Next step then.ĭisks out, just to be sure, checking the S.M.A.R.T. The “owner” of this product line has changed and probably more than once and there are all kind of software and versions iomega support offers to download none listening on udp/2080. But couldn’t find one the NAS is looking for. So it seems to be looking for some manager. The packets seem to be some binary protocol with only “m1” and mac address readable as strings. Asks for IP, gets it and then just sits there periodically sending broadcast UDP to the port 2080. So, first things first, hook it up to my notebook, setup a local dhcp server and start tcpdump. So I picked the thing up to see what’s inside and if it’s worth wasting time with or just buy another one. He is a smart guy but he is not into computers. A week ago he called me telling the thing is dead and he has run out of ideas. And he was considerably happy given the price he paid for it. A friend of mine was using this NAS for some time.
