RN10200 Won't Discover & Serial Number Not Found When Searched
Hi,
I purchased RN10200 from a friend, I have plugged it into power and connected via ethernet cable to the wireless router but I cannot discover the NAS. I have even tried searching the serial...
Worth a try: Check your router DHCP table/attached devices for an indication that the ReadyNAS has acquired a network config - now you have an IP to point a browser to.
With a ReadyNAS (OS 6 ff.) not booting properly - e.g. because of previously used disks for other purposes, not partitioned and formatted for ReadyNAS usage - the cloud discovery can't work.
All nicely documented on the ReadyNAS Series 100 Desktop Installation Guide and the ReadyNAS OS 6 Desktop Storage Systems Hardware Manual p.165 ff.Alternate approach is using RAIDar to discover the ReadyNAS on the LAN - also in the docs above.
> "cannot" is not a useful problem description. It does not say what
you did. It does not say what happened when you did it. As usual,
showing actual actions with their actual results (error messages, LED
indicators, ...) can be more helpful than vague descriptions or
interpretations.
When I press discover it pops up saying "no devices disocvered".

You've exceeded my ReadyNAS expertise, but I'd still suggest a
settings reset before trying to deal with a used device. "No Devices
Discovered" could mean simply that the gizmo has a network configuration
incompatible with yours.

Can we assume that the Ethernet port-status LED indicators on your
(unspecified) "the wireless router" and the gizmo show a good physical
link?
