WEBVTT 00:00:00.719 --> 00:00:07.680 this episode of lonus detectives is going to be about the special ASUS 00:00:04.359 --> 00:00:09.679 features ASUS special features rather on 00:00:07.680 --> 00:00:14.440 the TS mini Windows Home Server so why don't we start with aswm so assus system 00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:17.880 web-based management software so cleverly named so it's an interface that 00:00:16.359 --> 00:00:21.400 allows you to conveniently manage your home server status via Windows Home 00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:25.920 Server console so let's go into that over here aswm so this is just a Windows 00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:34.120 Home Server plugin there are actually tons available on www.we got ser .co.uk 00:00:31.520 --> 00:00:38.200 but these are some custom ones that ASUS has included with their ts mini so the 00:00:36.800 --> 00:00:42.800 first one here is you can monitor your system fans there are two fans in the TS 00:00:40.160 --> 00:00:48.039 mini they are both working excellent you can monitor your motherboard 00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:50.680 temperatures you can monitor your 00:00:48.039 --> 00:00:54.239 cat go away cat all right you can monitor your CPU temperature right now 00:00:52.120 --> 00:00:59.320 it's running at 50° which is perfectly safe you can monitor your discs as well 00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:04.879 as your drives I'm not sure what the difference between discs and drives is 00:01:02.519 --> 00:01:08.560 maybe we'll find out they look the same you can monitor your network connection 00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:12.200 so here it is showing me how much of my network is being used right now actually 00:01:10.439 --> 00:01:18.280 here's something we could do why don't we uh just go like this shared folders 00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:24.320 and let's see what happens if I actually copy a folder into videos for example 00:01:21.759 --> 00:01:29.360 Network utilization should go up and it looks like it doesn't refresh 00:01:27.479 --> 00:01:34.520 all that often that's okay memory utilization this has 1 gig of 00:01:32.399 --> 00:01:38.799 memory so it shows me how much of that is being used how much page file is used 00:01:36.520 --> 00:01:38.799 and 00:01:40.200 --> 00:01:46.479 CPU overall CPU utilization and breaks 00:01:43.799 --> 00:01:50.320 it down by core it is a dual core atom so inventory there's a lot more stuff 00:01:48.399 --> 00:01:54.479 here that I can also go into if I feel like it and 00:01:51.759 --> 00:01:58.920 configuration oh event configuration H vent configuration let's 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:03.799 have a look o even BIOS flashes in here there's all kinds of good stuff 00:02:00.600 --> 00:02:06.000 here so you can have it notify you in 00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:11.000 the event oh okay so you can set it so things like motherboard fans uh when it 00:02:08.440 --> 00:02:16.560 goes below a certain level that's an event I believe so let me see yep so 00:02:14.560 --> 00:02:24.040 here's the the the low monitor here's high low so critical thresholds are 00:02:20.720 --> 00:02:26.239 600 okay cool and so yeah you can set it 00:02:24.040 --> 00:02:31.840 so it'll send you an email or it'll send you um what else can it send you 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:40.920 neat well looks like a pretty neat piece of software let's move on to the next 00:02:38.040 --> 00:02:44.640 one assus web storage so assus web storage allows you to enjoy one year 00:02:42.720 --> 00:02:47.640 free online space and back up your files to your home server with an internet 00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:53.080 connection you can access and share any files whenever you want and wherever you 00:02:50.319 --> 00:02:56.840 are okay well Windows Home Server allows you to do a whole lot of web storage on 00:02:54.840 --> 00:02:59.560 your own but I'm sure that there is a value to this I'm not going to bother 00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:05.200 setting it up for now but that is one of the features that Aus does include this 00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:08.120 one I saved the best for 00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:13.239 last this one has all kinds of cool stuff in here so my my personal favorite 00:03:10.280 --> 00:03:17.720 one is the backup tab so this allows you to take your external storage Source in 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:22.480 this case it's my USB flash drive you can select any folders that you want you 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:25.760 select a home server destination folder and then you click backup boom so you 00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:29.920 throw that in one of your duplicated folders so you have a quick easy way to 00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:34.319 plug something into your home server back it up and have it duplicated you 00:03:31.680 --> 00:03:39.519 don't worry about it anymore very cool file manager okay this one I'm not quite 00:03:37.239 --> 00:03:43.040 as certain about so you can copy delete edit the files and folders between 00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:47.400 external storage devices in your Home Server so this would be a way to 00:03:44.400 --> 00:03:49.400 manually copy edit and delete um this 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:54.079 one has a little bit less usefulness to me because you do always have the option 00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:59.360 of using remote desktop connection to access your Home Server um if you don't 00:03:56.840 --> 00:04:02.280 know how to do that it's quite simple you just just go to remote desktop 00:04:00.799 --> 00:04:07.159 connection type in the name of your home server and then you can actually do 00:04:04.439 --> 00:04:11.360 stuff like this on your own from there so you're not technically supposed to 00:04:08.920 --> 00:04:14.280 use remote desktop connection uh to access the Home Server they don't 00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:19.479 recommend it a big warning is going to come up and tell me not to do it but you 00:04:17.320 --> 00:04:24.080 can always just go into share folders on Home Server go into my computer I mean 00:04:21.040 --> 00:04:27.000 it's just a computer right so uh from 00:04:24.080 --> 00:04:31.720 there I can access my uh my flash drive so this one is not uh not a huge one but 00:04:29.400 --> 00:04:37.000 syn synchronization is great too because synchronization allows you to just same 00:04:34.880 --> 00:04:41.600 thing you automatically synchronize except this one instead of backing up 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:45.800 only from the external device into the Home Server is actually able to go 00:04:43.840 --> 00:04:49.720 either way so for let's say a document you've been working on at home and at 00:04:47.560 --> 00:04:54.639 work if you're storing one copy on your USB drive and one copy on your home 00:04:51.919 --> 00:04:58.759 server at home you can set it so that it will just synchronize and it'll update 00:04:57.080 --> 00:05:01.880 to the latest version of the file so that's a very cool feature as well so 00:05:00.160 --> 00:05:05.560 ASUS has included a pretty neat little software suite in addition to all the 00:05:04.039 --> 00:05:12.120 stuff that's already included with Windows Home Server and thank you for 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:17.360 checking out my episode on the exclusive 00:05:12.120 --> 00:05:17.360 ASUS software with the TS Mini
