Disable "DHCP" and enter the desired network address settings, then click 

OK

.

Notes: 

• 

Do not set the same address for LAN port 1 and LAN port 2. This may cause unstable network 
communication.

• 

Use LAN port 1 to access different network subnets from the TeraStation. Access to a different network 
subnet is not possible from LAN port 2 since it doesn't have a default gateway.

• 

The following IP addresses are reserved and should not be used. If you configure one of them by accident, 
initialize all settings by referring to the "Restoring Factory Defaults" section in chapter 10.
  Local loopback address: 127.0.0.1, 255.255.255.0
  Network address: 0.0.0.0, 255.255.255.0
  Broadcast address: 255.255.255.255, 255.255.255.0
  The IP address range from 224.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
