Connect the new volume. The process for this will depend on your iSCSI software. For the Microsoft iSCSI
Software Initiator, navigate in Windows to Control Panel - Administrative Tools - iSCSI Initiator, enter the IP
address of the TeraStation in the "Target" field, and click Quick Connect.
Note: Windows XP computers will not reconnect iSCSI volumes automatically if iSCSI has been disabled. After
re-enabling iSCSI, reconnect from your iSCSI initiator.

The connected volume will be recognized by the computer as an unallocated volume. Assign and format the
volume in Windows. When the format process is completed, the drive will be visible as an icon in "Computer"
or "My Computer" and can be used as a normal drive on the computer.
Use with Multiple Computers
If the TeraStation is divided into multiple volumes (or drives), it can be used with multiple computers. Accessing a
single volume or drive from multiple computers is not recommended.
Checking Whether iSCSI Volume is Connected
To check whether an iSCSI volume is connected, navigate to Drives - iSCSI - iSCSI Settings and select Connection. If
"Connected" is displayed, the TeraStation is currently connected to the client.
Mutual Authentication with the TeraStation
The TeraStation can perform mutual authentication (two-way authentication). Dual passwords ensure that only
authorized client computers can access the volume on the TeraStation.
