RNDP 2000 Setup Issue
Repurposing my ReadyNAS RNDP2000 and went through the process of reinstalling the OS. Reused 2 existing hard drives, that are identitical, in the NAS that have been formatted. NAS is connecte...
What happens if you connect the NAS to your router (or an ethernet switch)?
Connected the NAS to the network and used RAIDar and it does not appear.
My local network has a different IP configuration than the NAS setup IP. The range is 192.168.0.###

That's because it defaults to 192.168.168.168 when it sees no response from DHCP. Otherwise, it uses the address it gets from the router.

Was the PC connected with WiFi? It's a bit odd that RAIDar would see it when directly connected, but not when it's connected to your network.
Is the ethernet LED lit on the NAS?
Do you think the NAS is syncing? During the RAID setup it could go non-responsive (though that's more likely with the Duo than the Pro-2).
Did the "Factory Default" install.
Ran through the prompts and was able to choose XRAID via RAIDar.
Not sure but I believe install seem to take. The drive on NAS seem to be syncing and saw the activity light flickering. "Disk 2" was flickering while "Disk 1" remained steady.
Wrote down the MAC address during the install.
I misunderstood the instructions from before and though that the NAS initially had to be setup directly connected to a workstation during the initial setup.
NAS is now connected directly to router. After the initial install setup was completed the NAS disapeared from the RAIDar. Left it alone for the night. Next day tried to bring up web page interface but got nothing.
Ran command on terminal "arp -a" and I'm able to see the NAS by identifying by it's MAC address.
The ethernet LED lights are lit on the NAS. The NAS has an IP and I can ping it and get a response but it's not showing up on RAIDar and I cant connect to the web interface.
Reran the OS install but still stuck with the same above issue.
Forgot to mention the NAS only appears on the RAIDar app when the disk are ejected from the NAS.
