10 Go to Management - Name/Time/Language and configure the TeraStation’s time and date.
Notes:
• For best results, use an NTP server to maintain the time settings on the TeraStation and other network devices.
Clocks for the network devices may run at slightly different speeds. If these devices get out of sync it may cause
network problems.
• Buffalo is not responsible for any losses and damages incurred from using the ntp.jst.mfeed.ad.jp service or ser-
vice outages.

• If the TeraStation cannot automatically obtain the time from an NTP server, check its DNS settings. If the NTP
server is specified by a hostname instead of an IP address, make sure that a DNS server address is configured in
Network - IP Address.
