To access your TeraStation’s
data, it’s convenient to have the
TeraStation’s share (a folder you
can store data in) mapped to a drive
letter. Begin by clicking Start and
then Run... . In the Run dialog box,
type \\TeraStation_Name where
TeraStation_Name is the friendly, easy-to-remember name that
you entered into the TeraStation Hostname field on page 5.
Press OK to continue.
TeraStation’s root
directory will appear.
You’ll see all of the
configured folders,
including share , the
preconfigured share
folder that we’re going
to map a drive letter
to. From the pull-down
menu, click Tools , and
then Map Network
Drive .
Select the drive letter you
want to map share to from the
Drive: list box. In the Folder:
field, enter
\\TeraStation_Name\share ,
where TeraStation_Name is
the friendly, easy-to-remember
name you gave your TeraStation
on page 5. If you set up other
shares on your TeraStation, you
may map them by substituting
their share name for “share” in the Folder: field. You can also
browse for a shared folder by pressing the Browse button and
searching through the Entire Network and then the Microsoft
Windows Network . Check the Reconnect at logon checkbox to
have Windows connect to your mapped drive every time it starts.
When finished, press the Finish button.
