WEB INTERFACE PART 1

ASUSTOR uses their very own ADM (ASUSTOR Data Master) operating system and right from the login screen you know they place a good amount of weight on looks.

The main screen shows that only the basic applications are installed and as ASUSTOR explained to us they don't install any extra ones by default since people may not need them so they leave that selection to you (the New Page at the bottom can also be renamed).

As always from the Access tab you can add/remove user accounts, groups, domain users, domain groups and also gives you the ability to create shared folders and set application privileges.

From the Activity Monitor tab you can check the available space on the installed drive(s), monitor the CPU/Memory/Network utilizations and see what processes are currently running.

The App Central menu is kinda self-explanatory so from here you can see the installed applications, see the recommended apps by ASUSTOR, check all available applications (over 100), check for application updates and of course add/remove applications. We did install some application which we will go through later on.

From within the Backup & Restore tab you can use remote sync options, setup FTP/External backups, configure the one touch backup (front USB port), use the cloud backup feature and also adjust the system settings.

The File Explorer page allows you to upload and download files from and onto the NAS without much effort.

The Services tab includes several server options for Windows/Mac OSX/NFS/FTP Server/WebDAV/Web Server/MySQL Server/Terminal and Rsync use.

Under the settings tab ASUSTOR has placed pretty much everything you can adjust including the media mode feature (need to enable it to watch content on your TV), network settings, regional options, hardware options (LEDs/Buzzer/Fan control/Power settings), various notification options, ADM defender (firewall), ADM update (manual or automatic), network recycle bin, energy saver (drive standby mode/fan control/wake on LAN), ease of access (Cloud Connect/EZ Router/DDNS), factory default settings and product registration.
