Click [Management] - next to [Name/Time/Language] - [Time] - [Edit], then con gure the TeraStation's clock
with the Web Admin interface.
Notes:
• By default, the TeraStation adjusts its clock automatically by using an NTP server. The internal clocks of the TeraStation and other devices on your network may run at slightly different speeds. Over a long period of time your network devices may show somewhat different times, which can cause network problems. If clocks on your network vary by more than 5 minutes it may cause unexpected behavior. For best results, keep all clocks on the network set to the same time by adjusting them regularly, or use an NTP server to correct them all automatically.
• NTP may not be usable in some networks. The default NTP Server (ntp.jst.mfeed.ad.jp) belongs to Internet Multi Feed Inc. For more information, please visit www.jst.mfeed.ad.jp. Use NTP at your own risk. Buffalo Technology is not responsible for any loss or damage caused by using of this service, stopping the service, or missing service.
• If the TeraStation cannot automatically obtain the time from an NTP server, check the TeraStation's DNS server address settings. If the NTP server is specified by a hostname instead of an IP address, a DNS server address
13
must be set in [Network] - [IP Address] of the Web Admin interface.

Chapter 3 Access Restrictions
You may restrict access to speci c shared folders. Only selected users and groups will be able to access these folders.
Notes:
• Access restrictions can be set separately for each shared folder. However, access restrictions cannot be set for folders within the shared folder.
• Access restrictions must be configured through the TeraStation's Web Admin interface. Standard Windows access restrictions as set in the Security tab of the Properties window of the TeraStation folder are not supported and may cause unexpected behavior.
• Instead of the procedure below, you can also configure users, groups, and shared folders from Easy Setup by clicking [Access Restrictions].
Configuring Access Restrictions on Users and Groups
Adding a Shared Folder
1
In the TeraStation's Web Admin interface, click next to [Folder Setup].
2
Click [Create Folder].
23
3
Con gure the desired settings, then click [OK].
Notes:
• The name may contain up to 27 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). Do not use a symbol as the first character.
• The description may contain up to 75 bytes alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and spaces. Do not use a symbol and space as the first character.
• You may create up to 400 shared folders on the TeraStation.
• If multi-byte characters are used in a shared folder name used for both AFP and FTP, the client language must be set by clicking [Management] -
next to [Name/Time/Language] - [Language] - [Edit] to match the characters that are being used. Also, you may be unable to access the folder if certain characters are used in the name, and so the use of letters and numbers only is recommended.
• The names of shared folders used for both AFP and FTP cannot use characters from different language sets (such as by mixing Japanese and Korean characters, for instance).
You have created a new shared folder.
Preventing accidental deletion of data
To protect your data from accidental deletion, you may enable a Recycle Bin for each shared folder. Only SMB connec-
24
tions can use a Recycle Bin. If the Recycle Bin is enabled, data that is deleted from the shared folder is temporarily moved to the Recycle Bin folder. To restore the deleted data, open the Recycle Bin folder and move the  les back to the share. After the Recycle Bin is enabled, the Recycle Bin folder is created when a  le or folder is deleted from the shared folder. The Recycle Bin folder is not created immediately after it is enabled. To delete all the  les in the Recycle Bin, click [File Sharing] - [Folder Setup] - [Empty the recycle bin] in the Web Admin interface.
To set a shared folder to Read-Only
In the Shared Folders settings window, select Read-Only for the [Shared Folder Attributes], then click [Apply]. The default setting is [Read & Write]. Data in a shared folder that is set to Read-Only can be written only by users and groups with write access. Read-Only shared folders and HFS+ formatted USB hard drives will have "(Read Only)" added to the shared folder description.
To create a shared folder accessible only to users who know that it exists
To hide a shared folder, select the folder attribute [Hidden Share (SMB Only)] and click [OK]. To open a hidden folder, click [Start] - [Search programs and  les] and enter \\TeraStation name\Shared folder name$\ for the name. Example: If the TeraStation name is "TS-XX001" and the shared folder name is "share", then enter "\\TS-XX001\share$\" to open it. FTP, SFTP, and Mac AFP folders cannot be hidden.
Restrictions
The restrictions described here assume that the latest  rmware version is installed in the TeraStation. The latest  rmware can be downloaded from the Bu alo Technology web site.
• The following characters are handled di erently by Mac OS X and Windows. Avoid using these characters when shar­ing data between Mac OS X and Windows:
• Windows does not support some characters that Mac OS X and the TeraStation allow. If you create a  lename on a Mac with any of the following characters, it will not display correctly on a Windows computer. With Mac OS X 10.2 or later, you may have to connect to the TeraStation via AFP in order to display or copy any of the following characters.
? [ ] / \ = + < > ; : " , | *
• Do not use any of the following words as a username or group name:
root, bin, daemon, sys, adm, tty, disk, lp, sync, shutdown, halt, operator, nobody, mail, news,
uucp, ftp, kmem, utmp, shadow, users, nogroup, all, none, hdusers, admin,
guest, man, www, sshd, administrator, ftpuser, apache, mysql
• Do not use any of the following words as the name of a shared folder. These words are reserved for internal use by the TeraStation:
info, spool, lost+found, global, printers, homes, lp, authtest, ram, msdfs_root, mt-daapd, usbdisk# (where # is a num­ber, for example: usbdisk1)
• If any of the characters below are used for the shared folder name, workgroup name, or  lename, the data on the TeraStation may not be accessible or  le operations may not be performed properly. To prevent this from happening, avoid use of these characters.
<List of Unsupported Characters>
25
• File and folder names may contain up to 255 single-byte characters (UTF-8). DBCS characters (such as Japanese) count as two characters (2 bytes) each. File and folder names should contain 255 bytes of data or less. You may not be able to copy a folder or  le whose name contains more than 255 bytes of information.
• Attributes (hidden/read-only) for the folders and files in the TeraStation cannot be set in Windows. Use the Web Admin interface to set attributes for shared folders. In the Web Admin interface, navigate to [File Sharing] - [Shared Folder]. Select [Read Only] or [Read & Write] from the attributes.
• If non-Roman alphabetical folder names or workgroup names do not display properly, rename the folder or work­group with Roman alphabetical characters.
• If shared folders are accessed from a Macintosh, information  les for the Macintosh may be generated automatically. Do not delete these  les. If they are deleted using Windows, this may prevent further access from a Macintosh.
• If an SMB connection is used from Mac OS X 10.3.9, the names of mounted volumes may appear as unreadable char­acters in Finder or other applications. (This is not a problem with the  lename or data.)
• In Mac OS X 10.5 to 10.5.6, if a search is conducted using Spotlight, the search cannot be performed over an AFP con­nection. In this case, either use an SMB connection, or use Mac OS X 10.5.7 or later.
• TeraStation belongs to the default zone in AppleShareServer. The zone cannot be speci ed.
• When  les are copied to the TeraStation, or to a USB drive connected to the TeraStation,  le information such as date created, date modi ed, and other date information may be updated or changed.
• The value for the hard drive capacity when checked from a browser may di er from the value shown when checked from the Properties window of the hard drive in Windows.
• During a  le transfer, if settings are changed in the Web Admin interface, the  le transfer operation may be aborted.
• File copying to the TeraStation is protected by a journaling  le system, but the situations below can occur if the copy­ing operation is canceled or ended (such as by disconnection of a Ethernet cable or power outage) while in progress.
- The preset data (TeraStation name, user, and group) may be erased.
- An incomplete  le may be copied and the  le can no longer be deleted. If this happens, restart the TeraStation, de­lete the  le, and perform the copy operation again.
• Even if the TeraStation's hard drive is formatted, the [% Used] and [Amount Used] in the Web Admin interface will not be 0. This is because some drive space is being used for the system area.
• Your TeraStation username and password should be the same as your Windows username and password. If they are di erent, you may not be able to access folders on the TeraStation with access restrictions con gured.
• To delete the contents of the trashbox folders for all shared folders, click [File Sharing] - [Folder Setup] - [Empty the recycle bin] in the Web Admin interface.
• Do not set the same network address for LAN port 1 and LAN port 2. Network communication may be unstable if the IP addresses are set so that they have the same network address.
26
• Use LAN port 1 to access di erent network subnets from the TeraStation. Access to a di erent network subnet is not possible from LAN port 2 since it doesn't have a default gateway.
Examples:
- Email noti cation isn't working because the mail server can't be found.
- A backup device isn't detected, even when the IP address is speci ed and the backup location is selected.
To prevent these and similar problems, either use LAN port 1 on the TeraStation for main network communication, or move other devices such as a mail server or backup device to the same subnet of the network.
Adding Users
1
In the TeraStation's Web Admin interface, click next to [Users].
2
Click [Create User].
3
Enter the desired settings, then click [OK].
Notes:
• Usernames may contain up to 20 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), periods (.), !, #, &, @, $, *, ^, and %. Do not use a symbol as the first character.
• If the user ID is left blank, a user ID will be automatically assigned. Use numbers between 1000 and 1999 to set a user ID manually. Make sure that user IDs are unique.
• To assign quotas for users, enable user quotas and enter a limit in GB.
• If you log in with a username, you can check the TeraStation name, IP address, workgroup, and drive status, and
27
you can change your own password.
• User descriptions may contain up to 75 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and spaces. Do not use a symbol and space as the first character.
• When setting users with access privileges, a maximum of 300 users can be registered in the TeraStation.
• Passwords may contain up to 20 alphanumeric characters and the following characters: - _ @ ! # $ % & ‘ ( ) * + , . / ; < > = ? [ ] ^ { } | ~. Do not use a symbol other than an underscore (_) as the first character.
• In Windows 7/Vista/XP/2000 and Windows Server 2003/Server 2008, if the network login name is different, a screen is displayed for entering the username and password, but even after these are entered, access to the shared folder is not possible. For best results, use the same username and password for both Windows and the TeraStation.
• Repetitive deletions and additions of users may cause quotas to not work properly. Even if data is copied by a backup job, quotas may not work properly if a user ID or group ID is duplicated. Always use distinct, unique usernames and group names.
This completes the procedure for adding users.
Quotas only limit available space. They don't check the amount of space that each user
is using, so these amounts must be managed individually. Owners can be confirmed
with the procedure below.
• From the Properties screen of the  le or folder, open a new window from the [Security] tab - click [Advanced], and check using the [Owner] tab.
• In My Computer or Explorer, right-clicking the bar shown for [Name], [Date modi ed], [Type], [Size], or other param­eter allows the selection of which parameter details are displayed. [Owner] can be con rmed from the right-click menu. The procedure for con rming the owner varies depending on the OS. The above example is for Windows XP.
Importing user information
All user information can be imported in a single operation by entering the information below to [CSV Files] in the [File Sharing]-[Users] screen and clicking [Import CSV File].
User information format: Username (required), password (required), and user description (optional).
Example:
username1,password1,comment1
username2,password2,comment2
username3,password3,comment3
…
…
…
• Importing may take over an hour depending on how many users are imported. During import, other operations per­formed from the Web Admin interface may be slower than usual, or may not be performed at all.
• Commas (,) are used as separators. Do not put spaces before or after commas.
• If a line has an incorrect format, the user for that line will not be registered.
• If a user with the same name is already registered, the new user information overwrites the old information.
• Do not use commas (,) in the username, password, or user description. See the previous page for other restrictions on what characters to use for the username, password and user description.

Adding Groups
1
In the TeraStation's Web Admin interface, click next to [Groups].
2
Click [Add Group].
3
Enter the desired settings, then click [OK].
Notes:
• If the Group ID field is left blank, a group ID will be automatically assigned. Use numbers between 1000 and 1999 to set a group ID manually. Make sure that group IDs are not duplicated by other groups.
• To set a Quota for a group, enable group quota and enter the maximum disk space allotted in GB.
• Group names may contain up to 20 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and periods (.). Do not use a symbol other than an underscore (_) as the first character.
• Group descriptions may contain up to 75 alphanumeric characters, hyphens (-), underscores (_), and spaces. Do not use a symbol and space as the first character.
• You may register up to 300 groups with the TeraStation.
• Repetitive deletions and additions of groups may cause quotas to not work properly. Even if data is copied by a backup job, quotas may not work properly if a user ID or group ID is duplicated. Always use distinct, unique usernames and group names.
This completes the procedure for adding groups.
