New-to-me ReadyData 5200 not responding to web gui or Raidar requests
Hello! I have recently aquired a ReadyDATA 5200 with a couple of EDA4000s and I'm having a bit of trouble accessing the device. I know nothing of it's history nor have I any experience with Netge...
The BIOS reset did it, FYI for anyone searching the web for a similiar issue. Although the USB drive was detected and selected, for some reason it wouldn't boot to the OS after a reboot, would only do so following an OS Reinstall or a Factory Reset. All the sensor data is present in the GUI, firmware is up to date, Raidar can find it, able to create volumes and all that good stuff.
Thanks janderson223!
As an update, I connected the EDA4000s and selected the Factory Default option in the boot menu. As usual I was able to log in, but this time I noticed two DHCP addresses pulled by the device and the Netgear GUI shows all drives online allowing me to select individual drives to create a volume. Looks like the firmware is 1.4.5, no errors. Also noticed the sensor data is present in the Netgear GUI, hopefully a good sign. I will reboot this guy and see if it comes back normally.
No go, same behavior.
Decided to confirm that the USB DISK is selected as the boot device and then set BIOS to optimal defaults, rebooted, did take some time to begin loading the web page, but it came up normally again. Fingers crossed.
