Linkstation not seen on network

[jschutzm]

Inherited a Linkstation Pro Duo LS-W2.0TGL/R1 from a friend. (no drives)

I plugged it into the network and it is not visible by the NasNavigator or updater tools.  Going into the Router's admin page.. I don't see it listed on the DHCP device list as getting an IP.

 

NOTE: I don't have MAC filtering on the router, and can see other devices such as my PC, Laptop, iPhone, and Tablet. 

 

I tried booting it both with some old drives (which I want to reformat) and without any drives in it.  

 

How do I reset it to factory defaults so it gets an IP and is able to be seen by the Navigator software?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

 

Thanks

Insert two unformatted HDDs and follow FAQ 3 of 5 in the storage section.

LS-W2.0TGL/R1

 

OK, I did that.

 

FIRST OFF.. I only have 1 Drive right now. -- is that a problem?

 

 

I followed FAQ 3 of 5 several times, here's what happened.

 

Got rapid blinking blue light -- good

Power light came on.  Activity light flashed then front panel showed a blinking Exclamation point - 6 pulses, then a slight blink from the activity light, then 6 pulses from the middle exclamation point. - repeats for several minutes.

 

Hit the FUNCTION key on the back once.. unit began to initialize.

 

TFTP server listening on 192.168.11.1:69

First file transfer fine, then Initr.bufalo timesout, almost immediately

At this point the TFTP server just sits there.

 

So I repeated several times.. same affect.

I downloaded the Firmware and thought maybe I should extract the files into the TFTP folder and overwrite the generic files that were in that folder.. so I did that and repeated steps.. same result.  First file says "blocks served" but 2 file almost immediately times out.

 

SO I run through FAQ 2 of 5 Force Firmware Update - but the LS updater says that there are no devices found. 

 

NasNavigator can't see it either.

 

 

 

Is the unit DEAD?
