connecting RN204 with Cyberpower UPS
I've been reading about this quite a bit already, but am confused on a couple of points.
1) I am planning to connect the UPS to the Ready NAS with a USB cable. The software manual seems to indicate that monitoring the UPS over a USB port is not supported. Will a USB connection work? I'm just trying to be sure I get a clean shutdown in case of a power outage lasting more than about 10 minutes.
2) This may be obvious to most of you but I just want to be sure. It looks like the both the UPS and the RN204 have only type A female USB connections. Do I just connect them using a Type A male to Type A male USB cable?
Thanks!
Jim
A USB connection does work, that is a mistake in the manual.
But my three CyperPower UPS all need a type B plug, and the NAS of course uses type A. What CyberPower model do you have?

It's a CP850PFCLCD. I must have had a total brain meltdown. I clearly see the type B port now, thanks. At least your answer prompted me to look again.
