When you set up your NAS, it is technically a computer with a hard drive and a network share. It is running a lightweight Linux style web server.
You would name it "music nas" and give it a static IP on your network like 192.168.1.150
Now, most devices/tvs let you add "media servers" so you would just go to your "media servers" tab and add 192.168.1.150 as your local server.
You might need to use a 3rd party app to access the media there like Infuse/VLC/Plex.
So iPad opens the app Infuse, you configure infuse to look at the location inside your network for a computer named music nas at IP 192.168.1.150 then it uses that as the location repository for music.
If uploading from a windows PC, you'll go to run-> \\192.168.1.150 to see the unc share and drag and drop music or go to a web site interface https://192.168.1.150 to login and upload there.
Remember 192.168.1.150 is arbitrary, it has to match your network schema. Use a subnet calculator to find an ip available in your network if you don't know how or just post again and everyone will help.
