Synology NAS beginners guide | part 16 | Audio Station

• Log into your NAS using your Administrators credentials. 
• We now need to install Audio Station.
• From the desktop of the DSM select Package Centre.
• Using the Search bar of Package Center locate and install Audio Station.
• Now close Package Centre and open Control Panel.

• Locate and select Login Portal from the side bar of the Control Panel of Disk Station Manager.
• Select Applications and highlight Audio Station from the list of applications being displayed.
• Click on Edit.
• Next in the Alias field, enter a word you can use to access Audio Station. For example you might use the word audio or music.
• In Customised Port (HTTP) type 8800.
• In Customised Port (HTTPS) type 8801.

Note: Ports 8800 and 8801 are the default ports that Synology suggest that you use with Audio Station. If another service on your network is using these ports, or you want to change a port number for security reasons. You should make your changes here. 

• Choose Save.

You will now be able to access Audio Station from within a web browser or the DS Audio app. As our NAS is currently not accessible from the internet. We are only able to connect to Audio Station from within our home network. This is done by opening a web browser and entering one of the following into the address bar:

//the-ip-address-of-your-NAS/audio

//the-ip-address-of-your-NAS:8800

Note: At the moment you will not be able to access Audio Station using port 8801 as your NAS has not been configured with an SSL certificate. So we will be looking at assign a Synology NAS with an SSL certificate in a future video.

• From the sidebar of Control Panel select Application Privileges.
• Under Packages highlight Audio Station and choose Edit.
• You will now need to assign access privileges to the Audio Station.

Note: As we want all our users to have access to Audio Station, we assigned permissions from within the User group. However you can also assign access rights using a different group or on a user by user basis.
