Re: [WISPA] UPS With SNMP Support
That unit looks to be a 48v based system. I don't have the specific connectors for it. The model we use is http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/model.cfm?txtSeriesID=934txtModelID=3180 We don't get Tripplite snmp cards as they seem to have a high failure rate and the packetflux can give us the same. For batteries, I guess you could use sealed type, but we have just been using the Deepcycle from the local hardware store. for the connector, I don't remember the company off hand but can look it up Scott Piehn - Original Message - From: Matt lm7...@gmail.com To: WISPA General List wireless@wispa.org Sent: Saturday, September 17, 2011 8:21 PM Subject: Re: [WISPA] UPS With SNMP Support I know this is going to be different from most people, but we use Tripplite.

Use a chart on your monitoring software to give you percentage of battery and alerting on the AC side.

Re: [WISPA] UPS With SNMP Support
We have been using the Tripplite 1500XL model for about 6-8 months now and have been happy with them. UPS reports the battery voltage is 54v. The double conversion does draw more power during normal operation but also allows it to continue to power loads even when AC input power is as low as about 60v AC or so without actually switching to battery draw. Only issue has been portable generator power they do not like. Our old APC models we could change the sensitivity to make them work. I have not found an option in the tripplite's.
