Connecting ReadyNAS Ultra to remote NUT server
I am trying to get my 2-disk ReadyNAS Ultra (x86) to understand it should connect to a remote UPS NUT server. The ReadyNAS can do this already, as long as there is another ReadyNAS it should connect...

Ok, some progress.
Kind of obvious... as usually is the case when you've looked at something for too long.
The UPS has to be named "UPS" and nothing else on the headless server.
Then the NAS picks it up, but still reports an error as NUT doesn't report back the variables that the NAS software expects (the UPS icon in the NAS UI blinks yellow, and says "UPS 1: Remote Error, Battery Charge: 100%".
Not quite there yet, but progress.
