 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
