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 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.

Thx. Generally speaking UPS that use serial connectors+adapters to USB aren't monitored correctly. However, that's not your particular problem, since you have a standard USB cable. It might be worth trying all the USB ports on the NV+, and confirming that they behave similarly.
Your UPS isn't listed on https://networkupstools.org/ddl/Proline/ so it might not be compatible.
Even if the UPS can't be monitored, there is still value in using it - since in many cases the power is restored before the battery runs down.
Thanks StephenB. Will see if I can get an APC UPS. Looks like I have the best chance with one of those.
