With NFS enabled, you can access a shared
folder on the TeraStation from an NFS client.
NFS is disabled by default. To enable it, navigate
to Network/NFS and open Network Service.
Click Modify Settings. Enable NFS, enter the
TeraStation’s network base address and subnet
mask, and then click Save. Examples: If the
TeraStation’s IP address is 192.168.1.150 and
the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, then the
network base address would be 192.168.1.0.
If the subnet mask is 255.255.0.0, then the
network base address would be 192.168.0.0.

In NFS Folders Setup, click on the name of your share. Click Enable and then Save.
In NFS Client Setup, click Add Client. Enter the IP address and subnet mask of your client and click
Save. Repeat for each client that you want to allow to connect with NFS.
To access the TeraStation through NFS using Windows Services for Unix 3.5, the command will be
mount 192.168.1.150:/mnt/array1/share z:, where “192.168.1.150” is the TeraStation’s IP address,
“/mnt/array1/share” is the NFS publishing path, and “z” is an unused network drive letter. For an
OS X Mac, the command would be mount -t nfs 192.168.1.150:/mnt/array1/share /Volumes. Other
NFS compatible operating systems use different commands to access an NFS share. Consult your
OS’s documentation for more information about connecting to an NFS share.
