2.1.11. Ease of Access
Here you can configure all the necessary settings for remote access.
 Cloud Connect: Here you can obtain a Cloud ID for your NAS. By entering the Cloud
ID into ASUSTOR client applications, you can access your NAS without having to
enter the host/IP information.
 EZ-Router: Here you can set up your network router automatically for direct NAS
access from any device with Internet access.
Reminder: Your router must support UPnP/NAT-PMP. Please note that not
all routers support automatic configuration. Please see the hardware
compatibility list found on the ASUSTOR website for more information.
 DDNS: Here you can create or configure your DDNS account. DDNS allows you to
use a persistent host name (i.e., nas.asustor.com) to connect to your NAS. You
won’t have to worry about remembering your NAS’s IP address. This feature is often
used in dynamic IP environments.
2.1.12. Factory Default
Here you can restore the system back to its factory default settings. After this, the system
will return to its pre-initialized state. For security reasons, you will be asked to enter the
administrator password before performing this operation. You can then initialize the
system again through Control Center or by logging into ADM.
Warning: After the system is restored to its factory default settings, all previous
settings and files will be permanently deleted. You will not be able to recover
these settings and files. Please ensure that you have backed up the data on your
NAS before you begin this operation.
2.1.13. Registration
Here you can sign up for a personal account (ASUSTOR ID) and register your product.
Once the product has been registered, your ASUSTOR ID will be automatically enabled.
Reminder: A valid ASUSTOR ID is required for downloading any apps from the
App Central or applying Cloud ID service.
