Note: If using Windows XP or Windows 2000, use LVM to create volumes that are 2 TB or smaller.
Mutual Authentication in the TeraStation
The TeraStation can perform mutual authentication. Dual passwords ensure that only authorized client computers
can access the volume on the TeraStation. To configure mutual authentication, see "Registering the TeraStation and
Connecting the Volumes".
Mutual Authentication Password Setup for the TeraStation (System)
In Settings, navigate to Drives - iSCSI - Security - Access Restrictions for Entire System - Edit - Access Restrictions, then click
Mutual Authentication and set the password (mutual authentication).
Mutual Authentication Password Setup for Individual Volumes
In Settings, navigate to Drives - iSCSI - Create Volume or Delete Volume - Access Restrictions, then click Mutual
Authentication, and set the password. The password that is set here is used when connecting to the volume. The volume
is connected when this password matches the mutual authentication password that was set at the computer.
Mutual Authentication Password Setup for Your Computer
If you are using mutual authentication by the TeraStation or by each volume, enter the same password as the one
that was set for the access restrictions for the TeraStation or for each volume in the mutual authentication password
entry screen. If there are multiple volumes, the computer connects to the volumes whose password was entered here.
The computer cannot connect to multiple volumes with different mutual authentication passwords at the same time.
To change the mutual authentication password at the computer to the mutual authentication password for another
volume, navigate to Setup - Set Mutual CHAP Secret in the iSCSI Connection Tool menu.
Note: If different passwords are set for the mutual authentication password of the TeraStation (entire system) and
mutual authentication passwords for each volume, after the volume is connected, the volume name will no longer
be displayed in the "Volume" field of the iSCSI Connection Tool. If this happens, navigate to Setup - Set Mutual CHAP
Secret in the iSCSI Connection Tool, enter the TeraStation's password, and click OK.
Disconnecting and Unregistering the TeraStation
To disconnect the TeraStation, disconnect the volume and remove the registration as shown below.
