Before creating a NAS volume for your Synology DiskStation NAS, you must install the
NAS.
Before you begin
Designate a dedicated NAS for Stratocast™—one that is used solely to store your video
recordings. Having a dedicated NAS ensures that you get accurate storage
estimates of the hard disk on your NAS, and that you do not risk deleting
other personal files that are not related to Stratocast™.
What you should know
Although you can add a NAS volume for whichever Synology
NAS you want, only the DS214 has been tested and is fully supported by Stratocast™. For the latest information about
your Synology NAS, refer to the Synology website and the product documentation that
is provided with your device.
You can install DiskStation Manager in one of
the following ways:
From the Internet
From the installation CD
Procedure
To install your DiskStation NAS from the Internet:
Power on the DiskStation NAS and connect it to the Internet.
If you have Internet access, go to find.synology.com. If you do not have
Internet access, enter diskstation:5000 in your browser.
Click Connect and follow the onscreen
instructions to complete the installation.
To install your DiskStation NAS from the installation CD:
Insert the installation CD, and click Start to install the Synology Assistant and Data
Replicator.

Once prompted, find the DSM_[model name]_[number].pat file in
the CD-Drive:\dsm\... directory, and load it to complete
