Wake-on-LAN

The TeraStation supports Wake-on-LAN, which allows it to be turned on remotely. The TeraStation will be turned
on automatically in the following situations: receiving a Wake-on-LAN packet, recovering from a power outage,
disconnecting and reconnecting the power cable.
1
From Settings, click Network.
2
Click the settings icon ( 
3
Click Edit.
4
Enable "Wake-on-LAN", then click OK.
5
The process is complete once you close the confirmation window that appears.
Wake-on-LAN is now enabled. As long as the TeraStation is connected to a power source and the network, you can
turn it on remotely.
Notes:
• After receiving the Wake-on-LAN packet, the TeraStation may take up to five minutes to be ready to use.
• To use Wake-on-LAN, you'll need Wake-on-LAN software that sends Wake-on-LAN packets. 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.

Port Trunking

Two Ethernet cables can be used to establish two separate communication routes, providing LAN port redundancy
and improving communication reliability. The use of two Ethernet cables enables access to the TeraStation even if
one of the cables becomes disconnected.
The port trunking modes that can be set on the TeraStation are shown below:
