We won't look at all of ADM's settings since we have already done so in our AS3102T review. We will only look at the most important ones, which are those you will have to deal with at least once.

General Settings

The General tab allows you to change default HTTP/HTTPS ports, set the language, and configure an automatic log-out timer. This tab also includes options to configure the login page's look.

Network Settings

Network settings are very important to NAS servers, and you will have to use these options often, which means you had better familiarize yourself with them. These settings allow you to set the server name, which will identify the NAS to the network, default gateway, and IP LAN port ID. The AS3202T only has one Gigabit Ethernet port, so there are no LAN-teaming options. These options also allow you to set the Wi-Fi dongle's properties if you have one attached to the NAS.

Hardware Settings

The Hardware tab is full of configurable options as it allows you to, for example, adjust the brightness of the NAS server's LED indicators. You can also enable or disable the buzzer for various events, disable the reset button on the back, set the disk-hibernation time, and enable or disable EuP Mode. Attention must be given to the fact that enabling EuP will disable Sleep Mode, Auto Power Resume, Wake-on-Lan, and Power Scheduling Services.

ADM Update

There is a Live Update feature, which you should enable if you want ADM to inform you of available updates.

Energy Saver

Many energy saving options can be found here. The Wake-On-Lan (WOL) feature can't be enabled if you have EuP enabled.

Ease of Access

This menu includes all options related to easily controlling the NAS remotely over the Web.

Factory Default

This option should be used carefully since it defaults the NAS, which will cause all stored data on its installed disks and your settings to be erased after system initialization.

Registration

You have to obtain an Asustor ID, which is free, in order to access some of the NAS server's advanced features, like Cloud Connect or its application download services.
