Note: If you click Disable Connection for the selected volume in Drives - iSCSI in Settings, the selected iSCSI volume
can no longer be accessed. If you click Enable Connection, the volume will become accessible from the iSCSI initiator
software.

Connecting or Disconnecting Volumes

There are two methods to connect or disconnect volumes. One uses the pre-installed Microsoft iSCSI Initiator on
Windows; the other uses Buffalo iSCSI Connection Tool.
Note: By default, the IP address of the TeraStation is automatically assigned from a DHCP server. However, in this
case, if you turn off and restart the TeraStation, the IP address may be changed and the volumes on the TeraStation
may not be accessible. To avoid changing the IP address unexpectedly, using a static IP address for the TeraStation is
recommended.
