ReadyNAS for Business RAIDiator 4.2.17
Configuring UPS
If this device is not connected to a UPS device, you can elect to enable a UPS connection to
another ReadyNAS device. Select the Enable monitoring of UPS physically attached to a
remote ReadyNAS check box and enter the IP address in the Remote IP address field.
If you use this option, the ReadyNAS is shut down automatically when a battery-low condition
is detected on a UPS connected to another ReadyNAS. This is useful when a UPS is shared
by multiple ReadyNAS units, even though only one ReadyNAS is monitoring the battery
status.
As an option, the ReadyNAS can remotely monitor the UPS when connected to a PC running
Network UPS Tools (NUT).
For more information about NUT, visit http://networkupstools.org.
You can also monitor your UPS over SNMP. Select the Monitor UPS over SNMP check box,
complete the SNMP UPS address field, and select an option from the Use MIB drop-down
menu.
APC
When an APC-brand UPS is connected, a shutdown on threshold drop-down option is
available. In addition, you can monitor and shut down your ReadyNAS unit over SMNP. See
