Wake-on-LAN

The TeraStation supports Wake-on-LAN, which allows it to be turned on remotely.

1

In Settings, click Network.

2

Click the icon to the right of “IP Address”.

3

Click Change.

4

Enable “Wake-on-LAN”, then click OK.

Wake-on-LAN is now enabled. As long as it is connected to power and the network, you can turn on the

TeraStation remotely.

Notes:

• After a power outage, wait 5 minutes after power is restored to send the Wake-on-LAN packet to the TeraStation.

• After receiving the Wake-on-LAN packet, the TeraStation may take approximately five minutes to be ready to use.

• To use Wake-on-LAN, you’ll need Wake-on-LAN software such as AMD’s Magic Packet utility. The TeraStation does not include Wake-on-LAN software.

• The TeraStation does not support using Wake-on-LAN and port trunking at the same time. You may use either feature, but not both at the same time.

• On the local network, Wake-on-LAN packets may be sent to port 2304 on either of the TeraStation’s LAN ports. If the TeraStation is connected to a Buffalo wireless router configured for remote access, then it may be turned on from outside the local network (from the WAN side). To use this feature, connect the router to only LAN port 1 on the TeraStation.

UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply)

If a UPS (sold separately) is attached, the TeraStation can be automatically shut down for protecting data in the event of

139

a power outage.

1

Plug the power cable of the UPS to a wall socket.

2

Connect the AC cable of the TeraStation to the UPS.

3

Connect the UPS and TeraStation using a USB cable or serial cable.

4

Turn on the UPS, then the TeraStation.

5

In Settings, click Management.

6

Click to the right of “UPS Sync”.

7

Click Edit.

8

Configure the desired settings, then OK.

Notes:

• If the TeraStation is connected directly to a UPS, select “Sync with UPS connected to this TeraStation”. If a different TeraStation is connected to the UPS, select “Sync with UPS connected to another TeraStation on the same network” After making this selection, enter the IP address of the TeraStation that will be the sync source in “Other

TeraStation’s IP Address”.

• When the TeraStation is rebooted after an automatic shutdown (such as from a power outage or power supply problem), verify that the power supply has been restored. If the TeraStation is turned on while it is still running on the UPS and without the power supply restored, automatic shutdown is not performed, even after the specified time has elapsed.

• If the power supply from the UPS to the TeraStation is stopped and restarted when UPS recovery is enabled, the

TeraStation is automatically restarted.
