1. Introduction

AiMaster receives push notifications by default. To receive push notifications on your smartphone or tablet, download AiMaster from the Apple App Store or Google Play and allow push notifications. When designated system events occur, your ASUSTOR NAS will immediately send notification to the Apple, Google push notification server which will then forward it to your mobile device.

You can configure push notifications for your ASUSTOR NAS using either Pushbullet or Pushover, which provide push notification services over networks. These services are available on multiple devices, across different platforms and major Web browsers. When designated system events occur, notifications can be instantly pushed to your phone, mobile device or PC.
