Egnos Posted August 5, 2020 Share #1 Posted August 5, 2020 Goodmorning everyone, I'm trying to turn a desktop PC into NAS using XPEnology. After creating the USB pen for booting I using the link http://find.synology.com, to search the NAS in my network (no internet connection). The problem is that I can't find anything !! I created a local network using a router which is not connected to the internet, could this be the problem? Is an internet connection necessary or is it enough to put the PCs on the network? These are the downloaded files: boot: ds3615_6.2 DSM: DSM_DS3615xs_25426.pat Thank you all. Greetings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jensmander Posted August 5, 2020 Share #2 Posted August 5, 2020 Simple answer: if you try to use an external service (find.synology.com) with no internet access -> doesn’t work. DSM needs a DHCP in your network. If your router supports this feature you should check it‘s DHCP leases after the loader has started. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted August 5, 2020 Share #3 Posted August 5, 2020 As stated above, you can use the IP provided form the DHCP server log, or you can use the "Synology Assistent" tool from your "normal" computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egnos Posted August 5, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted August 5, 2020 Could you give me the link to download "Synology Assistent"? I would like to install a DS3615xs. Are there any special settings to make in the "Synology Assistent" tool? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearcat Posted August 6, 2020 Share #5 Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) @Egnos You can download the one found here or you can download the great toolkit provided by jensmander, wich includes the Syno Assistent. The tool is easy to use, it will scan you local network, locating any "Synologys" and let you connect to it: Note: If the Synology Assistant cannot find your Synology NAS, you can try the following to fix this issue: - Ensure the Synology NAS and your computer are connected to the same LAN. - Remove or disable the firewall, especially Windows' built-in firewall, or antivirus software on your computer temporarily. - Use an Ethernet cable to directly connect your computer and the Synology NAS without going through any network device. After you successfully set up your Synology NAS, re-connect both computer and Synology NAS to the router.

jensmander Posted August 6, 2020 Share #6 Posted August 6, 2020 Sometimes the Assistant needs a second run (hit the search button again if nothing could be found). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egnos Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share #7 Posted August 6, 2020 Thanks to all and tomorrow I will do some tests. I'll let you know as soon as possible. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egnos Posted August 7, 2020 Author Share #8 Posted August 7, 2020 Eureka works! I had to change Loader and accordingly DSM: Loader: 1.02b DSM Platform: DS3615xs Now I am doing some tests to understand the reliability of the system. Questions: Is the Synology account indispensable? What features are enabled with an account? Thanks to everyone for the precious advices!!
