NETGEAR Business Edition manual Power Timer, UPS Configuration, Wake-On-LAN

ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition User Guide

Note: Enabling disk spin-down disables journal mode. Once enabled, if you decide to disable disk spin-down, you need to manually re-enable journal mode if desired.

NETGEAR recommends UPS if you utilize this option.

Power Timer

The ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition can be scheduled to power off and power back on (on certain models) automatically (see Figure 5-3). Select the Enable power timer check box and enter the action and time. (The Power ON option is available on the ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition NV through an add-on package.)1 The Power ON option does not appear if the ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition hardware does not support this feature.

Note: When the ReadyNAS Pro Business Edition is powered off, any file transfers and backup jobs are interrupted, and backup jobs scheduled during the power off state

do not run.

UPS Configuration

If this device is not connected to a UPS device, you may elect to enable a UPS connection to another NAS device. Select the Enable monitoring of UPS physically attached to a remote ReadyNAS check box and enter the IP Address in the Remote IP field. NETGEAR recommends that you enable this feature if you have enabled the Disk Spin-Down option.

If you use this option, the ReadyNAS is shut down automatically when a battery-low condition is detected on a UPS connected to another ReadyNAS. This is useful when a UPS is shared by multiple ReadyNAS units, even though only one ReadyNAS is monitoring the battery status.

As an option, the ReadyNAS can remotely monitor the UPS when connected to a PC running Network UPS Tools (NUT). For more information about NUT, see http://www.networkupstools.org.

Wake-On-LAN

You can power-on this device remotely by sending it a "WOL Magic Packet" if the WOL service is enabled.
