Looking for an UPS for ReadyNAS Duo v2
Hi guys, Is there any (cheap) UPS that would tell to the NAS in case of power failure so the NAS is able to send an email before shutdown? I understand that some UPS are delivered with USB cable b...
The ReadyNAS uses NUT already. Normally that is for allowing multiple devices to get the UPS status over the network, so they can all shut down when the UPS battery reaches critical. I use that now - my RN102 is connected with the NAS over USB, but my NV+ and Duo V1 are also protected using the NAS. All are connected to an ethernet switch (which also needs to be powered from that UPS btw), and all shut down.
But WoL is something else again. Once the ReadyNAS all power down, they cannot send WoL packets... NUT does not change that.
If you have another device on your home network that will power-on automatically, then you can potentially send WoL from it. That would essentially automate your existing manual process.
There's an opportunity for a Netgear router app here.
BTW, what UPS does your office have?
