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 ha...

That would be the ZeroConfig networking 169.254.0.0/16 subnet - of course the machine must be on the same local network (what requires a local machine with a second interface or the ability to add a secondary IP on the active interface used for remote access).
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!
...and this computer is on the network at the remote site?
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? Assuming you did set the IP address correctly, that's very odd. Any chance something is blocking the traffic on that subnet? RAIDar doesn't use a standard protocol, so might not get blocked.
I'd try connecting the computer directly to the NAS if that's possible.
