Download Firmware Synology Disk Station Manager 4.0 build 2219

Synology has released an update to version 4.0 of Disk Station Manager. Synology DSM is the management software that runs on several of the company’s NAS products. The Disk, Cube and Rack Stations offer more than just extra storage space. For example, backups of all clients on the network can be made and files can be downloaded via http, ftp, bittorrent, usenet and emule, so that, for example, energy-hungry PCs can switch off at night, while the download just comes in. Furthermore, audio and video files can be streamed over the network via the built-in iTunes server, a dynamic website can be hosted using PHP and MySQL and it can act as a print server.

Version 4.0 can only be installed on the NAS models ending in 08- or later. New features include Cloud Station, which makes it possible to synchronize files across different computers. There is also an antivirus program and Surveillance Station, Photo Station and Download Station have been improved. There is also something to report on the mobile level, because there will be support for the Android Tablet and Kindle Fire, and that for the iPhone/iPad will have more options. In build 2219 most applications have been updated, a Samba security issue has been fixed and some bug fixes have been made.

Changes in Synology DSM 4.0 build 2219:

• Updated Photo Station, Audio Station, Surveillance Station, Media Server, iTunes Server and Download Station packages to the latest version if they were installed. Please refer to these packages’ release notes for details.
• Enhanced Samba protocol security by preventing remote code execution as the “root” user (CVE-2012-1182).
• Added a notification event when the DiskStation enters safe mode due to UPS low battery.
• Enhanced USB Copy to function properly with an attached iPhone.
• Fixed an issue where your DiskStation might not enter hibernation while DDNS service is enabled and PPPoE connection is established.
• Enhanced the overall stability of AFP file protocol.
