Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your NSA 24
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows the NSA to obtain an IP address and
subnet mask at start-up from a centralized DHCP server. Alternatively, you can give the NSA
a static IP address and subnet mask.
Full Network Management
The embedded web configurator is an platform-independent web-based utility that allows you
to easily access the NSA’s management settings.
Firmware Upload and Configuration File Management
Upload new firmware to the NSA using the web configurator. You can also back up and
restore the NSA configuration file containing all its settings to/from your computer.
NSA Discovery Utility (NDU)
Use the NDU from a Windows computer to find NSA(s) in your network, access the NSA
login page, change its IP address configuration or map to a Windows network drive.
Genie Backup Manager
Genie Backup Manager is a tool for Windows users to create (and schedule) backups of data
stored on their Windows computer to an NSA..
Note: The Genie Backup program uses the same network port as the NDU to
discover the NSA. To avoid a port conflict, do not run the Genie Backup at the
same time as the NDU.
Time and Date
Configure a time server and set a time zone for your NSA to show the correct times in e-mail
alerts and logs.
E-mail Alerts
Configure an e-mail to be sent to an NSA administrator whenever an error occurs or as a
scheduled log summary.
Note: See also the specification appendix for more detailed information on this NSA.
1.3 Applications for the NSA
Here are example applications for the NSA in a small home network and in an office network
with a DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone). It is recommended that the NSA is placed behind a firewall
and/or IDP device to protect it.
