Network UPS
An Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) is a device that works off of a battery and keeps
devices that are connected to the UPS port running, for at least a short time, if the main
power source goes out. When a WD Cloud device is connected via UPS to the network
drive, the drive will automatically shut down when the UPS is drained to a specified
percentage.
Communication with the WD Cloud device is done using a master/slave protocol in which
the master device controls the slave devices.
When the UPS is connected to the WD Cloud device by USB, the device automatically
becomes a UPS Network Master. Other WD Cloud devices that are connected to that UPS
can be pointed to the IP address of the UPS Master. If the UPS is discharged to the
specified percentage, all of the WD Cloud slave drives will automatically shut down properly.
To set up Network UPS:
1. Click the Slave Mode toggle button to ON. The Network UPS Slave mode screen
appears.
2. Enter the IP address of the UPS master. An "in progress" screen appears and when the
setting is updated, the Network screen appears with Network UPS Slave set to OFF.
Windows Services
The Windows Services section of the Network screen allows you to configure Window
Services applications on your WD Cloud device.
Workgroup
The Workgroup feature allows devices in the same workgroup to access one another. This
option is only available for Windows operating systems. Each time you add a device to your
network, assign it the same workgroup name to enable access.
1. In the Workgroup file, enter the name of the workgroup for your network.
2. Click Save.
