*A separate intelligent switch that supports EtherChannel or other port trunking is required. Configure two LAN
ports on the switch for port trunking first.
Note: If the TeraStation is being used as an iSCSI drive, disable iSCSI before changing network settings such as port
trunking. Navigate to Drives > iSCSI in Settings and move the iSCSI switch to the off position temporarily.

Use an Ethernet cable to connect the hub LAN port and TeraStation LAN port 1.
Notes:
• Do not connect the second Ethernet cable to the TeraStation yet.
• If using an intelligent switch, configure the LAN ports on the switch first, before connecting to the
TeraStation.

Characteristics
Only one NIC slave in the bond is active. A different slave becomes
active if and only if the active slave fails.
Transmits network packets based on [(source MAC address XOR'd
with destination MAC address) modulo NIC slave count]. This selects
the same NIC slave for each destination MAC address.
Transmits network packets on all slave network interfaces.
Creates aggregation groups that share the network speed and duplex
settings. Utilizes all slave network interfaces in the active aggregator
group according to the 802.3ad specification.
Note: To use this mode, a separate intelligent switch that supports
IEEE 802.3ad is required. Configure LACP on the switch first.
The outgoing network packet traffic is distributed according to the
current load (relative to the speed) on each network interface slave.
