Shutdown two readynas from one UPS
I have two readynas, running OS6, they are plugged into the same UPS. There is only one USB output port on the UPS. Any suggestions for how to have both readynas setup to automatically shutdown when there is a power outage?

Doesn't matter. What matters is that the switch is getting its power from the UPS, so it stays powered up after the power fails.

Go to the power page on the web ui, and expand the UPS section.
- Select "remote UPS" as the type
- Enter the IP address of the other NAS as the address.
- Set the user to monuser
- Set the password to pass
Also reserve the IP address of the other NAS in your router.

The normal way is to connect the two NAS to the same switch or router - and protect that switch with the same UPS.
Then enable remote monitoring on the NAS that is connected to the UPS USB, and monitor over the network on the second NAS.
They are connected to the same switch, its not a netgear switch and doesn't ahve any kind of USB port for monitoring the UPS.
How do I setup one readynas to follow the other readynas over the network in shutting down?
