ADM 2.4 has been officially released for all ASUSTOR NAS models and is available online for all users. ASUSTOR recommends that users upgrade to this latest firmware version in order to enjoy a variety of new functionality and enhanced performance.
What's New in ADM 2.4?
 |
Optimized SSD performance |
 |
ADM 2.4.0 supports the SSD Trim command, allowing the SSDs installed on the NAS to maintain stable read/write performance while simultaneously controlling the frequency of overwriting to specific blocks, extending the life of SSDs.
|
 |
Enhanced convenience for network management with SNMP |
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) provides a set of standards that allows managers on a single network management system (NMS) to collect information from all network equipment for convenient monitoring and maintenance. ADM 2.4.0 supports SNMP v1, v2c, v3 and also provides a trap setting that can actively notify the NMS of significant events. |

 |
Added flexibility for remote access management |
ADM 2.4.0 further enhances the widely acclaimed Network Defender function. In addition to the existing automatic black list function, a trusted list is now provided. The trusted list can prevent trusted IP addresses from being automatically blocked in the event of too many inadvertent login failures. Furthermore, when manually defining the black and white lists, users can now specify the IP country of origin or area via the Geo IP expansion module in addition to specifying the IP address or segment, providing added flexibility. |

 |
Improved shared folder encryption mechanism |
 |
ADM 2.4.0 introduces a new encryption mechanism, effectively increasing data encryption speeds, and properly releasing storage space previously occupied by already deleted files. With regards to encrypted folders that were created using the previous encryption method, a conversion function is provided on the settings page for easy converting without any complicated steps.
Note: If you wish to downgrade the firmware to 2.3.1 or an older version, please first decrypt the shared folders that were encrypted using the new ASUSTOR encryption mechanism. |

Play videos with ADM File Explorer |
You can now intuitively use the preview function to play videos when browsing through multimedia files with ADM File Explorer. Is this convenient, or what?
Note: The preview function must be used in conjunction with VLC media player. VLC media player is compatible with Windows OS and Mac OS X prior to 10.6. |
