Using the ReadyNAS to create a Network UPS for PCs
The ReadyNAS can issue "UPS commands" to other devices, effectively allowing your UPS to be networked and shutdown client PCs. I've got my UPS connected to the NAS and setup using the procedure below...
i followed the string above and got it to work!! thanks everyone for the tips.
two questions;
1 the NOTIFYFLAG values; do i need that? im not clear on what that does for me. at this point i dont have any value specified, like the default file.
2 in frontview, on the ups button, it shows i have 9 minutes of standby time on my ups. but....when i used the apc software, it said i had 25 minutes, which is more or less correct. i know this has nothing to do with winnut, but this is the first time i connected the ups to the readynas (figuring it better to protect the open files on the pc and use full journaling on the nas box). is the readynas just reading this incorrectly, or is that what it figures it will run before shutdown?
thanks,
mark
