QSM 3.1 PART 1

Just like QNAP, ASUSTOR and Synology QSAN also has their very own web GUI (QSAN Storage Management) and before you can use it you will need to finalize the setup procedure as seen above.

You can access a rather basic system monitor from the top right corner while the system basic commands can be accessed from the top left corner.

Just like with every other NAS in the market control panel is the cornerstone of the QSM.

From within the system tab you can change the password, adjust the time/date, enable auto logout (after X minutes) and login lock (single login), select the communications protocol, enable link aggregation, create static routes, use ping and trace route, adjust access control and firewall, use an SSL certificate, enable SED authentication (requires compatible drive), enable the DDNS and UPNP services, configure notifications, adjust the power settings (like auto shutdown, hibernation and WOL), access the status of the UPS (if you have one attached to the XN5008T), check available logs, perform firmware updates and system recovery and finally you can import/export all of your NAS settings.

As expected everything related to drives including volumes (remote volumes as well), drive information, storage pools and SSD caching is placed under the Storage tab (we've included a picture of the SSD caching page after we concluded all our 10GbE tests).
