Buffalo Technology LinkStation Pro Shared Network Storage Setup Notes

7
The LinkStation’s Ethernet port will automatically adjust to use either a crossover or catch cable,
so you may connect the LinkStation to your network with either type of Ethernet cable. Buffalo
Technology doesn’t recommend connecting the LinkStation directly to a PC.
Verify that the LINK/ACT LED on the front of LinkStation is lit (see page 6’s picture). If it’s lit, go to
page 8 to continue setting up LinkStation. If the LINK/ACT LED is still not lit, try the suggestions
below to verify that you’re not suffering from common setup problems.
Having problems? Make sure that:
• the LinkStation and the router, hub or switch are both powered on,
• the Ethernet cable is securely plugged in at both ends, and
• the Ethernet cable is not damaged. Verify this by trying a different Ethernet cable.
If problems persist, you may contact Buffalo Technology’s technical support. See pages 55 and 56
for technical support contact information.
