Duo UPS Configuration - adding more than one IP address for monitoring attached UPS?
I have two Duos (V1) that have been humming along for many many years, One has been connected to an APC UPS and the the other monitoring it. I now have added a Duo V2 for more storage and would like to have it monitored also but I can't figure out how to enter IP addresses for both hosts? Either one works fine, but not both?

HI SteveB,
Well, first thanks for the speedy reply, and second, I finally got it to work!
Are you sure your two remotely monitored NAS are actually being monitored by the UPS? In RAIDar, are the UPS lights all green?
Yes. And when the power actually fails they all end up with notifications in the logs.

I don't have a v2, but I have done something similar with a duo v1, NV+ v1 and an RN102.
I just pointed two of the NAS to the third one's IP address, and didn't have any problem. I didn't enter anything in the "hosts allowed access" field of the NAS directly connected to the UPS.
Is that what you are doing?
HI SteveB,

Are you sure your two remotely monitored NAS are actually being monitored by the UPS? In RAIDar, are the UPS lights all green? With two NAS (one physically connected to the UPS and one being remotely monitored), I had to configure both NAS for this to work. Here is how I've configured for one remotely monitored NAS, followed for two units.
I’ll refer to the unit physically connected as NAS-P and the other units to be remotely managed as NAS-R1, NAS-R2, …
----- One unit remotely managed -----
=> On NAS-R1:
- Check "Enable monitoring of UPS physically attached to a remote ReadyNAS"
- Enter remote IP of NAS-P.
=> On NAS-P:
- Check "Enable network monitoring of attached UPS"
- For "Hosts allowed access", enter the IP address NAS-R1
----- Two units remotely managed -----
=> On NAS-R1 and NAS-R2:
- Check "Enable monitoring of UPS physically attached to a remote ReadyNAS"
- Enter remote IP of NAS-P.
=> On NAS-P:
- Check "Enable network monitoring of attached UPS"
- For "Hosts allowed access", enter the domain/subnet (for me - 192.168.1.0/255.255.254.0) for your network. It will convert to 192.168.1.0/nn.
(I had assumed I’d just need to list the IPs of NAS-R1 and of NAS-R2, with some deliminater between them but that is not allowed).
Green lights on all units under RAIDar and success-emails from units.
Thanks again.
