Silly question, but the RJ45 end of your cable is plugged into the Data port of the UPS, right? Not one of the network ports?
I have the NV+ rather than the Pro2 but I don’t remember having to do anything special for either my current UPS (550GI, same as you) or its predecessor (500i) in order to get the ReadyNAS to recognise it.
