GS724T does it support LACP- I want to enable Port Trunking on Buffalo NAS Backup Drive

I have a Buffalo Terrastaion connected to LAN  with 2 discreet Gigabyte Ethernet connections to GS724T.

 

To improve bandwidth I can enable Port Trunking using Dynamic Link Aggregation on Terrastation, but in order for this to work LACP requires implementing on the GS724T.

 

I am now out of my technical depth and would appreciate some advice oe help on if it is possible to  to do this and if so how?

 

Is LACP available on the GS724T?

If so is it a Switch option, or is it implemented on the specific ports the NAS drive is connected to.

 

Thanks and eternally grateful
