software with the TS Mini","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0}],"full_text":"this episode of lonus detectives is going to be about the special ASUS features ASUS special features rather on the TS mini Windows Home Server so why don't we start with aswm so assus system web-based management software so cleverly named so it's an interface that allows you to conveniently manage your home server status via Windows Home Server console so let's go into that over here aswm so this is just a Windows Home Server plugin there are actually tons available on www.we got ser .co.uk but these are some custom ones that ASUS has included with their ts mini so the first one here is you can monitor your system fans there are two fans in the TS mini they are both working excellent you can monitor your motherboard temperatures you can monitor your cat go away cat all right you can monitor your CPU temperature right now it's running at 50° which is perfectly safe you can monitor your discs as well as your drives I'm not sure what the difference between discs and drives is maybe we'll find out they look the same you can monitor your network connection so here it is showing me how much of my network

configuration H vent configuration let's have a look o even BIOS flashes in here there's all kinds of good stuff here so you can have it notify you in the event oh okay so you can set it so things like motherboard fans uh when it goes below a certain level that's an event I believe so let me see yep so here's the the the low monitor here's high low so critical thresholds are 600 okay cool and so yeah you can set it so it'll send you an email or it'll send you um what else can it send you neat well looks like a pretty neat piece of software let's move on to the next one assus web storage so assus web storage allows you to enjoy one year free online space and back up your files to your home server with an internet connection you can access and share any files whenever you want and wherever you are okay well Windows Home Server allows you to do a whole lot of web storage on your own but I'm sure that there is a value to this I'm not going to bother setting it up for now but that is one of the features that Aus does include this one I saved the best for last this one has all kinds of cool stuff in here so my my personal favorite one is the backup tab so this allows you to take your external storage Source in this case it's my USB flash drive you can select any folders that you want you select a home server destination folder and then you click backup boom so you throw that in one of your duplicated folders so you have a quick easy way to plug something into your home server back it up and have it duplicated you don't worry about it anymore very cool file manager okay this one I'm not quite as certain about so you can copy delete edit the files and folders between external storage devices in your Home Server so this would be a way to manually copy edit and delete um this one has a little bit less usefulness to me because you do always have the option of using remote desktop connection to access your Home Server um if you don't know how to do that it's quite simple you just just go to remote desktop connection type in the name of your home server and then you can actually do stuff like this on your own from there so you're not technically supposed to use remote desktop connection uh to access the Home Server they don't recommend it a big warning is going to come up and tell me not to do it but you can always just go into share folders on Home Server go into my computer I mean it's just a computer right so uh from there I can access my uh my flash drive so this one is not uh not a huge one but syn synchronization is great too because synchronization allows you to just same thing you automatically synchronize except this one instead of backing up only from the external device into the Home Server is actually able to go either way so for let's say a document you've been working on at home and at work if you're storing one copy on your USB drive and one copy on your home server at home you can set it so that it will just synchronize and it'll update to the latest version of the file so that's a very cool feature as well so ASUS has included a pretty neat little software suite in addition to all the stuff that's already included with Windows Home Server and thank you for checking out my episode on the exclusive ASUS software with the TS Mini"}
