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.
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.
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.

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.
