How does the UPS communicate with my ReadyNAS?
There is a UPS setup option in my ReadyNAS and in the manual it says to setup a UPS either remotely or online. But how does it connect to a UPS itself? Does the UPS need to have an ethernet cable t...
I use auto. As the batteries weaken, that should help it chose an appropriate time. With some UPS, the auto parameters can be adjusted using the manufacturer's software. With others, you are just adjusting the decision pont of that software and it doesn't affect anything when connected to a NAS. Some even let you adjust parameters via an LCD display.
With batteries that are nearing end-of-life, that last 10% can go pretty fast. Of course, if your UPS is barely large enough to handle the load, old batteries not might hold up at all. SLA batteries generally work better if not deep discharged. So setting a limit of 90% is probably not the best if you live in an area with frequent outages.
I have had about 2 outages per month. Pretty crazy. My UPS is working well. I think I have it set to 90% so it powers off after about 5 min. I just need to find out if there is a setting that will turn the system back on! I didn't expect to have this many outages.
