The Buffalo TeraStation 3210DN has been updated to the latest firmware and has cycled through the initial admin
account set up process.

How to Set Up a Cloud Solution

Using a Business NAS

Login to the Buffalo TeraStation admin page.
When loaded, click on the File Sharing link
in the left-hand sidebar, followed by the link
button to the far right of the Web Access entry. Enable HTTPS/
SSL Encryption, enable Access via BuffaloNAS.com, click the
Generate Random Key button and add a name for the cloud
sever in the BuffaloNAS.com Name box.

    STEP    1

Once you’ve named the cloud server, click OK
and the details will be saved. Still in the File
Sharing section, click on the Folder Setup link
button, located at the top of the screen. In the Shared Folder
List window, click Create Folder and when the Shared Folder
Settings window appears, enter a name for the folder and

tick WebAccess.

    STEP    2

Scroll  further down    and you can see a   heading

WebAccess   Permissions.    Click   the pull-down

box and select  Allow   all groups  and users   from

the list    (you’re stopping    anonymous   sources from    entering    the

cloud   folder).    Click   the OK  button  when    you’re  done.

    STEP    3

Close   the Shared  Folder  List    window  and click

the link    button  next    to  Users.  In  the User    List

window, click   the Create  User    button. Enter

a   name    for one of  your    users,  and a   password.   You can set a

unique  User    ID  if  you wish    and any storage quotas. Click   the OK

button  when    you’re  done.

    STEP    4

CREATING YOUR CLOUD

The setting up of a cloud server on a business NAS is done similarly to that of the home NAS.

The web-based administration of a NAS drive makes it incredibly simple to configure and

use. In this example, we’re using the Buffalo TeraStation 3210DN NAS 2TB model.
