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

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.

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.
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

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.
