[. . . ] Change it to something more secure here. 19 Configuration GUI Network (IP Address Properties) In most networks, TeraStation will get its IP Address automatically from a DHCP server. If DHCP is disabled and an IP Address is not set manually, it will default to 192. 168. 11. 150. The TeraStation's IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway Address, and DNS Server address may all be entered manually under IP Address Properties. Only use JumboFrame settings when operating in a Gigabit environment where all other clients support the same JumboFrame setting. Click Apply after making any changes. 20 Configuration GUI Disk Management (Drive Properties) This page shows the current properties of your hard drives and RAID Arrays. To change these settings, click on RAID Setup at left. 21 Note on RAID Arrays TeraStation uses RAID ("Redundant Array of Independent Disks") technology to control the four hard drives in your TeraStation. RAID may be configured several ways: RAID 0 - All four drives are combined into one large, fast drive, giving the maximum capacity for your TeraStation. This size is the one listed on your TeraStation's box and shows the total capacity of the TeraStation with no data used for redundancy. RAID Spanning is fast and efficient, but with no redundancy, if one hard drive fails, all data on the TeraStation is lost. This costs you half the total capacity of the array, but provides excellent redundancy. If a hard drive fails, the mirror continues to supply data, so you may work on normally. You may replace the damaged or defective drive at any time, and normal RAID 1 mirroring will then be automatically restored. RAID 5 (parity) - All drives in a RAID 5 array reserve part of their data space for parity information, allowing all data to be recovered if a single drive fails. The parity information takes up about one hard drive's worth of space, so if you set up all four drives in the TeraStation as a RAID 5 array, your usable capacity will be about 3/4 of the total capacity of the TeraStation. Half of the TeraStation's total capacity is used for redundant information. Buffalo Technology recommends RAID 5 for its excellent balance of efficiency and security. 22 Configuration GUI Disk Management (RAID Setup) This page shows your current RAID arrays. You may delete old arrays or create new ones by clicking on the underlined RAID Array # under RAID Array Configuration. The RAID Scanning Settings set a specific time for the TeraStation to scan and inspect its RAID arrays. It is recommended to set a time where the TeraStations usage will be minimal (perhaps the middle of the night). Begin Immediate RAID Scan specifies the TeraStation to run a RAID Scan immediately. You may also disable RAID Array Error Detection Response from this page. Normally, this is set to automatically shut down the RAID array when an error is detected.
