ReadyNas nv+ V1 UPS not detected
I have an old ReadyNAS nv+ v1. When I connect it to my UPS - ?? using one of the USB ports on the back Frontview does not show that the ups is detected. But when I unplug the usb cable I get a message in the log and on the front screen of the readynas that the ups has been disconnected.
When the ups is connected, simmulating a power off situation has no effect on the readynas even if it does report the ups is disconnected if I unplug the usb cable after that.
Are there specific types / models of ups I must use with my readynas nv+ v1?

Hi Greigw , thanks to Sandshark we know, that (quoting) "ReadyNAS uses NUT (Network UPS Tools) for UPS You can find their compatibility list here: https://networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html."
Here is the link to the post where this is mentioned: https://community.netgear.com/t5/New-ReadyNAS-Users-General/Netgear-ReadyNAS-RN212-UPS-Options/m-p/1709205#M35242
Kind regards
Note that the NV+ is old, and the version of NUT on it might be dated.
What UPS do you have? What firmware is running on the ReadyNAS?
Thank you for taking the time to respond.
The following is taken off Frontview:
The UPS is a Proline UPS A650. Which was bought here in South Africa. Probably a rebadged generic model. Internally it is identicle to another UPS I have called a Mecer ME-650-VU+ which has the same characteristics when connected to the Readynas.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks for responding. See my reply to another response.
Is the cable connecting the NAS to the UPS a normal USB cable?
Or is the UPS output a serial connector that is adapted to USB on the NAS end?
