We were using RPC14s and the RPC22s. Both worked well. The RPC14s were a bit odd to setup though. For me, It would make a bit more sense to use the RPC14s and connect them up to the serial access server (DS series modules) and then do snmp connections to the serial connections to the power strip. It works well, but is awful slow. The price does seem a bit high from when I actully shopped around for baytech gear a little over a year ago. http://www.baytech.net/products/prodlist.php?show=RPC14 http://www.baytech.net/products/showprod.php?prod=DS3IPS I'm going try and remember more on how we did it. I think I have module numbers and snmp string information someplace. -Justin On Tue, 9 Aug 2005, Mike Leber wrote: On Sun, 7 Aug 2005, Justin Kreger wrote:At the now defunct redundant.com we used baytech strips with the ds-3 (not the circuit) modules to snmp enable the strips. We were able to control each port, and monitor load on each port. http://www.baytech.net/I had moderate success with this suggestion. Their technical support said the only product they had that does this is the 4 outlet RPC5 or RPC6 (ethernet version vs serial version). Unfortunately, it costs $644 each (lowest price I've found so far) and accomplishes it's individual monitoring by replicating power in and power out plus an ethernet port 4 times. Still, if it's the only one out there I guess they win (although at $150 per outlet, ouch, that goes over my $4000 budget for this). http://www.baytech.net/products/prodlist.php?show=RPC5 Mike.-Justin On Sun, 7 Aug 2005, Mike Leber wrote:There have been suggestions of good SNMP monitorable power strips here before, however I'm looking for a power strip with individually monitorable outlet current (via SNMP). I've searched google for quite a while and can't seem to separate out such a beast from all the remote power management strips that just monitor aggregate usage. I have an application where I need to record the variation in power consumption for individual devices over time. I need to monitor about 30 devices in 4 cabinets (8 devices per cabinet or so) in and have a budget of $4000. I'd like to be able to see current in milliamps or 10 milliamp increments. I'm looking for an off the shelf device. If anybody can help me I'd certainly appreciate it. +----------------- H U R R I C A N E - E L E C T R I C -----------------+ | Mike Leber Direct Internet Connections Voice 510 580 4100 | | Hurricane Electric Web Hosting Colocation Fax 510 580 4151 | | [email protected] http://www.he.net | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------++----------------- H U R R I C A N E - E L E C T R I C -----------------+ | Mike Leber Direct Internet Connections Voice 510 580 4100 | | Hurricane Electric Web Hosting Colocation Fax 510 580 4151 | | [email protected] http://www.he.net | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------+
