Note: If you did not select the option to stay logged in for two weeks when you logged in, the web configurator management session automatically times out if it is left idle for 15 minutes. Simply log back into the NSA if this happens to you.

The main Home screen displays icons for the various features you can access.

Use File Browser to see your files in a tree-folder structure.

Administrators can use Application Zone to install, access, and manage the NSA’s applications.

Use System to edit general system settings or log into the administrator advanced configuration screens.

Note: Your browser may need Windows Media Player and VLC plugins installed to play music and video files. To get the VLC plugins, you have to download and install VLC (use the .exe file). To install a VLC plugin for Firefox, when you install VLC, you have to select the Mozilla plugin option.

Current VLC plugins may not support srt file format subtitles when playing videos.
