Can't connect to the Frontview of a Readynas Ultra 4
My Readynas lost a drive a while back so I'm trying to not boot it up too often until I have a replacement drive. The firmware is possibly the latest version and I don't want to check again until I h...
Thanks for the reply. Booted it up again (didn't want to because it's missing a drive) and according to Raidar it's running 4.2.31.

So the only remaining two problems are that I have to get a new disk and that I'm not able to connect to Frontview. Should I try a USB Boot Recovery already? I don't want to unless it's really necessary.

I don't think I'd try a USB recovery at this point.
Have you resolved the SSL protocol issue with 4.2.x firmware already? If not, is that one of the frontview errors you are seeing?
