Communicate with Mobile Devices
Chapter 19:
As Internet access grows popular on mobile devices, Synology provides you with several creative alternatives to
communicate with your Synology DiskStation using iOS/Android, Windows Phone, or other mobile devices.

Manage DSM Settings with DSM mobile

DSM mobile allows DSM admin (or a user belonging to the administrators group) to manage DSM settings and
check DSM information with the web browser of an iOS (iPhone, iPad or iPod touch), Android device, or
Windows Phone.
To log in to DSM mobile:
1 Use the web browser of your iOS/Android device or Windows Phone to connect to
http://Synology_Server_IP:5000.
2 Enter your DSM user credentials and tap Login.
Note: For more information about DSM mobile, tap Help on the home page.

Use iOS, Android, and Windows Apps

The Synology mobile apps are now available on Apple's App Store, Android Market, and Windows Marketplace,
allowing you to communicate with Synology DiskStation wherever Wi-Fi access is available. You can manage
your DiskStation files, music, photo and video albums, even the surveillance videos, download files, and watch
videos on the go.
DS download
DS download allows you to access Download Station and download files directly with an iOS device. You can
create download tasks by adding a url, via a built-in mini browser of the application, or the integrated Safari
browser for user convenience. Managing basic settings such as transfer speed limits or activating the advanced
schedule is also possible.
DS video
DS video allows you to access Video Station and watch videos both at home and on the move with an iOS device.
You can browse and organize your collections of videos, record digital TV programs available at the place you
are located with a USB DTV dongle (sold separately) plugged into your DiskStation, and manage your recording
tasks and schedules.
DS audio
DS audio allows you to access Audio Station with an iOS/Android device or Windows Phone and listen to your
favorite music on the go. Besides, the remote controller feature allows you to control Audio Station's music
playback when there is an audio output device connected to the USB port of your DiskStation, such as a USB
speaker, or an external speakers or home stereo equipment connected to the audio dock of Synology Remote
(sold separately).
DS cam
DS cam allows users who own an iOS or Android device to live view their IP cameras, take snapshots, and view
recorded events from your Surveillance Station whenever a network connection is available.
