In cacti, we have one template for the SiteMonitor, and all the subordinate devices are included in that template. So one IP per SiteMonitor is perfect.

You can't set multiple IPs. NAT on a router in between your management and the devices may have a similar effect.

I'm not sure how people are monitoring in powercode. Are you saying you can't have multiple probes destined toward the same IP address? How do they handle graphing say a 24 port switch with only 3-4 ports in use?

If you have to create a 'probe' for each monitored device which lists everything to be monitored, I think you're stuck with the idea of a different type for each arrangement you have.

    we are testing these currently for montoing/managing APC UPS and
    providing cambium sync

    We use powercode

    First, is there a way to set multiple IP addresses on a
    sitemonitor base unit? If that were possible it would resolve the
    issue

    Second, powercode monitoring is limited in its configuration, we
    cant create our own real time tools and the long term probe
    graphing requires a separate probe for each graph, no
    categorization or packaging

    so if we put in a sitemonitor that has both the APC add on module
    as well ans the sync module, we dont have a clean way to create
    monitoring tools

    in this case to have versatility without having a bunch of unused
    probes on each device we would have to create 4 separate device
    types. Stand alone Site Monitor, Site Monitor with sync, site
    monitor with APC monitor, site monitor with both, and then if we
    have two sync modules that is another, etc.

    Has anyone found a successful way of monitoring these?  I really
    want to use them, I have a pile of them to use, but I need to
    monitor them in powercode
