CHAPTER 1
Getting to Know Your NSA
This chapter covers the main features and applications of the NSA.
1.1 NSA Overview
Use the NSA (Network Storage Appliance) 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, memory sticks, 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-1000.
• 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.

Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your NSA
Above is the NSA in a home network. Users back up and share data on the NSA. The DMA1000 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.
" See Chapter 14 on page 197 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.
" Turn off and disconnect the NSA before you install or remove internal hard
drives.
1.1.1 LEDs
The NSA LEDs (lights) tell you important information.

A. The HDD1 and HDD2 LEDs are dual-color (green and red). The green LED is normally on when you have a hard
disk installed. If the NSA detects an error on the disk, the disk’s connection comes loose, or the disk fails, the red
LED also comes on. Since the green LED still stays on, the color appears to be orange. If the NSA is no longer
able to detect a hard disk in the disk bay, the green LED turns off and the LED appears as red.
Green On A USB device is connected to the NSA.
Red On Copying or synchronizing files to or from the USB device failed.
Blinking The 100M LAN is sending or receiving packets.
Off The NSA does not have a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connection.
Blinking The 1000 M LAN is sending or receiving packets.
Off The NSA does not have a 1000 Mbps Ethernet connection.
Blinking The NSA is copying or synchronizing files to or from the USB
device.
Off No USB device is connected.
1.1.2 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 7.8 on page 129 for more details on how to
configure the copy/sync settings.
