(the username is "admin", the password is "password" by default).
5
Select the LAN port to be used for sharing files and enter a virtual IP address and subnet mask.
About Virtual IP Address:
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.

Select the LAN port to be used for transferring data via failover.

If the administrator username and password is correct, the backup TeraStation will beep. Press and hold the
function button to accept the settings from the main TeraStation. When you press the function button, the
backup TeraStation will stop beeping.

Hold it down until the backup TeraStation beeps again.

The I51 message will appear in Settings and NAS Navigator2 for both TeraStations. Wait until initialization
finishes. Failover is configured after it finishes and the I51 message disappears.
