into a hub, router, or switch in your
network.

Connect your cables

TeraStation Quick Setup
Press the power button on the front panel. LEDs will light
as your TeraStation boots up.
After your TeraStation has completed booting up, check the
LINK/ACT LED on the front of the TeraStation. If it’s lit, then
your TeraStation is connected properly, and you can go on
to page 8. If it’s not lit, turn to page 7 for troubleshooting.

The TeraStation’s Ethernet port will automatically adjust to use either a Crossover or Patch cable,
so you may connect the TeraStation to your network with either type of Ethernet cable. Buffalo
Technology doesn’t recommend connecting the TeraStation directly to a PC.
Verify that the LINK/ACT LED on the front of TeraStation is lit (see page 6’s picture). If it’s lit, go to
page 8 to continue setting up TeraStation. If the LINK/ACT LED is still not lit, try the suggestions
below to verify that you’re not suffering from common setup problems.
Having problems? Make sure that:
•the TeraStation and the router, hub or switch are both powered on,
•the Ethernet cable is securely plugged in at both ends, and
•the Ethernet cable is not damaged. Verify this by trying a different Ethernet cable.
If problems persist, you may contact Buffalo Technology’s technical support. See pages 66 and 67
for technical support contact information.
