Hey guys, I tried looking these options up in th manual but they were not in there. What do you guys set for the shutdown threshold? 60% I guess? Also, since this UPS is connected via USB cable, I am assuming the checkbox for monitoring the UPS over the network will not do anything?

Shutdown threshold is a battery threshold. In general, I set up 90%, below this value, the NAS will automatically power off. If you select "Enable network monitoring of attached UPS", in another NAS, choose "Remote UPS", input this box's IP address, below 90% battery threshold, these two NAS will automatically power off.
