Using the Control Center Software you can set
the very basic parameters like reset, shutdown, sleep or connecting via FTP for the AS7004T unit to make sure that you'll
definitely find the device in your home or small business network. Once this has
been done you can go to the web administration panel to do the detailled
configuration.
Webinterface
The web interface looks very modern and sleek and it's very easy to use. You can find your way around intuitively and there is always well structured overview regarding allt he features offered with the
AS7004T. The web interface works like a breeze in all tested browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer). The system features an extensive user administration. Various protocols for storage and networking can be easily activated by the click of a button, including iSCSI, which - as an example - could be an important factor in small and medium-sized businesses.
Since the AS7004T comes with numerous settings, there's a search engine, which works perfectly and quickly leads to the desired configuration tab or app.
Overall the AS7004T leaves a solid impression and everything works as advertised.
We very much liked Asustor's App concept. By the click of a button you can
install apps or services. It doesn't matter if you're looking for CMS,
a Wiki, a Download Center, ... There is an impressive amount of App's to
choose from and the one's we've tested, worked perfectly fine. The same goes for the the one click backup and restore option. Apart from that there are features like an activity monitor which provides insight on usage of the device. Once again we
were surprise how easy it was to work with this product.
