If the Network Settings Are Changed After Replication Jobs Are Created
If the network settings are changed after replication jobs are created, the TeraStation will not be able to
communicate with the replication destination TeraStation and replication may fail. Examples of network settings
changes include disconnecting the Ethernet cable and reconnecting it to another LAN port or changing the IP
address of the replication source or destination TeraStation. If the network settings are changed, refresh the list of
Buffalo NAS devices by following the procedure below.
1
Click Buffalo Replication in the Start menu on Windows Storage Server.
