SNMP V3 service: Selecting this checkbox will enable SNMP V3 service. Username: Please input the SNMP V3 username here.
Reverse Proxy Protect Multiple NAS Devices with HTTPS Security Reverse proxy servers help retrieve resources on behalf of a client and secure the data transmitted. This enables other NAS devices containing sensitive information that may be vulnerable in an attack to remain offline and away from the internet to retrieve internet data with HTTPS security from the reverse proxy. Note: Reverse proxy is currently not supported for apps requiring separate logins.
Improve App Connection Security Apps that don't use HTTPS can use a reverse proxy server to enable HTTP Secure connections. Some Portainer implementations do not use HTTPS. A reverse proxy connection can direct a local Portainer HTTP connection to the reverse proxy server and retrieve data from the proxy server through a secure tunnel, increasing security. Note: Some apps already use a reverse proxy server for connection security. Please refer to the relevant documentation for each app.
Web Server Web servers are used to host a website. Web Center creates a shared folder named Web that serves as the root directory for the web server and does not interfere with other data stored on the NAS. Various web server software packages can be installed like Apache, Nginx and PHP and is easily customizable. Enable personal website: After enabling this, each NAS user can have their own dedicated personal website.
Enable PHP cache: Enabling PHP cache could enhance the PHP performance. However, it may not take effect under some circumstances. Virtual Host You can use this feature to simultaneously host several websites on your NAS.
Implementation Displays web server versions and status as well as update notifications. Updates are also found at App Central. Storage Manager Overview Here you can see the storage status. Note: This function may differ depending on the NAS model in use.
Volume Storage space on your NAS consists of logical volumes which are made up of a single disk or multiple disks combined together. Here you can set up new storage space for your NAS and, according to your data protection needs, select the most suitable RAID level. In order to maintain data integrity, you may only use internal disks when creating storage space for your NAS. ADM does not support the use of external disks for storage space.
Advanced Setup: Based on the current number of disks, you can manually select a RAID level or set up a spare disk. Reminder: In order to optimize disk space utilization, it is recommended that you use disks of the same size when creating storage space. MyArchive： MyArchive is a function designed especially for data management and sharing, giving you added flexibility when using multiple hard disks for data backup or exchange.
Here you can define tags for MyArchive disks. This allows users to quickly determine the contents of MyArchive disks from within ADM File Explorer when multiple disks are mounted simultaneously. MyArchive Encryption: Here you can choose whether or not you want to encrypt this MyArchive and whether or not you want to auto-mount it at system startup. Should you choose to encrypt this MyArchive, after the system restarts, you will have to manually enter the password for the MyArchive in order to access it.
About RAID In order to provide optimal storage space utilization and data protection, ADM supports multiple RAID levels allowing you to select the appropriate level for your needs. The following volume types levels are all supported by ADM: Non-RAID Volume Types Single: Only uses a single disk in the creation of storage space. This configuration does not offer any type of data protection. JBOD: An acronym for “just a bunch of disks”, JBOD uses a combination of two or more disks to create storage space.
RAID 5: Combines three or more disks to create a storage space that is able to support one failed disk. Should one of your disks fail, your data will still be protected from loss. In the event of disk failure, simply replace the failed disk with a new one. The new disk will automatically be accommodated into the RAID 5 configuration. The advantage of using RAID 5 is that is that it provides data protection through data redundancy.
RAID Scrubbing: RAID Scrubbing detects the integrity and consistency of RAID 5 and RAID 6 drive data. Regular use of this feature can help you confirm the integrity of your data and fix inconsistencies. If a problem that cannot be repaired is found, your NAS will immediately warn you so that you can respond to unexpected issues early.If the system is shut down, RAID Scrubbing will be disabled.
Disk Doctor: Here you can check your disks for bad sectors or conduct S.M.A.R.T. tests. IronWolf Health Management: The Seagate IronWolf Health Management function can provide more detailed detection information for IronWolf series hard disks. Before the possibility of a hard disk error occurring, a notification or warning message will be issued. Reminder：You need to search and install IronWolf Health Management in App Central before enabling this feature.
If you are using a Seagate IronWolf or IronWolf Pro series hard disk with a capacity of over or equal to 4TB, you only need to navigate to [Storage Manager] → [Disk] → [Disk Doctor] and the [IronWolf Health Management] window will appear. You can use this function to schedule or immediately carry out a scan. After using IronWolf Health Management to scan your hard disks, the results will either be shown as “healthy” or a numerical output code.
Excessive vibration has been detected. Please ensure 105 Notification your ASUSTOR NAS is placed on a stable surface. If issue persists, please contact the ASUSTOR Support Team. Excessive host resets have been detected. Please ensure the hard drive is properly installed in the 106 Notification chassis or drive tray, and perform a power cycle. If issue persists, please contact the ASUSTOR Support Team.
iSCSI iSCSI is a type of network storage technology that offers high expandability and low implementation costs. Through existing network infrastructure and iSCSI you can use your NAS to expand existing storage space or have it act as a backup destination. iSCSI consists of two ends, a target and an initiator. The initiator is used to search for iSCSI hosts and to set up targets. IQN： IQN (iSCSI Qualified Name) is the unique name for each iSCSI target.

Folder－Acccess Rights: Here you can set access permissions for different folders for this user. About Local Users After initialization, the system will automatically create user accounts for “admin” and “guest”.
About Local Groups After initialization, the system will automatically create two user groups, “administrators” and “users”. “administrators” is the default administrator group. If a user is added to this group, they will possess a majority of the administrator access rights. The “admin” account belongs to the “administrators” group by default and cannot be removed from it.
ASUSTOR NAS can support more than 200,000 AD users and groups. When joining an AD domain for the first time, depending on the number of users and groups, it may take a while for all of them to become visible. See More: NAS 206 - Using NAS with Windows Active Directory AD/ LDAP Groups Here you can view all AD/LDAP user groups and manage their access rights to shared folders once your NAS has been successfully added to an AD/LDAP domain.
sharing files with the outside world. Consequently, correctly setting up their access rights is very important in the management of your data. (1) Shared Folders: Add: You can create a shared folder here and set the volume in which the folder is stored. Edit: Invisible in “Network” or “My Network Places”: This setting only applies if you are using Microsoft Windows. When you enable this setting, your NAS will cease to automatically appear in “Network” or in “My Network Places”.
Encrypt this shared folder: Here you can choose whether or not you want to encrypt your shared folder and whether or not you want to auto-mount it at system startup. Should you choose to encrypt your folder, after the system restarts, you will have to manually enter the password or import the encryption key for the folder in order to access it. Encrypted folders are normally used for the storage of critical or confidential data.
NFS Privileges: Here you can set NFS privileges for individual folders after first enabling NFS service. About Shared Folders [Public] After initialization, the system will automatically create a shared folder “public”. By default, all users can access the files in this folder. Additionally, the system will automatically create a personal folder for each user (using the user's account name) that by default, can only be accessed by the mentioned user.
The following shared folders do not support Windows ACL permissions: Home, User Homes, PhotoGallery, Web, Surveillance, MyArchive, Network Recycle Bin, virtual devices, external devices (USB hard drives, optical drives). After enabling Windows ACL you will be able to use ADM's File Explorer or Microsoft Windows Explorer to configure permissions. After disabling Windows ACL you will only be able to configure permissions from within ADM's File Explorer.
Additional information: ISO Mounting You no longer need to burn ISO files onto CDs in order to read them. Now you can select ISO files from your NAS and directly mount them to shared folders (“read only” access rights). You can then use your computer to access and read them. Later, when you are finished with the files, simply unmounts them. (3) CIFS Folder: Here, you can mount remote folders as shared CIFS folders and configure their usage permissions according to users or user groups.
This setting only applies if you are using Microsoft Windows. When you enable this setting, your NAS will cease to automatically appear in “Network” or in “My Network Places”. Please note that enabling this setting will not affect the connection to your NAS in any way. App Privileges Here you can configure the users’ or user groups’ access rights to apps.
X: User access rights for shared folders Y: Group access rights for shared folders Priority of access rights: Deny Access > Read & Write > Read Only > No Settings Backup & Restore Remote Sync Remote Sync (Rsync) can allow your NAS to be used as a backup destination or backup source. When using your NAS as a backup source, you can choose to back up the data from your NAS onto another remote ASUSTOR NAS or Rsync compatible server.
After enabling this feature, successive backup jobs (after your first backup job) will only copy the data that has changed since your last backup job (block level). For example, if you have made some small changes to a 10 MB file, incremental backup will only copy the portions that you have made changes to. This can significantly reduce bandwidth usage. Compress data during the transfer: During backup you can compress the data that is being transferred thereby lowering bandwidth usage.
can back up the data from another remote ASUSTOR NAS or FTP server onto your NAS. During the setting process, according to your personal needs, you may need to set the following options: Mission Mode: Sometimes backup jobs may be stopped because of various connection problems with a busy server on the other end. ASUSTOR's Mission Mode option allows you to configure the number of connection attempts and time interval for connection attempts, ensuring for the successful completion of your backup job.
Use 1 on 1 folder synchronization: If you decide to use 1 on 1 folder synchronization, all the data in the designated destination folder will be synchronized with the data in your source folder (you may only select one folder). The contents of both folders will be exactly the same. If you decide not to use this feature, all your chosen source folders (you may select multiple folders) will be copied one by one to the destination folder.
During the setting process, according to your personal needs, you may need to set the following options: Mission Mode: Sometimes backup jobs may be stopped because of various connection problems with a busy server on the other end. ASUSTOR's Mission Mode option for external backup allows you to configure the time interval for connection attempts, ensuring for the successful completion of your backup job. This also gives IT administrators a significant amount of flexibility when configuring backup jobs.
One Touch Backup allows you to preset the function of the USB backup button found on the front of your NAS. Here you can designate your preferred backup direction and directory. After setting up One Touch Backup and plugging in an external USB drive to your NAS, you will only have to push the USB backup button to execute your backup job. Once the USB backup button is held down for 1.5 seconds, One Touch Backup will be triggered.
System Settings Here you can export or restore system settings in .bak format (file extension). This feature also supports scheduled backup, which means that you can create scheduled backup jobs and then export the settings to a specified location on your NAS. See More: FAQ: Which system settings can be backed up on a NAS? App Central You can use App Central to download apps that are suitable for use with your NAS.
