As a a historical note, before APC had there SNMP card for their UPS to give us line status (utility of no utility power), we sed a bunch of print servers left over from a local college which had their parallel port blown on them. We just plugged them in to the utility side, not the UPS, gave em an IP address, and pinged 'em with WhatsUp. Works great. At 05:28 PM 12/21/00 -0500, David Lesher wrote:
How about an APC UPS? If they have a UPS, you add a card to it. You then don't just ping, but see realtime data from there. ISTM there may be a temp/contact monitor I've heard of.
