With Buffalo’s WebAccess, you can access your LinkStation from anywhere in the world with an
Internet connection. It’s easy to access your fi les, or share them with other people, wherever they
may be.
WebAccess
WebAccess is set up from within the
Confi guration GUI. First, select ‘Web Access’,
and then ‘Service Setup’ from the menu on the
left.
To use Webaccess, set ‘Web Access Service’ to
Enable.
You may enable SSL Encryption if desired.
Using ‘BuffaloNAS.com’ is recommended.
Otherwise, you’ll have to manage your own DNS
settings.
‘Auto-Confi gure Firewall’ is also recommended if your router supports UPnP (most do since 2001).
If you choose not to enable this, you must manually confi gure your router and fi rewall to forward
internal port 9000 to the Internet.
Choose a name for your BuffaloNAS account and a password (“key”). This name is the name that
will be used to access your LinkStation and to share with your friends. The password for this
protects other people from using it, so picking a strong password is recommended.
Click Help in the top right of the window for detailed information on each setting.
