ReadyNAS 314 - Recommended UPS?
Hi I have a ReadyNAS 314 in the post, and am thinking about a UPS as well. Can anyone recommend any UPS which this ReadyNAS model supports? I would prefer an APC model (as have used them before)....
Am using the first generation model of the BEG700 (Without the Eco Button) and it works well. If you have your PC connected to the UPS for power too, you can use WinNUT to have a service running on your PC that will also shut it down when the UPS goes on battery power. You will have to allow "Remote Monitoring of Connected UPS" and specify the IP address(es) of those devices on the network you wish to allow access to. For this I use 192.168.0.0/24 (all devices in the 192.168.x.x address space will be able to monitor the UPS via the NAS indirectly).
Just be aware that with your NAS and desktop PC attached to the Battery side of the UPS, depending on the power requirements of the PC, you may be draining the UPS too quickly if/when it goes on battery power.
I set WinNUT to shutdown the PC as soon as a power loss occurs, but set the timeout on the NAS to "Automatic". This is with a PC with a potential draw of 800w. Emphasis on the "potential" part.

Gibxxi,
I have an UPS APC BE700G connected and recognised by my RN2120 (I got an alarm saying so): The setup however still requests a name and an IP adress.
What do I have to do to finish the installation? Am I connecting the UPS to the network through the RJ45/USB cable?
Regards,
JA
Disregard, I had only to restart my NAS.
Now it is set up and recognized.
