The config is stored on the disks. Unless you downloaded the config sometime before the NAS failed you will have to manually reconfigure the NAS from scratch.
I'd suggest putting a disk in the NAS, updating to the latest firmware (if not already running it), then do another factory reset to get a clean setup on the latest firmware. A factory reset after updating to 4.1.7+ will give you 4k sector alignment which is important with most 2TB disks.
