their factory defaults.
The initialization button initializes the following settings: IP address, Ethernet frame size, admin username

enabled). Other settings can be initialized from the conguration utility (page 40).
To keep the current username and password when initializing the TeraStation, navigate to “Maintenance” -
“Restore/Format” in the conguration utility. Select “Keep current admin password” and click “Save”.
If you congure the TeraStation to not initialize the admin password, you can no longer congure the TeraStation if you
forget the password. Write down your password and don’t lose it!
