APC backup ES 550AG - works but cannot config in RAIDiator

APC ES550AG, with a ReadyNAS Duo V2, firmware 5.3.5

The UPS works in that the NAS sees it and correctly reports its status with the USB cable connected to the RJ45 dataport on the UPS. RAIDiator says about 40mins runtime at full battery charge But there doesn't seem to be any option anywhere in RAIDiator to actually configure this UPS. From searching the forum, I thought there should be some config options under System->Settings->Power, but all I can see there options for disk spin-down, power timer and wake on LAN.
I also see the UPS box grayed out in Alerts.

Is there no way to configure the Duo's response to a power failure, and specify what battery percentage to initiate shutdown at?

    Most posts on the forum are for the old Frontview UI.

    There's probably not any UI for configuring the battery percentage to initiate shutdown at. The automatic setting would be used which is fine. The NAS needs less than a minute to shutdown, I think. The automatic setting would shutdown the NAS when there's considerably more runtime left than that.
