• The TeraStation supports a domain environment with a maximum of 1000 users and 1000 groups. 10,000 users and

more users or groups is not supported.
• If the TeraStation is operating as a member server in NT Domain or Active Directory domain, the conditions below
must be satisfi ed to access the TeraStation.
- The TeraStation is accessed while logged into the NT Domain or Active Directory domain.
- The TeraStation is accessed by logging into Windows using account information that can log into the domain from a
computer that is not a member of the NT Domain or Active Directory.
If the above conditions are not satisfi ed, access to the shared folders and other content of the TeraStation is not pos-
sible (shared folders not set with access privileges also cannot be accessed).
