Buffalo TS5800DWR NAS Firmware 3.20 for Mac OS Description

Added and Modified Features:

- Boot Authentication: Boot authentication is now added. This is a feature that allows the TeraStation to be authenticated by an authentication server as the TeraStation boots up.

Notes:
- To use boot authentication, a Windows PC is required to serve as the authentication server. The application "Boot Authentication Tool for TeraStation" needs to be installed on the PC.
- If the Boot Authentication Tool database is erased, the TeraStation using boot authentication will become inaccessible. Make sure to back up the database file.

Bug Fixes

- Settings: Fixed a bug where Settings could not be accessed.
- Services: Fixed a bug where a music file saved on the folder that contains a space in its folder name was not detected if the folder was used as a iTunes public folder.
- WebAccess: Fixed a bug where WebAccess did not work properly if the WebAccess settings were configured to use UPnP.
- System: Fixed a bug where the "Size on disk" of files on the TeraStation was displayed larger than the actual size on Windows 8.1 or later.
- System: Fixed a bug where the I18 message did not disappear when the TeraStation was restarted while rebuilding the RAID array.
- Network: Fixed a bug where unnecessary response packets were sent when searching for the device using UPnP.

Before updating the firmware:

- Do not turn off the TeraStation until the firmware update is complete and the "finished" message is displayed.
- USB drives may not be mounted automatically after updating the firmware. To mount them, unplug and then reconnect them.
- Disconnect iSCSI volumes with the iSCSI Initiator before updating the firmware.
- Make sure the TeraStation's Ethernet frame size is smaller than the hub or router's. Larger frame sizes may not transfer the data to the TeraStation correctly.
- If an external USB drive is configured as a target for TeraStation backup, the drive should be formatted with ext3, XFS, or FAT32. Do not use an NTFS-formatted drive as a backup target or unexpected behavior may result.
- If a "Replication I33 ReplicateFailure" error occurs, navigate to 'Backup' - 'Replication' and click 'Run Differential Backup'.
- If a "I33 ReplicateFailure" replication error occurs, navigate to 'Backup' - 'Replication' - 'Edit Failover Status' and click 'Sync'.

About Network-Attached Storage Updates:

Upgrading the Network-Attached Storage (NAS) firmware can improve the system’s overall performance, stability, and security by adding various fixes for related issues, enhancing existing features (or adding support for new ones), or updating different applications.

Due to the high number of NAS manufacturers, as well as network storage types, installing a new firmware might not be always as easy as it appears – and not too safe either. Failing to perform a software update can cause serious malfunctions to the network storage.

So, before you even consider applying this release, carefully read the installation guide and initiate the process only when you have understood and completely familiarized yourself with all the steps.

Moreover, it would be best if you take into account using a UPS unit (Uninterruptible Power Supply) to perform this task, because no power disruption should affect the upgrade.

With all these aspects in mind, after you have read the installation guide, click the download button to apply this firmware version to your NAS. Remember to check back with our website in order to stay up to speed with the latest releases.

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
