You can import the NETGEAR SNMP MIB to your SNMP client applications. This MIB is on 
the installation CD included with your unit. You can also download the MIB from 
Optional Uninterruptible Power Supplies
This section discusses the following topics:
About Uninterruptible Power Supplies
NETGEAR recommends that you connect the ReadyDATA physically to one or more 
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) devices to protect against data loss due to power failures. 
Once connected, you can add up to three UPS devices to the Dashboard to enable the 
ReadyDATA to monitor and manage them. The ReadyDATA supports SNMP UPS devices 
and remote UPS devices.
If you enable email alerts, the ReadyDATA sends a message if a UPS status changes. For 
example, if a power failure forces a UPS into battery mode, or when a battery is low, you 
receive an email message. 
When any UPS battery is low, or when a power failure occurs, the ReadyDATA automatically 
shuts down gracefully. In a configuration with an optional expansion disk array that is also 
connected to a UPS, before the ReadyDATA shuts down, it saves data to disks in the 
expansion disk array. However, the expansion disk array does not automatically shut down. If 
the batteries in the UPS to which the expansion disk array is connected become low, the 
expansion disk array shuts down ungracefully, but data has already been saved and is 
therefore safe.
Both the ReadyDATA and expansion disk arrays have dual power supplies. For full power 
protection, all power supplies should be connected to UPS devices.
UPS Configurations
The ReadyDATA supports UPS devices managed over SNMP and UPS devices managed 
over a remote connection.
UPS Devices Managed over SNMP
An SNMP UPS lets the ReadyDATA query the manufacturer-specific MIB. The ReadyDATA 
monitors and manages the UPS through SNMP. The Ethernet connection between the UPS 
and the ReadyDATA passes through a switch.
