4 Check your settings. If they are OK, click Next. Otherwise click Back. If you want to change
anything other than the user accounts, keep clicking Back until you can change the wizard type to
manual.
5 Wait while the NAS Starter Utility configures the NSA.
After the NAS Starter Utility finishes configuring the NSA, you can select Run zPilot to launch the
zPilot to drag and drop files onto the NSA (see Section 2.6 on page 27) after clicking Finish or just
click Finish to return to the main NAS Starter Utility screen (see Section 2.4 on page 23).
2.5.2 Manual Configuration
1 Set up the NSA’s basic network configuration first.
2 If your Internet connection requires you to enter a user name and password to connect to the
Internet, enter them here and click Next. If you do not need to enter a user name and password to
connect to the Internet, click Skip.
3 The NAS Starter Utility checks the Internet connection.
4 Type a new administrator password (and retype it to confirm) and click Next. If you do not want to
change the administrator password, you can leave the fields blank and just click Next.
5 Specify a name to uniquely identify the NSA on your network. Choose the time zone of your
location. This sets the time difference between your time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).
6 Select how to configure the hard disks.
With only one hard disk installed, just click Next. If you have two hard disks installed choose one
of the following:
• RAID 1: Use this to mirror all data on one disk to the other disk to protect against data loss.
• Individual Disks: Use this if you want maximum storage capacity and/or you have other means
of protecting your data. This creates two JBOD volumes (with one disk in each), a failure of
one disk (volume) should not affect the other volume (disk).

LABEL DESCRIPTION
Get IP
automatically from
DHCP server
Select this if the NSA is automatically assigned an IP address from the ISP or a DHCP
server in your network.
Assign IP Manually Select this if you want to assign the NSA a fixed IP address, subnet mask and default
gateway.
Note: Do not configure an IP address that is already in use in your network. This results to
a network IP address conflict and makes the NSA inaccessible.
Use DNS server
from DHCP server
Domain Name System (DNS) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP
address and vice versa. Select this if the NSA is automatically given DNS information
from the ISP or a DHCP server in your network.
Assign DNS server
manually
If you were given specific IP address(es) of the DNS server(s), select this and enter the
primary and secondary DNS in the corresponding fields.
