Connecting ReadyNas to an existing LAN
I am using a Ubiquiti Toughswitch router for a LAN to record multiple underwater microphone signals. Until now I have been using a portable HDD to store the data. Due to enormous amount of data comin...
Thanks for your reply.
- the PC and 314 are both connected to the router
- the router is set to static IP address, does it need to be changed to dhcp?
- I can acces the 314 through radar but cannot manipulate the webpage it only shows the intro page listing the firmware, which is 6.1.4
- no Users setup as of yet
- the data comes in as .wav files and is managed by a software program which lets me choose folders to save the files in.

Can you tell us what the IP address of the PC and the 314 are? It sounds like they are not in the same address range.
RAIDar will tell you the 314's address.
the IP address of the router is 192.168.1.20 the other units connected to that LAN are in the same range. The 314 address is 169.254.198.169
Well that's the problem. The RN314 also needs a 192.168.1.x address to function on your network.
If DHCP is not enabled on the router, then try enabling it. After the NAS comes up, you can set a static address if you like. Remember to configure the DNS servers when you do that. Or just leave DHCP enabled, and use address reservation (which generally is a better approach).
I enabled dhcp on the router and tried connecting the 314, but it did not work.
Here is some more info that might help to figure out whats wrong. In the IPv4 control setting on the PC I do not have a DNS server identified. Do I need to do that and what should that IP address be? The IP address in IPv4 is set to 192.168.1.x on the PC and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0
