Hi, I'm looking into monitoring of some "mission critical" communications/network equipment. Some of the equipment doesn't have a network interface, like a PBX or some brands of UPS for instance. Focusing on PBX's, does anyone have experience in methods to remotely monitor this type of equipment, using snmp or some other method. I recall hearing about using the dry contact inteface cards from APC to do something similar. A question that comes to mind is whether, using APC's triple expansion chassis, can I have an Environment Monitoring Card and an SNMP card both running and configured so a break on the contacts on the Env. card will trigger an snmp trap from the snmp card? War stories about similar projects would be appreciated.
