1. Synology Dsm Versions

You may be able to side-load an update, but you’ll need to visit the creators website for information. • • The DSM 6 Upgrade was done after DSM 5 and all installed packages were updated to their latest versions. I always recommend verifying that the latest versions of all packages are installed before updating DSM, even though you’ll (most likely) need to update them again after upgrading the DSM 6. If you’re using any of the packages listed below you’ll need to do your research before upgrading, or wait and see if updates appear in Package Manager. Asterisk The DSM 6 release notes say this is no longer supported by the open source team, so Synology is not supporting it in DSM 6.

Add-on Packages. There are many add-on packages available to expand the value and functionality of your Synology NAS. You will be able to download and install the packages designed specifically for your unique needs, whether it's sharing files on the cloud, sharing photos on an online album, setting up a VPN environment or even an antivirus to. Anyone using Synology for a phone system? Not just Asterisk 'available' on Synology. I am a VOIP guy now after 15 years of installing old school Telecom PBX.

Synology is nice but this isn't a good use for it, in my opinion. Do you not have a server to put a PBX on? What is driving you to want to consider this route?

But this might just be the avenue to try next. I have an extra Synology from a closed down office I can play with. I have found that Yealink phones work best with the Shoretel. If any one is interested I did a phone test with several SIP phones and Yealink won out. I wish I seen this forum a long time ago, I am a VOIP guy now after 15 years of installing old school Telecom PBX technology I now support VOIP 100%.

I'd be curious to see if you found something cost effective to replace ShoreTel. I've worked on dozens of ShoreTel systems and have been surprised at how resilient it is. With some exception where the handsets or the voice switch are dropped from support, the system can be upgraded forever. Usually the only thing you need to do is update your server every 5 or 6 years and pay for support to be on the latest version. I'm not paid by ShoreTel, so I don't want to sound like too much of a fanboy.

Synology Dsm Versions

More than anything that sounds like something Synology added as a pure marketing tactic to get people to use their device as an all-in-one solution. Scott Alan Miller wrote: It's an interesting idea but I'd not do that unless you are just doing that for home. You want a fully supported PBX platform for business use, not just Asterisk 'available' on Synology. Synology, to the best of my knowledge, does not provide any support for Asterisk on there so any Asterisk or Synology update might cause problems and patches and updates might not be forthcoming. Beyond that, PBXs are typically high priority and not appropriate for an SMB class NAS device. Synology is nice but this isn't a good use for it, in my opinion.

The Synology DiskStation comes with a pretty darn complete collection of services & software that you can access & use through the DSM, the DiskStation Manager GUI. As I’ve been mentioning, though, you can also SSH into the DiskStation CLI (Command Line Interface) & run commands there. The DiskStation comes with a large assortment of commands already present, but you can install others as well, which is what I’ll focus on here. You could download source code & compile it, of course, but I’m not going to cover that here (maybe in a later post).

For example, my DS212+ would not run it after the DSM 6 upgrade and no update was available. The package is available under DSM 6 on other hardware, such as the DS1815+. Elephant Drive This did not run after the DSM 6 upgrade and no update is available in the DSM 6 Package Manager. Plex Media Server This did not run after the DSM 6 upgrade and no update is available in the DSM 6 Package Manager. The Plex website does have newer versions for Synology that include support for the DSM 6 beta, so I would expect a version to show up in Package Manager in the near future. Synform Cloud Backup This did not run after the DSM 6 upgrade and no update is available in the DSM 6 Package Manager. The Synology forums included some threads complaining about the DSM 5 version of this package, so it may be awhile before it shows up.

It has nearly all the packages available in Package Manager installed, the only exceptions being ones that conflict with an already installed package. For example, OpenERP 6 and OpenERP 7 can’t both be installed so I installed OpenERP 7. It was time to upgrade this NAS to DSM 6.

Hello everybody, I have a DS508 (comparable with the 509+). It’s a diskstaion, others like to call it NAS-server, from A great product but I found out that you can do alot more with it. So I’ve installed asterisk by installing nslu2-optware and used ipkg to install it. (More info: ) (More info: ) Everything working fine, I have installed the extra sound package, and the diskstation itselve already has php, mysql, etc installed.

The easiest way is looking it up in on the Synology Wiki page (). In case of my DS212+ it’s a. Now you know what CPU your Synology NAS has you can find the appropriate bootstrap.

In my case, the Marvell Kirkwood mv6281 wants this one:. Log in to the DiskStation as root. Cd to the temp directory on volume1: > cd /volume1/@tmp Use wget to download the bootstrap: > wget Make the downloaded bootstrap executable: > chmod 755 syno-mvkw-bootstrap_1.2-7_arm.xsh Run the bootstrap: >./syno-mvkw-bootstrap_1.2-7_arm.xsh Delete the bootstrap, as it’s no longer needed: > rm syno-mvkw-bootstrap_1.2-7_arm.xsh Reboot the DiskStation using the GUI or the CLI. With the GUI, click on the Main Menu (Synology’s term, not mine) & choose Restart.

Anna calvi album. By using your own PBX on your own hardware you can control what updates are installed to the root OS and not be worried that all of a sudden a Synology update may bomb your Asterisk server. Then what do you do? What what if a firmware rollback makes Asterisk work but bombs your file shares? By keeping the two separate, you do better in terms of DR and overall control.

The OS on the diskstation is busybox. Now I’m wondering, has anybody ever tried to install freePBX on a synology disk station or on a busybox installation?

I've thought that small offices might be just as well suited by a freepbx type of system as well. Steve-DC wrote: @Nate What was the result of your PBX research?

Installing 3rd party software on your Synology DiskStation DS411j Jan 9, 2012 • Note: I recently purchased a & I’m putting up posts about things I figure out. This is part of that series.

All IPKG packages installed from community are stored in optware, instead of common synology file structure. To copy configuration files back to asterisk, you will be required to have root access. For every step of this quick guide you will find some help on google.

If anyone has any step by step guides that'd be awesome. I had it accepting calls today (no extensions) so just got the 'Congratulations, you've successfully setup.'

I have no time now to post step by step guid right now, I made it as try and error, but finally it does not took me even two hours to make asterisk working again. Backup asterisk configuration files (for me at least sip.conf, extensions.conf and user.conf). Go to package manager - settings - package sources. Add new source '. This is a community package server.

That should find it. • vi comes on the Synology DiskStation by default (it comes on every UNIX by default!), but I vastly prefer vim, as do all right-thinking people everywhere. • Just typing vim works, as /opt/bin is in your path. You can see yours easily; type this.

WonderBox I had to uninstall this package in order to run the DSM 6 upgrade. It wouldn’t shut down and the upgrade wouldn’t proceed with it running. The package is not available in the DSM 6 Package Manager. BitTorrent Sync This wouldn’t run after the upgrade. No update is available in Package Manager. Synology CMS (Control Management System) This is not supported on all Synology Hardware. Hardware that installed it in DSM 5 may not support it in DSM 6.

Please share with us your comments, tips, experience. Asterisk GUI (management webpage) is working as well.

I found a way arround. The package is not supported by Synology, there is no way how to install using Package Manager. However it is available as Linux ipkg package. There is not default installer for ipkg in Synology, but it does exists as a community package.

It will not run after the upgrade. WonderBox I had to uninstall this package in order to run the DSM 6 upgrade. It wouldn’t shut down and the upgrade wouldn’t proceed with it running.

It's an interesting idea but I'd not do that unless you are just doing that for home. You want a fully supported PBX platform for business use, not just Asterisk 'available' on Synology.

Fortunately, you can find, install, & manage a very large collection of pre-compiled software packages for your Synology DiskStation using a very cool command line tool called. If you’re familiar with on Debian, you’ll find ipkg to be instantly understandable. For those of you not in the know, ipkg is a package manager: it’s software that connects to a repository, a large collection of software packages, & then makes it easy for you to download, install, update, & remote packages on your Linux box. So let’s install ipkg so we can then install other software on the Synology DiskStation! Now find out which ipkg bootstrap you should get at this page, located on the Synology wiki:.

For somebody it could be better, more clear solution. Ericlmccormick wrote:Even when I am sitting in /volume1/@optware/sbin and I see asterisk there, when I just type in asterisk, I get the message '-sh: asterisk: command not found' I suppose you are using WinSCP or Putty. Do not know how the paths are set, if this is on purpose or it is some mass after the previous install, but I can control Asterisk with command in directory '/opt/sbin/' instead of '/volume1/@optware/sbin'. Both exists, just one works. I tested, it controls the installation in the optware directory correctly.

These are the packages that did not survive the upgrade. Just about every package needs an update after the DiskStation Manager 6 upgrade so allow plenty of time to get things running. A few do update as part of the upgrade but most will need your attention after the upgrade. The ground rules: • • Only packages available through the DSM package manager are considered. • • If the package is not upgradeable (or fixable) through Package Manager then it is incompatible from my point of view. You may be able to side-load an update, but you’ll need to visit the creators website for information.

For Shoretel and others like then I think it is so funny that people keep falling for someone relabeling asterisk and charging for it LOL! I can support hundreds of extensions on asterisk the only thing you need to do correctly is a real Firewall, QOS is a must, VLANs are a must, a real router, a real switch, a real server (to many people cheap out by no buying Cisco router and switches) Rules- QOS and VLAN! RULES- Buy real equipment! Not off the shelf Rules- Please do not use default passwords Rules- VOIP/SIP will be hacked its a fact so be ready for it. Hi, I'm trying to setup a cheap VoIP system for my wifes new business, currently she needs just a single endpoint, but will need two by years end. We have a synology box at the house (where she works from) so want to use that, so thought about the Asterisk bundle.

You just need to enable/configure in management.conf and http.conf Here you will find how to do that: No other setup options/lines are necessary for basic functionality, but maybe you want to setup more. I forgot to mention that I tested all of this on DS215j Easy Bootstrap Installer might not be functional for all devices (depends on the CPU), but what I found, it should show you, if your device is supported or not. There are also other ways how to install ipk packages and bootstrap, directly with Linux commands.

Message but 2 hrs later all I'm getting is failed calls when I call in:( So any and all help would be awesome thank you. I'm not an IT guy by any stretch, but I have been messing with stuff for years, so do have a basic understanding.

If the link is ever broken, head over to the & search for “install ipkg”.
