Getting to Know Your NAS
1.1 Overview
Use the NAS as your own personal cloud. Here are some key features:
Start using ZyXEL NAS instantly with FindMe - Use ZyXEL FindMe to discover your NAS on your
home network and get in control in under 15 seconds. Then do an easy installation with no need to
install a NAS utility.
Access and share files from your NAS wherever you are - Using the ZyXEL Drive mobile app
makes it easy.
Create a shared cloud space for people without a NAS - Provide your cloud space for your
friends or family members when you share a folder from the NAS with the ZyXEL Drive mobile app.
Your friends and family members don’t need to purchase an additional NAS - just install the ZyXEL
Drive mobile app on their mobile devices.
Protect your data from drive failure - The NAS’s RAID 1 capability clones contents from one
drive to another. If a drive is damaged or corrupted, you still have another drive to restore from or
use.
Get up and running quickly with the easy-to-use interface - The ZyXEL NSM (NAS Station
Management) 5.1 intelligent desktop provides a rich feature set of tools with an easy-to-understand
GUI design to help you get things done quickly. The multitasking capability through a multi-window
interface enables you to quickly get applications up and running.
Check your NAS while you’re away - Even if you have several ZyXEL NAS devices, visit the
myZyXELcloud Web portal from anywhere to see their health status at a glance.
Stream multimedia contents to your big screen TV - Bring your favorite multimedia files on
the NAS to the big screen. ZyXEL zCloud app lets you play your favorite videos, music, or photos on
your big screen with TV streaming devices such as Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Roku 3, and
Amazon Fire TV; or directly on smart TVs like those from Samsung and LG.
