Dear Experts,

I want to use the power timer option in my Netgear ReadyNAS 420 Series Network Attached Storage (NAS) . Kindly help me understand how to set the timer in it.

Any videos or a detailed explanation about power timer option would greatly help.

Hi @Santosh1605

Welcome to the Community!

Here are KBs to explain the power timer options available on OS 6 units.

Enabling Power Timer

Power Timer Enhancements

Under Power Timer Enhancements there are two options, State-based and Event-based.

The default/original Power Timer is known as State-based Power Timer. State-based Power Timer mandates a schedule for your ReadyNAS on when it should be turned on and when it should be turned off. This is designated by a blue box for the state ON.

The new Power Timer setting is known as event-based Power Timer. Event-based Power Timer mandates a schedule for your ReadyNAS on when it should power on or off the device. Any time not selected will keep the device in the last known state. This provides a flexibility for between powering on and powering off the device for different days. Additionally, it allows you to keep the device powered off instead of turning back on. 

Hope this helps!
