Setting Up the Authentication Server on a Windows PC
To set up the authentication server, follow the procedure below. The authentication server must be on the local
network or VPN.
Note: For proper operation, make sure that the TeraStation and the authentication server are on a network with
only one router. If there are two or more routers on the network, the authentication server may not acquire the
correct TeraStation status. For example, if the TeraStation's IP address has been changed, its status does not
change to "Warning".
1 Download the application for the authentication server, "Boot Authentication Tool", from the Buffalo website
and install it onto the Windows PC.
2 Register the specific port number that is used on the application as a firewall exception rule. Navigate to
Control Panel - System and Security - Windows Firewall on the authentication server.
3 Click Advanced settings.
4 Right-click Inbound Rules and click New Rule.
5 Select "Port" and click Next.
6 Select "TCP", enter the port number that is used on the application to the right of "Specific local ports", and
click Next. The default port number on the application is "7010". The port number can be confirmed in the
"Options" tab of the application.
7 Click Next twice.
8 Enter a desired name for the setting and click Finish to complete.
