Introduction

The NSA lets you share files and back up data on your home network. You can also play video, music, and show photo files stored on the NSA using a media client such as the DMA-1000.

How It Works

Above is the NSA in a home network. Users back up and share data on the NSA. The DMA-1000 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 memory stick 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.

Getting Started

• Install Hard Drives, 6

• Connect the NSA, 9

• Access the NSA, 11

• NSA Login, 14

• Create a Volume, 15

• Map the NSA to Your Computer Network Drive, 18

• Backing up Files Using Memeo Autobackup, 20

See the User’s Guide on the included CD for details on configuring all of the NSA’s features.

ENGLISH

Before You Begin

You need the following before you start:

• NSA

• Included CD containing the NSA Discovery Utility, Memeo Autobackup program, Media Client software, and User’s Guide

• Power cord and power supply (external)

• Included Ethernet cable

• One or two SATA I or SATA II (3.0 Gbit/s) (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) compatible hard disk(s) with 15-pin SATA power connectors

• Philips screwdriver to install hard disks in the disk trays

• USB cable (optional: you only need this if you want to expand storage capacity by connecting compatible USB (version 2) drives). It is recommended that the USB device use it’s own external power adaptor if it has one.

• Computer with Network Interface Card (NIC) and TCP/IP installed

• Network device such as a switch, router, or hub

Install Hard Drives

Once you intall a hard drive on the NSA and create a volume, all existing data on the disk will be erased. If you want to install two hard drives and configure them as RAID volumes (see page 15), it is recommended to use the same disk size and model for best performance.

 Hard drives are NOT hot swappable. The NSA must

be turned off before you remove or install hard drive(s).

 Creating a volume formats the hard drives. All data

will be lost. Back up any files on the disk to another location before you install the disk in the NSA.

1. Make sure the power and Ethernet cords are disconnected from the

NSA.

2. Loosen the thumbscrews on the rear panel and open it.

ENGLISH

3. Use a screwdriver to remove the retaining screw from a disk tray.

4. Slide the disk tray out.

5. Place the disk on a flat surface with the screw holes facing up. Place

the disk tray on top of it and secure it with the screws as shown.

6. Slide the tray back into the disk bay. Make sure the screw hole is at

the top. Push the tray in all the way so the screw hole at the top is flush with the internal frame.

7. Put the disk tray retaining screw back in.

8. Repeat steps 3 to 7 for a second hard drive if you have one.

9. Put the rear panel back on and tighten the thumbscrews.

ENGLISH

Connect the NSA

1. Use the included Ethernet cable to connect the LAN port on the rear of the NSA to a computer, switch, or router on your network.

2. Connect one end of the power cord to the POWER socket on the rear of the NSA and the other end to the external power supply. Connect the external power supply to a power outlet.

 Use ONLY the included power supply.

3. Press the power button on the front of the NSA to turn it on. Look at

the front panel lights.

 If no lights turn on, make sure the power cord is not loose

and that the power source is turned on.

• The power button light turns steady blue.

• The SYS light turns steady green after a successful startup (it takes about 50 seconds).

• The HDD lights come on if the NSA detects hard drives in the disk bays.

• The rear panel LAN port has a light that turns on if the Ethernet port is properly connected to your network. It blinks while sending or receiving traffic.

To turn off the NSA, press the power button in and hold it until you hear a beep. Then release the button.

ENGLISH

Access the NSA

For a Windows computer, use the Discovery Utility (see page 11).

For another type of computer (like Mac or Linux), use Direct Access (see page 13).

Using the Discovery Utility to Access the NSA

1. Insert the included CD into your CD-ROM drive. Click Setup in the screen that displays. Then click the NSA Discovery Utility link.

 If this screen does not display, use Windows Explorer (My

Computer) to go to the CD-ROM (commonly drive D). Double-click setup.exe.

2. The installation wizard begins. Follow the installer instructions. Click Finish to complete the installation.

3. In Windows, click Start > All Programs > ZyXEL NSA > NSA Discovery Utility to run the discovery utility. If your computer has

more than one network card, then you will be prompted to select one.

4. The utility lists the NSAs in your network.

5. Click the Admin icon to see the web configurator login screen (see

page 14).

• If you need to change the NSA IP address, click the icon under

Config.

• To map the NSA to a Windows network drive, click the icon under

Map (see page 18).

• To refresh the screen, click Discover.

ENGLISH

Direct Access

Open Internet Explorer (or another web browser like Firefox). Type ‘nsa220plus’ as the website address and press [Enter] or click Go.

NSA Login

This section shows you how to log into the NSA and change the administrator’s password.

 If you cannot get to the login screen, see the troubleshooting

section at the end of this guide.

1. Enter the default username ‘admin’ and password ‘1234’ and click Login.

 The username and password are case sensitive. You may

need to make sure you don’t have the caps lock on.

2. It is recommended that you change to a new password (and write it down). Click Apply to save your changes and go to the next screen.

3. The My NSA screen displays.

ENGLISH

Create a Volume

This section shows you how to create an internal volume in the NSA. A volume is a storage area on one or more hard drives.

1. Click Administration.

2. If there is not already an internal volume (storage area), click Storage

from the navigation panel, and then click Create an Internal Volume. If your hard drive already has a volume that you want to use, skip to section 6. If you want to delete an existing volume, see the Storage Screens chapter in the User’s Guide.

 Creating a volume formats the hard drives. All data

will be lost.

3. If you have two hard disks installed, select a disk configuration.

• JBOD (maximum data storage space)

Uses the whole storage capacity of each disk, even if there are two hard disks with different storage capacities. With two hard disks, you can create two volumes (one for each disk) so a failure of one hard disk should not affect the other. With two hard disks in a single JBOD volume, you lose all the data on both disks if one disk fails.

• RAID 0 (not recommended)

Has the highest write speeds but if one disk fails, you lose all the data on both disks. Only use RAID 0 for non-critical data requiring high write speeds (like video, graphics, and games). Total data storage space is limited to twice the capacity of the smallest disk.

• RAID 1 (recommended)

Mirrors one disk’s data on the second disk for data security. RAID 1 is slower than RAID 0, but you can recover all of your data if a disk fails. Total data storage space is limited to the capacity of the smallest disk.

ENGLISH

4. Enter a name in the Volume Name field. Click Apply to begin volume

creation.

5. Wait while the volume is being created.

6. You can use the volume after the status is Healthy. For a RAID volume, the status is Resync until the volume is ready.

7. If two disks are installed and you created a single-disk JBOD volume,

repeat the steps to create a second volume on the other disk.

Map the NSA to Your Computer Network Drive

You store files on the NSA in shares (these are like shared Windows folders). Map a NSA share to a Windows network drive to be able to use Windows Explorer to transfer files to and from the NSA. After mapping a share, you can drag and drop files between your computer and the NSA.

1. In Windows, click Start > All Programs > ZyXEL NSA > NSA Discovery Utility to run the discovery utility. If your computer has

more than one network card, then you will be prompted to select one.

2. The utility lists the NSAs in your network. Click the MAP icon in the discovery utility.

ENGLISH

3. The NSA public folder displays in Windows Explorer.

4. Click Tools > Map Network Drive. In the Drive field, select a drive

letter to use for the NSA. In the Folder field, select the NSA (you may need to browse to find it).

5. If your computer does not have the discovery utility installed, you can open Windows Explorer and type two back slashes followed by the NSA server name (nsa220plus by default) or IP address.

Backing up Files Using Memeo Autobackup

Use the Memeo Autobackup software included on the CD to automatically back up selected files from your computer to the NSA whenever you modify the files.

Requirements

Memeo Autobackup works with Windows 2000 Workstation with Service Pack 6, Windows XP Pro, or Windows XP Home Edition.

Memeo Autobackup Installation and Setup

 The Memeo Autobackup program uses the same network

port as the discovery utility to discover the NSA. To avoid a port conflict, turn off the discovery utility before using Memeo Autobackup.

1. Since a computer restart is required, close your other files and programs before installing the Memeo Autobackup software.

ENGLISH

2. Insert the included CD into your CD-ROM drive. Click the Tools icon in the screen that displays. Then click Memeo Instant Backup Software.

 If this screen does not display, use Windows Explorer (My

Computer) to go to the CD-ROM (commonly drive D). Double-click setup.exe.

3. Follow the instructions to install the software.

Memeo Autobackup requires Microsoft.NET version 1.1. The wizard installs it for you if it is not already on your computer.

4. When you see the following screen, select Network Places and click the link to select your backup folder.

5. Select the NSA’s mapped drive and click OK.

6. In this screen, select the items that you want to back up.

ENGLISH

7. This screen lists the items you selected for backup. Confirm your selections and click Next.

8. Specify a name for your backup plan (or just use the default). Click Next and then Done.

Using Memeo Autobackup After the Initial Setup

After you have installed and configured Memeo Autobackup, doubleclick the icon in the system tray to open the program’s start screen.

If the icon is not displayed, you can click Start > Programs > Memeo

Autobackup > Memeo Autobackup to start it.

ENGLISH

Troubleshooting

Try the following if you cannot get to the NSA login screen.

• Make sure the NSA is turned on.

• Check the NSA’s cable connections. Make sure the NSA’s LAN

LED (located on the LAN port) is on or flashing.

• If you were trying to login directly by typing the server name (default

nsa220plus) into your web browsers address field, make sure you typed it correctly. If it still doesn’t work, try using the discovery utility.

• Make sure your computer’s IP address is in the same subnet as the

NSA’s IP address. You can use the discovery utility to find the NSA’s IP address. See the User’s Guide appendix on setting up your computer’s IP address for how to change your computer’s IP address. Skip this if you know that there are routers between your computer and the NSA (like if you are connecting through the Internet).

• Ping the NSA from your computer. Make sure your computer’s

Ethernet adapter is installed and functioning properly. In a (Windows) computer, click Start, (All) Programs, Accessories and then Command Prompt. In the Command Prompt window, type “ping” followed by the NSA’s IP address and press [ENTER]. Use the discovery utility to find the NSA’s IP address if you don’t know it.

• Use Internet Explorer 6.0, Mozilla Firefox 1.07, Netscape Navigator

7.0, or later versions of these with JavaScript enabled.

Einführung

Mit dem NSA können Sie in Ihrem Heimnetzwerk von verschiedenen Geräten aus gemeinsam auf Dateien zugreifen und Daten sichern. Sie können mit einem Medien-Client wie dem DMA-1000 auch Video-, Musik- und Fotodateien abspielen, die auf dem NSA gespeichert sind.

So funktioniert es

Die obige Abbildung zeigt den NSA in einem Heimnetzwerk. Benutzer sichern Daten auf dem NSA und haben gemeinsamen Zugriff darauf. Der DMA-1000 spielt die Mediendateien des NSA auf dem Fernsehgerät ab. Eine USB-Festplatte bietet zusätzlichen Speicherplatz, und Dateien werden direkt vom USB-Memorystick auf das NSA geladen.

Schließen Sie das NSA hinter einer Firewall und/oder ein IDP-Gerät (Intrusion Detection and Prevention), um es vor Angriffen aus dem Internet zu schützen.

Erste Schritte

• Installieren der Festplatten, 30

• Anschließen des NSA, 33

• Zugreifen auf das NSA, 35

• NSA Anmelden, 38

• Erstellen eines Volumes, 39

• Mappen des NSA auf das Computernetzwerklaufwerk, 42

• Sichern von Dateien mit Memeo Autobackup, 45

Eine Beschreibung zum Konfigurieren aller Funktionen des NSA finden Sie im Benutzerhandbuch, das auf der CD enthalten ist.

DEUTSCH

Vor der Installation

Bevor Sie anfangen, benötigen Sie Folgendes:

• NSA

• Die mitgelieferte CD (mit dem NSA Discovery Utility-Programm,

dem Memeo Autobackup-Programm, der Medienclient-Software und dem Benutzerhandbuch)

• Netzkabel und Netzteil (extern)

• Das mitgelieferte Ethernet-Kabel

• Eine oder zwei Festplatten mit 15-poligen SATA-Anschlüssen, die

mit SATA I oder SATA II (3.0 Gbit/s) (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) kompatibel sind.

• Kreuzschlitzschraubendreher zum Festschrauben der Festplatten

in den Einschub.

• USB-Kabel (optional: Dieses benötigen Sie nur, wenn Sie durch

Anschließen von USB-Laufwerken (Ver. 2) die Speicherkapazität erweitern möchten). Es wird empfohlen, USB-Geräte mit eigenem Netzadapter zu verwenden.

• Computer mit Netzwerkkarte (NIC) und installiertem TCP/IP

• Netzwerkgerät wie Switch, Router oder Hub

Installieren der Festplatten

Sobald Sie eine Festplatte auf dem NSA installieren und ein Volume erstellen, werden alle auf der Disk vorhandenen Daten gelöscht. Wenn Sie zwei Festplatten installieren und sie als RAID-Volumes konfigurieren möchten (siehe Seite 39), sollten Sie für eine optimale Leistung zweimal dasselbe Festplattenmodell mit derselben Größe verwenden.

 Festplatten dürfen NICHT bei eingeschaltetem

Gerät angeschlossen und abgetrennt werden. Schalten Sie das NSA aus, bevor Sie die Festplatte(n) einsetzen oder entfernen.

 Beim Erstellen eines Volumes werden die

Festplatten formatiert. Alle Daten gehen verloren. Bevor Sie die Disk auf dem NSA installieren, sollten Sie alle anderen Dateien unbedingt an einem anderen Speicherort sichern.

1. Stellen Sie sicher, dass das Netz- und das Ethernetkabel vom NSA

abgetrennt sind.

2. Lösen Sie die Rändelschrauben an der Rückseite des Gehäuses, und öffnen Sie das Gehäuse.
