Does anyone know what the extension for the 25.9 MB firmware update file should be ?
When I download it from ftp://ftp.dlink.com/Multimedia/dns325/Firmware/dns325_FW_102
it doesn't have an extension. I've tried zip and rar, but when I try to decompress it, I get
"The archive is either in unknown format or damaged"

Thanks

Try downloading the firmware from the D-Link Taiwan website here: http://tsd.dlink.com.tw/
Navigate to "DNS-325" using the dropdown menus and download the file titled: Firmware:DNS-325 A1 F/W 1.02(for WW). (WW stands for "worldwide")

Looks like a raw binary to me. Just DL it from FTP site and UL it to DNS-325

The UPS support is very unfortunate and not working for me at all.
I have the APC Back-UPS ES BE550 (one of the 3 officially supported UPS models) and my testing with the NAS behaviour with this UPS yielded the following results:
1) UPS remaining charge and status are reported correctly on System Info page, until UPS has battery power to keep USB connection alive. Once UPS shuts USB down shortly before switching the load off completely, the UPS status display disappears from the Info page. During that the USB LED blinks rapidly on NAS front.
2) The NAS makes no reaction to diminishing UPS charge whatsoever! I.e the NAS will not run a controlled shutdown even if the UPS charge has been depleted. This will result in sudden termination once the UPS switches off at 0% charge left!
The latter fact voids the complete idea of having a UPS in the first place!

On the same topic: a notification on switchover to battery power would be welcome, this would at least give a 30-minute window to shut the NAS down remotely.

@JavaLawyer: I tried downloading from the taiwanese site and I get the same file.

@priitv8: You might be right. It's probably a raw binary file that I then have to upload to the DNS-325

Thank You all

That's correct. After downloading locally to your PC, upload via the web interface. You don't need to concern yourself with the extension (or lack thereof).

I have the APC Back-UPS ES BE550 (one of the 3 officially supported UPS models) and my testing with the NAS behaviour with this UPS yielded the following results:
Got it working. In short, the problem seems to be rooted in 2 things:
1) Mandatory clause of at least 1 monitored UPS missing in /usr/local/ups/etc/upsmon.conf
(see "UPS DEFINITIONS" in http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/upsmon.html)
2) upsmon daemon - UPS monitor and shutdown controller - not running (will not start due to config error in 1)
To remedy, command-line access is needed. For me the fonz fun-plug worked.
What I did was simply to add the following lines at the end of Volume_1/fun_plug script:
Code: [Select]
echo "MONITOR usbhid 1 root 123 master" >> /usr/local/ups/etc/upsmon.conf
upsmon
Basically, D-Link could have defined all 4 possible upses (usbhid, bcmxcp, megatec and tripplite as set in /usr/local/ups/etc/ups.conf) to be monitored on, here.

No smartphone support on the DNLA
This will also affect samsung Smart Tv's using the Allshare App
It will see the file but will not play
On Android smart phones and Tablets the same it see's the file but will not play it
the DNS 320 plays them fine
I got the DNS 325 to replace a seagate peace of junk but that did play fine
Oh this effects every thing movies and music and pictures Via Dnla

I made an effort to translate your question (google translate). Did you unzip the firmware prior to installing? Did you receive an error while trying to install the firmware?

Извлек устройство из коробки и сразу обновил софт до1.02. Приложения ставятся только версией 2.0. Плагин воспроизведения видео не устанавливается. Скачал файл по предложеной ссылке,ставил архивом,неставится. Распаковав архив папка имеет большое содержимое и много файлов,что установить нельзя. Как воспроизвести видео? Как научить кулер включатся при заданой температуре?
