with IP addresses in the range from 192.168.1.2 through 192.168.1.48 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0, then the
"Public Network Address" would be 192.168.1.0 and the "Public Subnet Mask" would be 255.255.255.0. This would
mean that only clients on this local network would be able to access the NFS share. If the default settings are used
(0.0.0.0 for both the public network address and the public subnet mask), then access to the NFS share will not be
restricted.
• If you configure "Guest Permission" to "Forced" on the screen after navigating to Rules > Add, the user ID and
group ID should be 65534 when the data is written from NFS clients; this is recommended for SMB and other
protocols as well. If the TeraStation only enables the NFS connection, select "Ignored" instead.
• Be aware that some NFS clients may be able to access via NFS although the clients do not exist in the allowed NFS
client list.

NFS Mount Commands

Enter the mount command to access the shared folder from the NFS client. The mount command depends on your
operating system. The examples below assume that IP address of your TeraStation is 192.168.11.10, "/mnt/array1/
share" is the desired NFS path, and "/mnt/nas" or drive letter "z" is the mount point.
For Linux:
mount -t nfs 192.168.11.10:/mnt/array1/share /mnt/nas
For Windows Service for Unix 3.5:
mount 192.168.11.10:/mnt/array1/share z:
Note: A shared folder whose folder name contains multibyte characters cannot be accessed.
For Solaris 10:
mount -F nfs 192.168.11.10:/mnt/array1/share /mnt/nas
For macOS:
sudo mount -t nfs -o resvport 192.168.11.10:/mnt/array1/share /mnt/nas

Offline Files for Windows

The "offline files" feature that is included with many versions of Windows can be used with files on the TeraStation.
You will be able to work on files stored on the TeraStation even when your PC is disconnected from the network.
When you next connect to the network, the updated files are written and synchronized. Follow the procedure below
to configure offline files.
