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 NSA 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.

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 18 on page 373 for a more detailed list of NSA features.
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.
1.2 Hard Disks
Your NSA has two internal hard disk bays. Install one or two SATA (Serial
Advanced Technology Attachment) hard disks. Note that both SATA hard disks are
treated as internal or SATA volumes in the Storage > Volume screen (Section
7.4 on page 165). Any hard disk connected to the USB port(s) is considered an
external or USB volume.

1.3.1 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 216 for
more details on how to configure the copy/sync settings.

1.3.2 RESET Button
Use the RESET button on the rear panel to restore the NS A’s default settings.
Figure 3 The RESET Button
Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your NSA
Press
•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 NSA’s IP address and password to the default values.
•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 332 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.
You ma y need to close and re-o pen the NAS Starter Utility to discover the NSA.
This is because the NSA automatically re-acquires IP address information, so its IP
address may change. If no IP address information is assigned, the NSA uses
Auto-IP to assign itself an IP address and subnet mask. For example, you could
connect the NSA directly to your computer. If the computer is also set to get an IP
address automatically, the computer and the NSA will choose addresses for
themselves and be able to communicate.

CHAPTER 2
NAS Starter Utility
2.1 Overview
This chapter describes the NAS Starter Utility. Use the NAS Starter Utility to find,
set up, and manage the NSA as well as copy files to it and access the files on it.
Make sure you have a backup of any existing data in the hard disk
before installing it in the NSA. Using the initialization wizard
formats the hard disk and deletes all data in the process.
There is a NAS Starter Utility available for Windows XP, Windows Vista, or
Windows 7. Click Help to open a web help page about the NAS Starter Utility
screens. NAS Starter Utility screens are shown here as they display with the
Windows platform.
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
• 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.
2.3 NAS Discovery Screen
Use this screen to view the NSAs in your network. The NSA’s Server Name
(default is ‘nsa320’). See Section 2.9 on page 45 for how to change it to a more
recognizable one in your network.

Chapter 2 NAS Starter Utility
Start the NAS Starter Utility (click the icon in your Desktop or in Start >
Programs > ZyXEL > NAS Starter Utility). The first time you open the NAS
Starter Utility the discovery screen appears as follows.
Figure 4 NAS Discovery
The following table describes the labels in this screen.
Table 2 NAS Discovery
LABEL DESCRIPTION
Refresh Click this to refresh the screen. The NAS Starter Utility does not
automatically refresh.
Hostname This is the server name you configured for the NSA. If you have more
than one NSA in your network, it is recommended that you give each
one a unique name for identification purposes.
If you have several NSAs connected to your computer/network, hover
your mouse over the host name to view the details of each device. A
box pops up containing details about the NSA.
Hostname shows the NSA’s configured server name.
IP shows the NSA’s current IP address.
Model ID shows the NSA’s model name.
Firmware Version shows the version of firmware the NSA is currently
using.
Status shows whether the NSA is Online, Unreachable,
Configuring, or Config Failed.
