Congratulations on your purchase of Synology NAS. Synology NAS is a multi-functional Network-Attached Storage server, serving as a file-sharing center within your Intranet. Moreover, it is specially designed for a variety of purposes, allowing you to perform the following tasks with the web-based Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM):
Store and Share Files over the Internet Windows users, Mac users, and Linux users can easily share files within the Intranet or through the Internet. Unicode language support makes sharing files in different languages from Synology NAS simple.
Manage Files with Web-Based File Station One of Synology DiskStation Managers applications, File Station, can make it possible for users to manage their files on Synology NAS easily through a web interface. You can also access the files stored on Synology NAS with a mobile device.
Transfer Files via FTP Synology NAS provides FTP service with bandwidth restriction and anonymous login. To transfer data safely, FTP over SSL/TLS and uninvited IP auto-block are also available.
Sync Files with Cloud Station Cloud Station is a file sharing service that allows your Synology NAS to become a file sync center to sync files between multiple client computers. With the Cloud Station application installed on your computers, you can simply drop your office file to a folder on your office computer, and then open the same file automatically synced to your laptop.
Share Storage Capacity as iSCSI LUNs You can designate portion of your Synology NAS volume space to be an iSCSI LUN, which will allow the iSCSI initiator to access the space like a local disk.
Back Up Files on Computer and Server Synology NAS provides various backup solutions to back up computer data to Synology NAS, back up Synology NAS data or iSCSI LUN to an external hard drive, another Synology NAS, an rsync-compatible server, Amazon S3 server, HiDrive backup server, etc.
Enjoy Entertainment Content on the Server Download Station allows you to download files from the Internet through BT, FTP, HTTP, eMule and NZB to Synology NAS. The Media Server and iTunes support allows computers or DMA devices within LAN to playback multimedia files on Synology NAS 1
With the USBCopy or SDCopy function, you can press the Copy button on your Synology NAS to instantly copy files from a camera or SD card to Synology NAS.

HTTP Service Click the HTTP Service tab to change the port number for accessing DSM or configure HTTPS settings. When the HTTPS connection function is enabled, any connection to Synology NAS via the HTTPS protocol will be encrypted with the SSL/TLS encrypting mechanism.
More Information
About redirecting to HTTPS connection: When the option Automatically redirect HTTP connections to HTTPS is checked, you will be redirected to port 5001 while trying to access the web DSM through port 5000.
Ports used for HTTPS connection: DSM: The port number is 5001, so you can access the DSM through the secure channel:
https://Synology_Server_IP:5001/ Web Station: The port number is 443, so you can access Web Station through the secure channel:
https://Synology_Server_IP:443/ or https://Synology_Server_Name:443/
Security Click the Security tab to modify the security settings for each DSM login session. The following options are available here:
Logout timer: An automatic logout occurs if you are inactive for the time period you specified in the logout timer.
Enhance browser compatibility by skipping IP checking: If you access Synology NAS through a HTTP proxy and encounter random logouts, you can skip IP checking. However, skipping IP checking will lower the security level.
Improve protection against scripting attacks: This option enhances the systems protection against cross- site scripting attacks.
Do not allow DSM to be embedded with iFrame: You can restrict other websites from embedding DSM into other web pages with iFrame, thus preventing certain types of attacks from malicious websites.
Router Port Click the Router Port tab to configure router port settings. To open files on the Synology NAS with Internet services (such as Google Docs or Pixlr Editor), please enter the hostname or public static IP address of the Synology NAS, as well as the public port number. These settings only need to be modified if different port numbers were specified for the router port (assigned on your router) and the local port (assigned on your Synology NAS) during setup.
Certificate A certificate can be used for SSL secured services of the Synology NAS, such as web, mail, or FTP. Having a certificate allows users to validate the identity of a server and the administrator before sending any confidential information. Click the Certificate tab to manage and view the status of Synology NAS certificates, allowing you to create, import/export, or renew certificates. The certificate setup wizard helps create self-signed certificates or download certificate signing requests (CSR) for registration with certificate authorities (CA).
For more information regarding managing certificates, please see DSM Help.
