Initial setup of 102
Bought an RN102 to get my feet wet in NAS's. I haven't looked at a linux type system in ~25 years, and even then it was just crude file management. So far- Received RN102 Ordered two WD 1TB Reds (sh...
I'm getting an "unable to connect" message in Firefox now when I run setup. Raidar LED for device is green. In IE it says unable to display page. PC is Win8.1
What I did-
1) Received two new WD Red 1TB drives. I put them in an external enclosure and torture tested them for three days using Bart's Stuff Test on a PC. Both drives are A-Ok. This left them ntfs formatted.
2) Installed both drives in the 102 and powered it up. Various lights flashed, and after a few minutes it settled down. I then ran Raidar and it recognized the device. There was a message about the drives containing data and requiring formatting. I clicked format. The activity light flickered for a while. Clicking setup at this point gets the unable to connect message. Waited until morning and activity light is no longer flickering. Tried setup again. Same thing.
3) Performed a reset. (Graceful power off, hold sys switch with paper clip, power on to boot mode, hit backup until 1 is lit, press sys switch.) Lights flashed. Waited a minute and pressed backup to skip time out. Lights flash and settle down. Drive 1 and 2 lit, activity light is flickering. After 20 minutes activity light is still flickering. Clicking setup in Raidar still giving unable to connect message. Same with ReadyCloud.
Tried ReadyCloud on an Android tablet and same thing. It discovers the 102, but won't connect when I click setup.
The firmware is showing as 6.0.8 in Raidar.
