Instructions for flashing LS-WX2.0TL/R1?

[megli]

Hi! I've got a WX2.0TL/R1 NAS hand me down I have from my father. It worked up until I unplugged and moved it and now it's blinking red 6x in a row. I'm guessing it lost its firmware? Who knows, but I want to flash firmware to it to see if it stays. I was also thinking about swapping it to different drives (I have a couple of 2TB drives that may be a good fit).

Anyway, I'm technical, so no need to dumb it down. I'm assuming there's a reset option I can trigger by holding down the function button? Change the IP of my machine to 10.X.X.X. Run a TFTP app with firmware in a particular folder, etc and I should be able to flash it?

Anyway, thanks for any advice you can provide!

Yes, you need the TFTP image to load the OS onto the device.

ok a few questions then:]

What TFTP utility should I use?

Where do I download the firmware and any other related files it looks for upon bootom?

What's the IP address the device reverts to when reloaded to factory defaults?

How do you revert it to factory defaults?

Any other steps I should know about once I see it pickup the files? Wait 10 minutes and manually restart? Does it auto-flash and then restart and then I should be able to reach the browser?

etc


Thanks!

Please let me know if you don't end up using the ls-wx2.0tl and would be willing to sell it.  I don't need the drives, only the controller unit since mine went bad recently.   I just need the same model in order to be able to read the data on my drives.  Please let me know asap.  thanks
