bonjour - TeraStation name from
the menu bar of Safari. If you don't see "Bonjour" in the Bookmarks menu, click Safari - Preferences and select
"Include Bonjour in the Bookmarks menu" under "Advanced".

1 In Settings, click File Sharing.
2 Click to the right of "Folder Setup".
3 Click Create Folder.
27
4 Configure the desired settings, then click OK.
―〜∥−¢£¬
Notes:
• Names may contain up to 27 multibyte or alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). The first
character should not be a symbol.
• When you click the Option 1 tab, you can enter the folder description. Descriptions may contain up to 75
multibyte or alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and spaces. The first character should not be a
space.
• You may create up to 400 shared folders.
• If the names of shared folders accessed via AFP and FTP connections contain multibyte characters, configure the
client language in Management - Name/Time/Language to match the characters. If the setting does not match,
the shared folder name will not be displayed correctly.
• The following characters are handled differently by macOS and Windows. Avoid using these characters when
sharing data between macOS and Windows:
• Windows does not support some characters that macOS and the TeraStation allow. If you create a filename on a
Mac with any of the following characters, it will not display correctly on a Windows computer. You may have to
connect to the TeraStation via AFP in order to display or copy any of the following characters:
? [ ] / \ = + < > ; : " , | *
28
• Do not use any of the following words for the name of a shared folder as these words are reserved for internal
①②③④⑤⑥⑦⑧⑨⑩⑪⑫⑬⑭⑮⑯⑰⑱⑲⑳ⅠⅡⅢⅣⅤⅥⅦⅧⅨⅩ
use by the TeraStation: authtest, global, homes, info, lost+found, lp, msdfs_root, mt-daapd, printers, ram, spool,
usbdisk x (where "x" is a number, for example: usbdisk1)
• Don't use the following unsupported characters in shared folder names, workgroup names, or filenames:
• File and folder names may contain up to 255 single-byte characters.
• Folder and workgroup names whose names contain non-Roman characters may not be displayed correctly.
• If shared folders are accessed from a Mac, information files for the Mac may be generated automatically. Do not
delete these files. If they are deleted using Windows, this may prevent further access from a Mac.
• The TeraStation belongs to the default zone in AppleShare; the zone cannot be specified.
• When files are copied to the TeraStation or to a USB drive connected to the TeraStation, file information such as
date created, date modified, and other date information may be updated or changed.
• During a file transfer, if settings are changed, the file transfer operation may be aborted.
• File copying to the TeraStation is protected by a journaling file system. If the Ethernet cable is disconnected or a
power outage occurs while copying data, the following may occur:
- Preset data such as the TeraStation name, users, and groups may be erased.
- An incomplete file may be copied and the file can no longer be deleted. If this happens, restart the TeraStation,
delete the file, and perform the copy operation again.
• If the Ethernet cable is disconnected from the LAN port during file copying, even if the cable is not in use, the
copy operation will abort. Do not disconnect or reconnect the Ethernet cable to the LAN port during file copying.
Recycle Bin
To protect your data from accidental deletion, you may configure your TeraStation to use a recycle bin instead of
deleting files immediately. The recycle bin will only work with SMB connections. To empty the recycle bin, click File Sharing - Folder Setup - Empty Recycle Bin in Settings.
Notes:
• You can prevent guests and other users from emptying the trash by navigating to File Sharing - SMB - Recycle Bin
Permissions and select "Administrator only".
• If you use macOS, select "Keep when original file is deleted" for "Mac OS Temp Files" option. If this setting is
changed, files in the recycle bin may be corrupted.
Read-Only Shares
By default, new shares are set with read and write access, but you may change the attribute to Read only at Attribute
on the "Option 2" tab. Read-only shares and HFS Plus-formatted USB drives will have "(Read Only)" added to
comments in Explorer.
