Notes:
• If replication is configured for more than one folder, initialize the TeraStation before configuring failover.
• The main TeraStation cannot be used as the backup location for Time Machine.
• If email notification is enabled and failover occurs, navigate to Management - Email Notification - Edit in the
main TeraStation's settings and click OK.
• Ethernet frame size settings for main and failover TeraStations should be 1500 bytes. To change the Ethernet
frame size, navigate to Network - IP Address, click the LAN port and Edit, and change the Ethernet frame size to
"1500" bytes.
• Files whose filenames contain more than 80 alphanumeric characters will not be backed up.
• If the I33 error message appears on the LCD display, navigate to Backup - Replication and click Resync.
• Don't use the same TeraStation for both failover and replication, or failover and Time Machine.

address from the main TeraStation.
