[Software Description] This software will update the TS6000 series TeraStations’ firmware to version 5.06. If your unit’s firmware is already version 5.06 or later, you don’t need this update. [How to Verify the Firmware Version] Select your TeraStation from NAS Navigator2. The firmware version is displayed on the bottom right corner of the window. [Updating Firmware] • Do not turn off the TeraStation until the firmware update is completed and the “finished” message is displayed. • Disconnect iSCSI volumes using the iSCSI initiator before updating the firmware. [Notes] • Make sure the TeraStation’s MTU size is set to a value smaller than that of the hub or router. Larger frame sizes may not allow data to transfer to the TeraStation properly. • This firmware will send your usage information to Buffalo automatically. The usage information may include your TeraStation series name, firmware version, some settings such as the number of shared folders, some drive information such as S.M.A.R.T., and usage environment such as the number of client PCs. None of the collected information contains your personal data such as usernames and passwords. Buffalo will only use the collected information to improve future firmware updates and no other purposes. To disable this function, open Settings after updating the firmware to this version, then navigate to “Management” > “Update” > “Edit” and disable “Update Notification”. For more detailed information, refer to the user manual of your TeraStation model. • If settings are initialized with an iSCSI volume that had been created using an LVM-enabled drive or array, that iSCSI volume mode may be displayed as “NAS”, instead of “iSCSI” on the NAS volume list. Even if in such a case, the iSCSI volume remains accessible via the iSCSI initiator. [For Customers Using Replication] To securely copy your data via replication, a backup device access key must be configured for the replication target. Please make sure you have installed the latest firmware downloaded from the Buffalo website onto your TeraStation and verify that a backup device access key has been configured on the replication target folder for any configured replication jobs. Refer to the “Replication” section in the user manual of your TeraStation model for the procedure to configure a backup device access key to the replication target folder. If you are replicating devices over different subnets or through NAT abstraction, using a VPN is recommended for network security. [How to Update the Firmware] 1. Connect the TeraStation and a computer to run the updater on the same network subnet. The subnet masks should be the same and the first three numbers of the IP addresses should be the same. The last number of the IP addresses should be different. For example, if the IP address and subnet mask of the computer are “192.168.0.10/255.255.255.0” and the IP address and subnet mask of the TeraStation are “192.168.1.150/255.255.255.0”, then the updater will not work properly. In such a case, reconfigure the TeraStation’s IP address and subnet mask to “192.168.0.150/255.255.255.0”. Then, they will be on the same subnet and the updater will work properly. 2. Exit all applications. Also, stop or exit any firewall software. 3. Extract the downloaded file and run “TSUpdater.exe”. When a TeraStation is detected, an update window will open. 4. If multiple TeraStations are connected to the network, select which TeraStation to update. 5. Click ‘Update’ and enter the TeraStation’s admin password. 6. Click ‘OK’. 7. It will take several minutes for the firmware to update. During the update process, the info LED will blink. Don’t disconnect or power down the TeraStation until the update is finished. 8. When the update is finished, a message will be displayed.
