RN104 connection to APC BE700G

FramerV,

Thanks for your reply.I have just started setting up a recently bought RN214 and have upgraded to OS 6.6.0. Although I see 6.6.1 is released I was waiting for the ReadyNAS admin page to advise it was ready to install rather than do it manually.

I have an APC BE700G-UK attached to my RN214 using the APC supplied cable connected between the APC data port (the top port of three) and one of the two USB 3.0 connections on the back of the RN214. The RN214 recognises it as a remote ups and displays info similar to that in the second row of the screen shot at the start of the link above:

How do I add a UPS to my ReadyNAS OS 6 storage system?

i. e. In the first part of the instruction under   

1. Select System > Settings > UPS.

I still have to confirm whether a graceful shutdown is effected on change to battery power of whether it just dies once the battery does. Any comment or advice would be appreciated. I had expected the ups settings to cause a graceful shutdown after a preset time ever. good say 15 minutes.

I would like clarification on the UPS settings -What does threshold Mean?  is 20% stil leaving 80% of battery Life?  what is Auto?  Is their any explanation of when to or what the benefits of ticking the Enable network monitoring of attached UPS are.

I agree with Sambat that the instructions are not clear in the APC instructions and will be querying/commenting to them.
