Prerequisites

These are Perl scripts and assume you have Perl installed. If not, that will be your first step. Perl is available for virtually every operating system.

You may need to install additional Perl libraries before using the scripts.

These prerequisites vary depending which version of the library you wish to use:

MultiCast: "IO::Socket::Multicast" and "IO::Select" Perl modules.

Unicast: "Socket" which should be already included with your Perl.

SNMP: "NET::SNMP" Perl module.

Hybrid: "Socket" and "NET::SNMP"

In addition, for SNMP, you will need to ensure that the SNMP service is enabled on your ReadyNAS unit. This can be done in FrontView under Alerts/SNMP. Be sure the IP address of the machine running the script is in the allow list and that the SNMP Community matches. (The default community is "public".)
