How to physically locate ASUSTOR NAS?

Post by Willboy »

I have multiple NAS devices, some of them co-located. When I was using NetGear ReadyNAS, I was able to ask a specific NAS to flask its LEDs, so I could get the right one. I can't find anything equivalent with Asustor. Am I missing something?

Hi,

Use Asustor Control Center, select NAS (in the list), in top menu : action / find me
... enter valid admin user and password ...
The NAS generate a repetitive sound up you cancel the find me.

Many thanks! Do you know if it's possible to do this from the NAS web control panel? I tend not to use Control Center as it takes a while for the devices to appear as ready.

Hi,

No idea, ask support ... I don't identify speaker / buzzer or led control (with documentation even --help)

You can use the AiMaster Moible App:

Or via the SSH:

Code: Select all

sudo buzzctrl -poweron
Or create yourself a very simple CGI version, e.g. install apache and php, enable them in the Web Center, then create this file /share/Web/buzzctrl.php. Change the $PASS to your admin password (for sudo, there's no NOPASSWD sudoers by default) and $COUNT how many times to beep in a 1 sec interval:
