Re: [WhatsUp Forum] Contact Closures

Remote power boot box is what I used -- though SNMP was not used to control 
the box. I modified one of the ac ports on a western telematic box to 
provide ground / open and access the box using ssh. If you're unsure about 
dealing with such a box at a component level, hooking up an external relay 
to the AC port is certainly possible and relatively easy.

This is exactly what you want but....

You could look at remotely controlled power strips, then have an outlet 
drive a relay.
Of course if your intent is to turn on and off an AC powered device, this 
will do that directly.

I played with an APC AP9211, multiple outlets, individual control.
What I did was when got an alarm in WUG, I would run a batch file to turn 
on the outlet as an external screaming alarm to wake up the operations staff.
Unfortunately, there was no way to link an acknowledge selection in the 
WUG web page to run another batch program to turn off the alarm.

I still have the APC box awaiting for that day when IPswitch gives me a 
hook to call a batch program from the ASP page directly (or execute a 
notification from the asp page directly).

Anyone know of a product that will accept SNMP sets to open/close a contact?

Thanks in advance.
