Chapter 17 Troubleshooting

17.3 NAS Starter Utility

The NAS Starter Utility cannot discover my NSA.

Close the NAS Starter Utility and reopen it.

Check your hardware connections and make sure they are set up correctly.

Only one instance of the NAS Starter Utility can run on your computer. Make sure you close any duplicate windows for this application.

Wait for the SYS LED to stop blinking before clicking Discover.

Confirm that the computer running the NAS Starter Utility has a network connection. See the section on the NSA’s LAN connection for related information.

The computer running the NAS Starter Utility can only discover NSAs in the same subnet. NSAs connected to the same switch or router as your NAS Starter Utility computer are usually in the same subnet unless the router is doing subnetting or the switch is implementing VLAN.

The Memeo Autobackup program uses the same network port as the NAS Starter Utility to discover the NSA. To avoid a port conflict, do not run the Memeo Autobackup program at the same time as the NAS Starter Utility.

The NAS Starter Utility discovered my NSA but the status is always unreachable, even though I can access it.

You may need to add the NAS Starter Utility to your software firewall’s allow list or lower your software firewall or anti-virus scanner’s security level. Alternatively you may have to configure your software firewall or other security software to allow UDP port 50127 traffic from the NSA. If there is a hardware firewall between you and the NSA, configure it to allow UDP port 50127 traffic from the NSA.

I was able to access the NSA on a previous attempt but I cannot access the NSA anymore.

If you enable jumbo frames on the NSA in a network that does not support them, you will lose access to the NSA. If this occurs, you will have to restore the factory default configuration. The reset process does NOT affect the volume settings, nor data stored on the NSA. 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.
