•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. You 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 volume 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 configuration 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 may need to close and re-open 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.
