Use the NAS as your own personal cloud. Here are some key features:

•Start using Zyxel NAS instantly with FindMe - Use Zyxel FindMe to discover your NAS on your home network and get in control in under 15 seconds. Then do an easy installation with no need to install a NAS utility.

•Access and share files from your NAS wherever you are - Using the Zyxel Drive mobile app makes it easy.

•Create a shared cloud space for people without a NAS - Provide your cloud space for your friends or family members when you share a folder from the NAS with the Zyxel Drive mobile app. Your friends and family members don’t need to purchase an additional NAS - just install the Zyxel Drive mobile app on their mobile devices.

•Protect your data from drive failure - The NAS’s RAID 1 capability clones contents from one drive to another. If a drive is damaged or corrupted, you still have another drive to restore from or use.

•Get up and running quickly with the easy-to-use interface - The Zyxel NSM (NAS Station Management) 5.2 intelligent desktop provides a rich feature set of tools with an easy-to-understand GUI design to help you get things done quickly. The multitasking capability through a multi-window interface enables you to quickly get applications up and running.

•Check your NAS while you’re away - Even if you have several Zyxel NAS devices, visit the myZyxelcloud Web portal from anywhere to see their health status at a glance.

•Stream multimedia contents to your big screen TV - Bring your favorite multimedia files on the NAS to the big screen. Zyxel zCloud app lets you play your favorite videos, music, or photos on your big screen with TV streaming devices such as Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Roku 3, and Amazon Fire TV; or directly on smart TVs like those from Samsung and LG.

A

B NAS

Above is the NAS in a home network. Users back up and share data on the NAS. The media player (A) plays the NAS’s media files on the TV. A USB hard drive (B) provides extra storage space and files are copied directly from the USB storage device to the NAS.

Place the NAS behind a firewall and/or IDP (Intrusion Detection and Prevention) device to protect it from attacks from the Internet.

Refer to the Quick Start Guide for hardware connections and how to install and remove hard drives from the disk trays.

Note: Turn off and disconnect the NAS before you install or remove the internal hard disk or disks.

1.2 LEDs

This table describes the NAS’s LEDs.

1.3 Hard Disks

The NAS has internal hard disk bays. Install SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) hard disks. Note that the SATA hard disks are treated as internal or SATA volumes. Any hard disk connected to a USB port is considered an external or USB volume.

1.4 SD Card

Use up to a 128 GB SDXC card with the front panel SD card slot. The SD card slot works with the COPY/ SYNC button (see Section 1.6 on page 16 for details).

1.5 Power Button

Use the power button on the front panel to turn the NAS on or off.

Power On

•Press the power button for one second to turn on the NAS. When the system is on and ready, you will hear one beep.

Power Off

•To have the NAS go through its normal software shutdown process and turn itself off, press the power button until you hear one beep (after about three seconds), then release it.

•To perform a hardware shutdown and have the NAS immediately turn itself off without going through the normal shutdown process, press the power button until you hear a second beep (after about five seconds), then release it.

1.6COPY/SYNC Button

Use the COPY/SYNC button on the front panel to copy or synchronize files between a connected USB or SD device and the NAS. See Section 16.4 on page 286 for more details on how to configure the copy/ sync settings.

1.7 RESET Button

Use the RESET button on the rear panel to restore the NAS’s default settings.

•Press the RESET button until you hear one beep (after about two seconds), then release it. You will hear one more beep after you release the button.

This resets the NAS’s IP address and password to the default values.

NAS Series User’s Guide

16

Chapter 1 Get to Know Your NAS

•Press the RESET button until you hear two beeps. After the second beep, continue pressing the button for five more seconds, then release it. You will hear three quick beeps after you release the button.

This resets the NAS to the factory default configuration. All settings you have configured on the NAS, including IP address, password, user accounts, groups, and so on will be reset to the factory defaults.

The reset process does NOT affect the volume settings, nor data stored on the NAS.

You should periodically back up your configuration file to your computer (see Section 11.5 on page 185 for details about managing the NAS’s configuration file). You could then restore your configuration in the event that you or someone else reset the NAS to the factory defaults.

Note: Keep the NAS in a secure location in order to prevent unauthorized reset of the device.

You may need to close and re-open the NAS Starter Utility to discover the NAS. This is because the NAS automatically re-acquires IP address information, so its IP address may change. If no IP address information is assigned, the NAS uses Auto-IP to assign itself an IP address and subnet mask. For example, you could connect the NAS directly to your computer. If the computer is also set to get an IP address automatically, the computer and the NAS will choose addresses for themselves and be able to communicate.

2.3NAS Starter Utility

•The NAS Starter Utility broadcasts a request packet when you first run it. Each NAS has an NAS Starter Utility Agent that always listens and responds to requests from the NAS Starter Utility. The NAS Starter Utility receives the response packet that contains information, such as host name, IP, and so on.

•If you plan to use more than one NAS in your network, configure them with unique server names. This enables you to identify each NAS in the NAS Starter Utility screens.

2.3.1 NAS Seeker Screen

Use this screen to view the NASs in your network. The NAS’s Server Name. The default is ‘NAS’ followed by the number of your model (‘NAS540’ for example). See Section 2.3.5 on page 23 for how to change it to a more recognizable one in your network.

Click the NAS Starter Utility icon on your desktop or in the Windows system tray to start the NAS Starter Utility. Alternatively you can click Start > Programs > Zyxel > NAS Starter Utility.

CHAPTER 3

Web Configurator

3.1 Overview

This chapter describes how to access the NAS web configurator and provides an overview of its screens. The web configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy NAS setup and management using an Internet browser.

Use Internet Explorer 11.0.9, Mozilla Firefox 31.0, Safari 5.1.7, Google Chrome 37.0.2, or later versions of these browsers. The recommended screen resolution is 1440 by 900 pixels or higher.

In order to use the web configurator you need to allow:

•Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2.

•JavaScript (enabled by default).

3.2Access the NAS Web Configurator

This guide uses the NAS326 screens as an example. The screens may vary slightly for different models.

1Make sure your NAS is properly connected and that your computer is in the same subnet as the NAS (refer to the Quick Start Guide or the appendices).

Open your web browser and type in the server name of the NAS. The default is “nas” followed by the number of your model (“nas326” for example). Configure the server name of your NAS using the Control Panel > System > Server Name screen (Section 9.4 on page 148) or the System Setting screen (Section 2.3.5 on page 23) of the NAS Starter Utility.

Figure 17 NAS URL

2The default user name and password are “admin” and “1234” respectively. Enter your user name and password. See Chapter 7 on page 104 for how to create other user accounts. If you use the option to stay logged in (assuming you do not log out), make sure you keep your computer secure from unauthorized access. Click the arrow to log in. Logging in with a (non-administrator) user account takes you to a different Desktop screen (see Section 3.3 on page 30 for details).

Make sure you have a backup of any existing data in the hard disk before installing it in the NAS. Creating a volume formats the hard disk and deletes all data in the process.

Retype the password for confirmation in the Password (Confirm) field. Click Cancel if you do not want to change the password this time. Click Apply to save your changes back to the NAS.
