The LinkStation is now configured to work with the UPS.
Note:
If the LinkStation shuts down automatically due to a power outage, make sure that the power issue
is resolved before turning it back on. If the LinkStation is turned back on while it’s still running on
the UPS battery, the UPS will not shut it down again, even if the battery runs low.
