Debugging erroneous UPS alerts
We just moved out RN516 from our main computer room to another building and its now on its own UPS (Tripp-Lite Omni1500LCDT). The UPS is connected via USB and when viewing the UPS status in the Ready...
UPDATE:
After a few more of the erroneous "UPS battery is low" messages, the ReadyNAS simply dropped the UPS from the list of monitored UPS devices. I then hooked up a stand-alone PC with TrippLite's UPS monitoring software to see if it could pick up any additional info. I kept the PC hooked up for two weeks and reviewed the logs generated by the TrippLite monitoring software. Nothing out of the ordinary, everything looked normal. I removed the PC and plugged the USB cable back into the ReadyNAS and the erroneous errors started showing up again and the UPC was dropped again after a few days.
At this point I guess the only thing to do is wait for Netgear to provide a fix via a new firmware update.
