settings so that they can be configured manually if the backup TeraStation replaces the main TeraStation.

Web server (including PHP), MySQL server, Direct Copy, WebAccess, print server, UPS synchronization, antivirus

*Only if the antivirus is activated on the TeraStation.

Using with UPS

Once failover is configured, you cannot set up a UPS for the backup TeraStation. Configure your UPS before

configuring failover. UPS recovery can be configured for both the main TeraStation and the backup TeraStation.

However, the UPS settings of the main TeraStation will not be copied to the backup TeraStation.

If the backup TeraStation is configured to sync with the UPS connected to the main TeraStation, and the main

TeraStation shuts down, the backup TeraStation will no longer be able to detect if there was a power outage. In this

case, move the UPS communication cable from the main TeraStation to the backup TeraStation and reconfigure the

UPS link settings.

Configuration

1 In Settings, click Backup.

2 Click to the right of "Failover".

3 Click Edit Failover Status.

4 Select a TeraStation to be the target backup device.

Note: The target TeraStation's hostname, IP address, and LAN port number will be shown. The LAN port selected

here will be used to check the main TeraStation for continued operation.

5 Enter the administrator password of the target backup device, then click Continue.

6 If the administrator password is correct, the backup TeraStation will beep. To accept the settings from the main

TeraStation, hold down the function button on the front of the backup TeraStation until it stops beeping.

7 The I51 message will display on the LCD and NAS Navigator2 for both TeraStations. Wait until initialization

finishes. Failover is configured after it finishes and the I51 message disappears.

Notes:

• If replication is configured for more than one folder, initialize the TeraStation before configuring failover.

• The main TeraStation cannot be used as the backup location for Time Machine.

• If email notification is enabled and failover occurs, navigate to Management - Email Notification - Edit in the

main TeraStation's settings and click OK.
