Release Notes for Cisco Smart Storage Optware PKG Package Version 0.99.163

Your NSS 300 Series Smart Storage comes with built-in applications and the 
ability to add new applications. Add-on applications add new functionality to your 
Smart Storage device. Add-on applications are downloaded from Cisco.com via a 
PKG package or PKG plugin installation file.

The Optware PKG package is design for software installation within small 
embedded systems. Optware is a command-line utility and was originally created 
for the Linksys NSLU2 Unslung firmware. Using the ipkg command, Optware 
allows you to install software programs ported to the NSLU2 on the Cisco Smart 
Storage. 

After Optware is installed, you can SSH to the NAS system and use the command 
“ipkg install <software name>” to install extra pre-compiled, hardware-dependent 
software, such as GCC Compiler. The list of compatible software can be found at:

The software in the unstable directory might be the latest software, although it 
might not have completed full testing for compatibility. Consult the Optware 
community with any questions or concerns about compatibility.

Prior to running the Optware software PKG package, you need an internet 
connection and the DNS server needs to be configured on the Cisco NSS 300 
Series Smart Storage device. See
