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 mess...
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.
This is the image removed by the moderators above now with serial no. removed.Hope this is acceptable to all.
Thanks for the help so far guys. I am hoping there is someone out there with an NV+ who has found a way to reliably connect a UPS to avoid unexpected power losses. Something we are having to learn to live with here in South Africa.
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?
Hi StephenB,
It is a normal USB cable with the square connector (as found on usb connected printers) on the end that plugs into the UPS and the standard flat connector on the other end.
