Buffalo Technology HD-HTGL/R5 Step 6: Map a Driveletter to your Share

To access your TeraStation’s data, it’s

convenient to have the TeraStation’s

share (a folder you can store data in)

mapped to a drive letter. Begin by

clicking Start and then Run.... In the

Run dialog box, type \\TeraStation_

Name where TeraStation_Name is the

friendly, easy-to-remember name that you entered into the TeraStation

Hostname ﬁ eld on page 5. Press OK to continue.

TeraStation’s root

directory will appear.

You’ll see all of the

conﬁ gured folders,

including share, the

preconﬁ gured share

folder that we’re going

to map a drive letter

to. From the pull-down

menu, click Tools, and

then Map Network

Drive.

Select the drive letter you

want to map share to from the

Drive: list box. In the Folder:

ﬁ eld, 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: ﬁ eld. 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.

When ﬁ nished, press the Finish button.
