Enable Power Timer
You can configure your ReadyNAS system to power itself on and off automatically
according to a schedule.
CAUTION: If you schedule this device to power off, data transfers are interrupted,
pending backup jobs do not run, and snapshots are not taken.
There are two different types of schedules available for the power timer, state based,
or event based. If you set a state-based schedule, you must set the power state, on or
off, for every hour, although it is easy to set ranges of hours such as every night. If you
set an event-based schedule, you determine at what times the system turns on or turns
off—these are the events. Between events, the system remains in the state set by the last
event.
To enable the power timer and set a schedule:
1. Log in to your ReadyNAS system.
2. Select System > Power.
3.
If not already expanded, expand Power Timer.
4. Select the Power Timer check box.
