Cannot change IP address on LS-X2.0TL
« on: April 18, 2019, 08:56:33 PM »
I changed Routers (from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.1.1) but now cannot access LS-XL646 LinkNavigator.  I have rebooted the router, Win10 computer & LinkNavigator but the IP address displayed in "NAS Navigator2" always remains as "192.168.0.225" (my original IP address with the previous router).  Each time I 'refresh', I keep getting the same message:
Could not set system clock.
Could not change the IP address of LS-XL646.

I have checked the network cables
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,

If you are using dhcp on the device you should get a new ip address if you power it off then on again.

If you configured a static ip you could:
change your netmask from 255.255.255.0 to 255.255.0.0 then try accessing it’s web interface to change it. If you still can’t access it you can try connecting it directly to your pc.

Since there is no 'power' button on the LS-XL646, the only way to power is off is just to pull the power wire.  Every time I do this the "NAS Navigator2 screen shows the same configuration:
IP Address: 192.168.0.225
SubnetMask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
MAC Address....
Firmware: 1.74
Selecting Properties, IP Address tab, then selecting "Use DHCP" & "Renew IP address", it displays:
"No response from drive."
It does not matter how many times I unplug and power back up the unit, it always re-displays the same information.

Even attempting to set a static IP & changing the netmask to either 255.255.255.0 OR 255.255.0.0, does not make any change & always comes back with:
"No response from drive."

I then connected the LS-XL646 directly to my computer (first using a crossover cable and then a straight cable) but my computer does not even see it.  I have noticed that without a cable & selecting Refresh, the LS-XL646 disappears from the NAS Navigator2 screen but then using EITHER cable and performing a refresh with either cable, the NAS Navigator2 screen does see that the LS-XL646 is there but responds with:
Could not set system clock.
Could not change the IP address of LS-XL646.

Checkout page 31 of the ls-xl manual for the procedure to shutdown the device without pulling out the power cable:

I was unable to open the web link (settings) since my new IP was 192.168.1.x & my drive still thought it was on 192.168.0.x.  I could never get the web page to display.  Thanks for the info.


Finally resolved!!
Went to a friends home that was using ip, 192.168.0.1 configuration.  Setup drive & was able to access.  Set IP as 192.168.1.210 (Static) and performed a shutdown from the web link.  Brought back home, connected to my new router (192.168.1.1) and drive was able to connect!
