Introduction
Congratulations on your new TeraStation! Your TeraStation Live is a powerful le server that’s
as easy to use as a hard drive. With its straightforward conguration GUI, anyone can easily
congure the TeraStation’s settings. You don’t even necessarily need to congure it at all;
right out of the box it’s ready to be plugged in and put to work. But the TeraStation remains
a fast, reliable Linux-based server, with four huge hard drives that may be congured in
RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, or RAID 10 arrays. It also includes PCast and DLNA media servers,
allowing it to stream music, movies, and pictures to a wide range of stand-alone media
players. This user manual is intended to assist you in conguring your new TeraStation.
Because we’re constantly updating our product, the images and text in this manual may vary
slightly from the images and text displayed by your TeraStation. These changes are minor
and should not affect the ease of setup adversely. As time passes, future user interfaces,
updated software, and later versions of this manual may be freely available for download at
our web site: http://www.buffalotech.com.
