It's rather simple:
1. N.B. Read the User Manual first at this url: http://www.apcmedia.com/salestools/ASTE-6Z7V5V_R1_EN.pdf
2. Make sure to turn off your ReadyNas Duo.
3. Connect the RJ-45/USB cable at the top right-hand corner of the APC (i.e. the Data Port interface). See pictures below.
.
N.B. The RJ-45/USB cable will look similar to this one here. It has a phone jack on one end and a USB head on the other.

4. Connect the IEC C13 to IEC C14 to one of the three sockets on the right-hand side. The male-to-female cable.See image below:

N.B. Do not put this cable it into the Surge socket.
Rather, this cable should then go into the power socket of your ReadyNas Duo.
5. Turn on your APC.
6. Turn on your ReadyNas Duo.
7. Go into your Duo's Frontview
8. Go to System-->Power. In the UPS Configuration area, select when the ReadyNas should shutdown based on
the UPS reserver power supply. It is usually set at Auto.
This should do it.
