Core Features

Night mode scheduling: With night mode scheduling, users no longer have to log in to the ADM interface to turn on or turn off night mode. They need only scheduling configurations, before being able to enjoy the comfort and convenience of night mode at a regularly scheduled time.
HDD hibernation indicators: The added HDD hibernation indicators will allow users to look at the HDD LED indicators to see if their HDDs are in hibernation.
More UPS functionality: When the UPS detects a power outage the NAS can either go into shut down or safe mode in order to protect the system. Under safe mode, the system will stop all services in accordance with normal procedures and unmount all storage volumes in order to prevent data loss and damage. This function is available for use with AS-6/7 series devices.
Multilingual usernames: Usernames support multibyte character sets such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Cyrillic.

New Apps from App Central

MiniDLNA: A nimble multimedia server App that supports protocols such as DLNA and UPnP-AV. As long as users’ UPnP client (Sony BRAVIA TV, PlayStation 3, etc.) supports multimedia formats such as video, audio and images, they will be able to play them without any transcoding from the NAS. It is compatible with a wide range of file types and features very low CPU usage. Small in size and easy to install, it features functionality including complete pause, stop, play, rewind, fast-forward functions and support for .srt, .smi subtitle files.
Photo Gallery: It is a web photo album developed by the company with features such as integrated social media sharing, customizable album covers, photo descriptions, viewable EXIF information, photo rotation and slideshow playback. Tags for both albums and photos gives you flexibility for sorting and managing photos while layered permissions allow you to open up albums to friend and family for collaborative management.
Google Drive: It supports the Google Drive cloud storage service allowing you to integrate the data on your NAS with Google Drive.

New Chrome/FireFox Add-on

Download Helper: Download Helper is an add-on for Google Chrome and FireFox that integrates the Download Center and Takeasy apps, allowing users to instruct the NAS to download files and streaming videos while they are browsing the web. Download helper features a simplified download task monitor that also allows for the management of basic download tasks.
