Enter a workgroup name. Select "Authenticate local and external SMB server users" and enter the SMB server's
IP address. You can also specify a server from another subnet.

If "Automatically register users who access TeraStation folders" is checked, users that access any of the
TeraStation's folders will be automatically registered as external users. This process only applies to folders that
have access restrictions disabled. After new external users are added, disable this option to limit the number of
authenticated user accounts.
8
If "Restrict user registration to a single folder" is checked, the TeraStation will automatically create a read-
only shared folder. Enter the shared folder name. Users that access this specific folder will be automatically
registered as external users. If this setting is deselected at a later time, the TeraStation will automatically
remove the folder.
Note: Connect to the authentication folder via SMB, not FTP or AFP. Automatic user registration may not
work with OS X 10.8 (or later) the first time. If this occurs, try rebooting the TeraStation then access the
authentication shared folder again.
