Step 6: Map a Driveletter to your Share

To access your TeraStation’s data, it’s convenient to map your TeraStation to a drive letter. Begin by clicking Start and then Run.... In the dialog box, type \\TeraStation_Name where TeraStation_Name is the friendly, easy- to-remember name that you entered into

the TeraStation Hostname field on page 5. Press OK to continue.

TeraStation’s root directory will appear. You’ll see all of the configured shared folders, including share, the preconfigured shared folder that we’re going to map a drive letter to. From the pull-down menu, click Tools, and then Map Network Drive. Note: If you cannot access the TeraStation, please disable or reconfigure your software firewalls.

Select the drive letter you want to map share to from the Drive: list box. In the Folder: field, enter \\TeraStation_Name\share, where TeraStation_Name is the friendly, easy-to-remember name you gave your TeraStation on page 5. If you set up other shares on your TeraStation, you may map them by substituting

their share name for “share” in the Folder: field. You can also browse for a shared folder by pressing the Browse button and searching through the Entire Network and then the Microsoft Windows Network. Check the Reconnect at logon checkbox to have Windows connect to your mapped drive every time it starts. Press Finish.
