If you have a single-user license and want to use search your NAS from a single Mac, then you just need to add your NAS to the "custom folders", in the "indexed data" tab of the "manage indices" window. Either drag and drop your NAS (or some specific subfolders) from the Finder, or click the "+" icon and select it.
If you want to search your NAS from multiple Macs, then you need a 5-user license or more; create an index dedicated to your NAS (in addition to local indices you don't want to share), then share it from the "sharing" tab. Make sure that "file sharing integration" is correctly configured, so when you connect to the index from another Mac, the files will actually be found on the NAS drive.
