Buffalo Technology LS-WSGL User Manual

The “Power Mode” switch on the back of the unit 

has three positions:  “Auto”, “On”, and “Off”.  The 

“Auto” position automatically powers the unit on or 

off based with your PC. If your PC is turned on the 

LinkStation will power up; if the PC is turned off 

the LinkStation will power down.
You must have installed the NAS Navigator software 

on your PC for this feature to work. Otherwise, if 

you move the switch to “auto”, your unit will power 

down by itself and you will have to manually turn it 

back on.
Also note that the unit needs to be powered on if 

you want to use the Web Access feature. When 

using Web Access, it is best to leave the Power 

Mode switch set to “On”.
Move the switch to the “Off” position to turn the 

LinkStation off.  It will take about 35 seconds to 

shut down.  Do not unplug or interrupt power to 

the unit until shutdown is complete and all LEDs 

are off.
