NAS Starter Utility for NSA210

3.1 Overview

This chapter describes the NAS Starter Utility for NSA210. 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. The NAS Starter Utility software version number is 2.02.

Note: If you have a NSA221, NSA310, NSA320 or NSA325, it is recommended to use the latest version of the NAS Starter Utility (see Chapter 2 on page 21). Installing the latest version of the utility will uninstall previous versions.

Note: If the NSA210 will be used on the same network as the NSA221, NSA310, NSA320, or NSA325, utility version 2.02 must first be used to install firmware on the NSA210. You can then install the latest version of the utility for NSA221, NSA310, NSA320, or NSA325 on your computer (see Chapter 2 on page 21). The NSA210 can be configured by Web Configurator by entering its IP address or server name (see the NAS Seeker on Section 2.3 on page 21) into your web browser (see Section 4.2.2 on page 48).

3.2Starting 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.
