The DiskStation by Synology is a famous NAS server solution for your home, allowing the installation of additional packages. We are proud to be able to provide.

Hi everbody, Synology has published a package to quickly install Asterisk on its Diskstation NAS systems - unfortunately, FreePBX so far has not been ported successfully onto those NASes. Anyone out there who can help how to add FreePBX to Synology’s Asterisk package (with 44.000 downloads of Diskstation users!!!) or install FreePBX+Asterisk together on the Diskstation? FreePBX is so much easier to configure, even though I believe the GUI could be cleaned up a bit - this are partially still very confusing I am working on using a AVM Fritzbox Router as trunk to get my analog or ISDN phones as extensions and the PSTN ISDN connection as trunk for FreePBX. This way, you can even have Synology as your PBX for non-SIP phone lines. Thank you for your help in advance, Mick.

Hi there, I installed the 'official' Synology Asterisk package, and it works quite well. However, I would prefer to have FreePBX as a configuration tool on top of that, otherwise configuration and handling is rather complicated. Has anyone successfully installed FreePBX on the Synology?

This REALLY would help a lot, as FreePBX makes life so much easier (also with iSymfony etc.). Let's make the Diskstation the best free PBX as well, hope that you help to make it happen. Eventually, the Synology developers will help as well. This should not be too far away from getting it done, now that Asterisk is already 'ported'. There are already 44000+ Synology users having downloaded, probably a lot are interested. Well I played around some more with asterisk on the NAS and I'm done. Freepbx is so much easier to modify than the current GUI.

I needed to change the SIP transport to udp,tcp in order to work with my groundwire iphone app. Fairly simple task in freepbx and plenty of pages showing exactly how to do it. Unfortunately it looks like I can't accomplish that through the current GUI. Or at least I can't find any documentation. Mainly because there is next to no documentation for this GUI. It's a shame as my plan was to upgrade to a better Synology NAS and this was my excuse to do it.

I love my Synology NAS and everything else I've done with it has been a breeze. Hi Derek, Having spent a significant time configuring the Synology Asterisk offering myself, I found a useful article on the asterisk forums.

This leads me to believe that Synology have provided the older Asterisk GUI project rather than the newer FreePBX GUI - also confirmed on the release notes here: (notice the Asterisk GUI 2.1.0-rc1 upgrade, not FreePBX). To quote the words of Digiums Malcolm Davenport: 'Digium built the asterisk-gui project for the AA50 product, which is not generally available to the public any longer. The manual for that is here ' Anyway, might be worth a look at that PDF to see if it helps identify the setting through the GUI. Otherwise, you could always the sip.conf directly so that it contains: transport = tcp,udp Thanks Dave.

Hi Dave Thanks for the reply. I believe you posted that link to the manual in an earlier topic and I found that it really doesn't match whats going on in the new GUI.

I pulled the trigger on a Raspberry PI model B and I'm going to use the RASPBX install which is based on the Freepbx GUI. I thought it would be slick having it all run through the NAS but ultimately this is probably the best solution for me. I feel Synology makes a great product and wanted to support them with another NAS purchase so I could replace the POS buffalo I have at the house but it was not meant to be.
