If you meet the following conditions, then you don’t have to configure the settings described above:
• No backup password is set for the target TeraStation.
• The source and target TeraStations are on the same network.
• No TeraStation from outside the subnet, or connected by a VPN, is used.
Instead, just turn to the next page and configure a backup job.
Note:
• To back up data between TeraStations or LinkStations on a network using jumbo frames, make sure that both devices
are configured to use identical (or similar) Ethernet frame sizes. If Ethernet frame sizes of these are significantly
different, the backup job may not be properly performed. In such a case, select the default frame size (1518 bytes).
Enter a password and click

Now, you can easily find this target TeraStation when configuring backup
jobs on a source TeraStation.
Under “Off Subnet TeraStation”, enter the IP address of the target
TeraStation in the “New IP Address” field, and click
