Initial configuring when no DHCP is available

Question

First off, I didn't see an option for the model we have. 4312V2, but I picked the closest one.

We shipped this NAS to the datacenter on the other side of the country. The network there doesn't have a DHCP server so the adapters are all coming up with 169.258.X.X addresses as shown in RAIDar.

I changed the IP of the machine I am attempting access from to a 169.258.X.X address, but still can't ping or otherwise access the NAS.

We are only using the 4 1000mb connections for this, if that information helps.

Does anyone have any advice on configuring this?

Thank you for the reply. I changed the IP for the computer's NIC to the same subnet and that didn't work.Adding the IP as a secondary Ip to the NIC did work though. I appreciate your help!&nbsp;

...and this computer is on the network at the remote site?

infrafas · Answer

It is local to the NAS. It's a VM whose host network is plugged into the same switch

You can see the NAS in RAIDar on the same machine that can't even ping it?&nbsp; Assuming you did set the IP address correctly, that's very odd.&nbsp; Any chance something is blocking the traffic on that subnet?&nbsp; RAIDar doesn't use a standard protocol, so might not get blocked.&nbsp;I'd try connecting the computer directly to the NAS if that's possible.
