its volumes will not be visible. Once a volume has been selected, click

. The selected volume
will be recognized as a local drive on your computer (under My Computer). If the volume is already
connected, you can click
Disconnect
to disconnect it.
Note that if IP address restrictions are set, volumes will only be displayed on computers with
approved IP addresses.
Note:
If your computer is connected to many volumes on a TeraStation, it may take some time for the utility to detect all
the volumes. For example, it takes about 20 minutes for a computer to detect 32 connected volumes from a single
TeraStation. This time may vary depending on your computer and network. Volumes are detected successively, so
please wait until all volumes are detected before making changes in the utility.
