Tips for Reading User’s Guides On-Screen
When reading a ZyXEL User’s Guide On-Screen, keep the following in mind:
• If you don’t already have the latest version of Adobe Reader, you can download
it from http://www.adobe.com.
• Use the PDF’s bookmarks to quickly navigate to the areas that interest you.
Adobe Reader’s bookmarks pane opens by default in all ZyXEL User’s Guide
PDFs.
• If you know the page number or know vaguely which page-range you want to
view, you can enter a number in the toolbar in Reader, then press [ENTER] to
jump directly to that page.
• Type [CTRL]+[F] to open the Adobe Reader search utility and enter a word or
phrase. This can help you quickly pinpoint the information you require. You can
also enter text directly into the toolbar in Reader.
• To quickly move around within a page, press the [SPACE] bar. This turns your
cursor into a “hand” with which you can grab the page and move i t around freely
on your screen.
• Embedded hyperlinks are actually cross-references to related text. Click them to
jump to the corresponding section of the User’s Guide PDF.

CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your NSA
1.1 Overview
This chapter covers the main features and applications of the NSA.
Use the NSA210 to do the following.
• Share files between computers on your network.
• Back up files from your computers to the NSA.
•Use the COPY/SYNC button to copy or synchronize files between the NSA and
USB devices like card readers, MP3 players, mass storage devices, and digital
cameras without using a computer.
• Have the NSA handle large file downloads.
• Automatically download files from website feeds for convenient viewing.
• Play the NSA’s video, music and photo files on your computers using the
included media client software.
• Play the NSA’s video, music and photo files on hardware-based media clients
like the DMA-2500.
• Use the NSA’s website to share files with remote users.
• Use iTunes on your computer to play video and music files stored on the NSA.
• Share printers.
• Automatically upload photo and video files to your FTP server, Flickr and
YouTube accounts.

Figure 1 Example of the NSA in a Home Network
NSA
Above is the NSA in a home network. Users back up and share data on the NSA.
The DMA-2500 plays the NSA’s media files on the TV. A USB hard drive provides
extra storage space and files are copied directly from the USB mass st orage device
to the NSA.
Place the NSA behind a firewall and/or IDP (Intrusion Detection and Prevention)
device to protect it from attacks from the Internet.
Note: See Chapter 19 on page 409 for a more detailed list of NSA features and lists of
compatible hard drives and USB devices.
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 NSA before you install or remove the internal hard
disk.

NSA210 User’s Guide
1.2 Firmware
Before you can start using your NSA, you ha ve to install the firmwa re on the hard
disk. Use the NAS Starter Utility to do this. See Chapter 2 on page 29 for more
information on the NAS Starte r Ut i lity.
Figure 2 NSA210 Hard Disk Partition
FW
Your NSA210’s
firmware is
installed in the
hard disk.
The firmware includes the features mentioned in Section 3.5.2 on page 72. You
can use the Package Management screen (Chapter 10 on page 247) to install
more applications from a web location (specified in the firmware) to your NSA.
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your NSA
Hard disk
1.3 Hard Disk
Your NS A has one internal hard disk bay and one external S A TA (eSAT A) port. This
allows you to connect one internal SAT A (Serial Adv anced Technology Attachment)
hard disk and one eSATA hard disk (optional).
After installing the firmware on the internal hard disk, it is configured as a JBOD
volume by default. JBOD stands for Just a Bunch Of Disk and in this storage
method, all disk space is used for your data - none is used for backup. If you are
not using an eSATA hard disk, JBOD is the only storage method you can use.
If you attach an eSATA (external SATA) hard disk, you can create a RAID 1
volume. RAID 1 allows data recovery in case your hard disk fails. To create a RAID
1 volume on the NSA, you must delete the JBOD volume created by the firmware.
Refer to Section 7.4 on page 173 for the Storage screen where you can create the
RAID 1 volume.
The eSATA hard disk can also be configured as a JBOD or a PC Compatible Volume.
See Section 7.5.2 on page 180 for more information on these storage methods.
Note that both SA T A and eSA TA hard disks are treated as internal or SAT A volumes
in the Storage screen (Section 7.4 on page 173). Any hard disk connected to the
USB port(s) is considered an external or USB volume.

1.4.1 COPY/SYNC Button
Use the COPY/SYNC button on the front panel to copy or synchronize files
between a connected USB device and the NSA. See Section 9.10 on page 231 for
more details on how to configure the copy/sync settings.
1.4.2 RESET Button
Use the RESET button on the rear panel to restore the NS A’s default settings.

Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your NSA
•Press the RESET button until you hear two beeps. After the second beep,
continue pressing the button for five more seconds, then release it. Y ou will hear
three quick beeps after you release the button.
This resets the NSA to the factory default configuration. All settings you have
configured on the NSA, including IP address, password, user accounts, groups,
and so on will be reset to the factory defaults.
The reset process does NOT affect the vo lume settings, nor data stored on the
NSA.
You should periodically back up your configuration file to your computer (see
Section 15.5 on page 352 for details about managing the NSA’s configur ation file).
You could then restore your configuration in the event that you or someone else
reset the NSA to the factory defaults.
Note: You should keep the NSA in a secure location in order to prevent unauthorized
reset of the device.

CHAPTER 2
NAS Starter Utility
2.1 Overview
The NAS Starter Utility descriptions are divided into the following sections:
• Starting the NAS Starter Utility on page 30
• NAS Discovery Screen on page 31
• Main NAS Starter Utility Screen on page 32
• Initialization Wizard on page 33
• Import Files or Folders with zPilot on page 45
• Add a Network Drive to My Computer on page 46
• Manage the Device on page 47
• Configure Network Setting on page 47
• NAS Starter Utility Icon Menu (Windows) on page 49
• NAS Starter Utility Icon Menu (Mac) on page 50
You must use the NAS Starter Utility each time you install a new hard disk on the
NSA. The NAS Starter Utility:
• Discovers and accesses the NSA’s Web Configurator when you connect the NSA
for the first time to your computer or your network.
• Initializes the hard disk, which includes formatting it.
• Installs the firmware on the hard disk in your NSA so you can start configuring
the NSA.
NSA210 User’s Guide

Chapter 2 NAS Starter Utility
The NAS Starter Utility formats the hard disk so that it installs the firmware on one
partition and your data on another, as described in the following figure.
Figure 5 NSA210 Hard Disk Partition
Hard disk
Hard disk
partition
where NSA
installs the
firmware
Make sure you have a backup of any existing data in the hard disk
before installing it in the NSA. The NSA reformats the hard disk so
any data is lost.
The Windows version of the NAS Starter Utility works with Windows 2000,
Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7. The Mac OS version works with Mac OS
X 10.4 and later versions.
Note: Refer to the Quick Start Guide for your NSA’s hardware connections and the
steps for installing the NAS Starter Utility.
2.2 Starting the NAS Starter Utility
Hard disk
partition
where NSA
stores data
• The NAS Starter Utility broadcasts a request packet when you first run it. Each
NSA 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 NSA in your network, configure them with
unique server names. This enables you to identify each NSA in the NAS Starter
Utility screens.
• The NAS Starter Utility checks whether a hard disk is initialized or uninitialized.
An initialized hard disk has the NSA firmware installed and can be used readily.
An uninitialized hard disk can be a new hard disk or a used hard disk that has a
different format than the NSA. In this case, the NSA has to initialize the hard
disk by formatting it and installing the NSA firmware. All previous data is
deleted so back up any files in the hard disk before installing it in the NSA.
