Overview

The NSA-2401 (the NSA) is a network storage device for file sharing, data

backup and data protection in small (home) offices and/or medium-sized

offices. The NSA has two Gigabit LAN ports for connecting to one or two

networks.

This guide shows you how to:

• Install hard drives

• Make NSA Connections

• Access the NSA using NDU (NSA Discovery Utility) or your web browser

• Set up the NSA using the wizard

• Map the NSA to a network drive from any computer

See the User’s Guide for more details and specifications on the NSA.

Requirements

You need the following before you start:

• NSA

• Included CD containing the NDU (NSA Discovery Utility) and Genie

Backup Manager

• Power cord and power supply (external)

• 8-wire Ethernet cable for Gigabit Ethernet

• Up to four SATA-1 or 2 (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment)

compatible hard disks

• Screwdriver to install the hard disks in the disk trays

• USB cable (optional: you only need this if you want to expand storage

capacity by connecting compatible USB 2.0 drives)

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

• Network access device such as a switch or hub

ENGLISH ENGLISH

Install Hard Drives

For optimal performance and RAID storage capacity, use hard drives of the

same speed and capacity.

Back up any data you want to keep to another location before installing

the hard drives. You will have to format these hard drives so all data

stored on them will be lost.

1. Pull the tab on the left of the front door of the NSA to open it.

2. Pull out the latch and grip the sides of the tray to remove disk tray 1. Be

careful not to break the latch. Disk bay 1 is labelled on your NSA (the top-

left bay).

ENGLISH

3. Place the disk tray on a flat surface with the panel facing up. Place a hard

disk with the screw holes facing up on the same surface and slide it into

the disk tray. Secure it with the screws as shown.

4. Push the top of the tray back into NSA disk bay 1 until it snaps into place

and push the latch up as shown.

5. Repeat steps 1 to 3 for other hard drives that you may have.

ENGLISH ENGLISH

Make the NSA Connections

1. The Ethernet ports are on the rear. Use Ethernet cables to connect each

Ethernet port to a hub, switch, or router on your network. You can connect

them to the same subnet or different subnets. Use an 8-wire Ethernet

cable for Gigabit connections.

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.

ENGLISH

3. Turn on the power by pressing in the power button on the front of the NSA.

Look at the front panel lights.

• The PWR light turns steady green.

• The SYS light turns steady green after the NSA has booted successfully

(it takes about 50 seconds).

• The LAN1 and LAN2 lights turn on if the NSA Ethernet ports are

properly connected to your network. The LAN lights blink while

transmitting or receiving traffic.

ENGLISH ENGLISH

Access the NSA

You can access the NSA in one of two ways: using the NDU (NSA Discovery

Utility) or directly entering the NSA IP address into your web browser.

Use the NDU to Discover the NSA IP Address

Use the NDU (NSA Discovery Utility) on a Windows computer if your network

has a DHCP server that will assign the NSA an IP address and/or if you have

many NSAs in your network.

The Genie Backup program uses the same network port as the NDU to

discover the NSA. To avoid a port conflict, do not run the Genie Backup

at the same time as the NDU.

1. Insert the included CD into your CD-ROM drive. The next screen should

automatically display (autorun). Click the Setup icon.

2. The NDU installation wizard begins. Follow the installer instructions. Click

Finish to complete the installation.

ENGLISH

3. In Windows XP, click Start > All Programs, ZyXEL > NSA Discovery

Utility > ZyXEL NSA Discovery Utility to run the NDU. For other

Windows operating systems, procedures should be similar. If your

computer has more than one network card, then you will first be prompted

to select a network interface card.

4. The NDU main screen appears listing all hostnames, IP addresses and

status of all NSAs in your network. Click the icon under Admin to see the

main web configurator screen as shown in section . (If you want to change

the NSA IP address, click the icon under Config. If you want to map the

NSA to a Windows network drive, click the icon under Map (see section ).

To refresh the screen, click Discover.)
