You can also shut down or restart the TeraStation remotely from Settings. For the detailed procedure, refer to the
"Shutting Down or Restarting the TeraStation from Settings"

Creating a USB Initialization Drive

We recommend creating a USB initialization drive as soon as possible. This USB drive can be used to initialize the
TeraStation's settings to its factory default values or recover the system if your TeraStation encounters an error
that prevents the unit from booting. For the detailed procedure, refer to the
subsection in chapter 8.

Accessing Settings

Configure and manage your TeraStation using the Settings interface, accessible from a browser window. Open
the interface using the appropriate procedure below or type the TeraStation's IP address into the URL field of your
browser.
Note: Microsoft Edge, Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer 9 or later, and Safari 9 or later are supported. If you
have difficulty viewing Settings, check the following:
• If there are a large number of registered users, groups, or shared folders, use another browser instead of Internet
Explorer.
• If you have a proxy server enabled in the browser settings, configure the exception settings for Settings or disable
the proxy server.
• With Internet Explorer, set security to Local intranet. On Windows Server operating systems, higher-level security
is configured by default. Set the security to a lower level temporarily.
