Getting ReadyNas to use other server's UPS
Hi I have the ReadyNas NV+ v1 and wondered if there was a way to share the UPS from my Ubuntu Server.
My Ubuntu Server has apcupsd running and I've tried putting the IP in the ReadyNas but get this error:
"Could not connect to the specified UPS server. Please verify that UPS sharing is enabled on that system and try again."
I wondered if anyone knew a way to get this to work?
Thanks for any help.

ReadyNAS uses NUTS ( http://www.networkupstools.org/ )
Hi thanks Stephen.
Ok I've removed apcupsd from my server and installed Nut and done the basic setup. I can see it working on my server and it's displaying the battery time remaining etc.
But when I log into the readynas and add the IP of the server it fails to connect.
I've tried editing the server /etc/nut/upsd.users file and putting a user called root with my ReadyNas master password and setting it as slave. But the ReadyNas still won't connect.
Any help getting this set up correctly would be really appreciated. Do I need to edit a config file on the Readynas or am I doing something else wrong?
Thanks again for any help. :)
The readynas uses log-on monuser with password pass. I don't think you can change that on the v1.
You could reverse the setup, and have the linux system monitor the NAS.
