About virtual IP addresses: A virtual IP address is an IP address that will be used for file sharing while failover
is configured. By assigning a different IP address from the one to be assigned to the LAN port, you can access
the TeraStation for sharing files, as well as open Settings using the virtual IP address. This IP address will be
inherited to the backup TeraStation when failover occurs, so you can access the backup TeraStation even if you
don't know the backup TeraStation's static IP address.
Configure an unused IP address for the virtual IP; make sure it uses the same segment as the main and backup
TeraStations.
