Looking at this UPS. http://www.tripplite.com/en/products/model.cfm?txtModelID=3007 It is small enough to fit in our standard outdoor enclosures. It also supports being monitored by SNMP. Problem is it does not have an external battery connector. Has anyone had any luck adding external batteri

Do you apply it only in special cases or would you do it as standard procedure on CPEs? It seems like something that when you need it it's too late to put it in. Greg On Oct 7, 2011, at 4:34 PM, Kristian Hoffmann wrote: > On 10/07/2011 12:59 PM, Greg Ihnen wrote: >> Is that enough to keep a bad

That might work, but again this evening the CPEs won't stay up long enough to log in and do anything. I did climb up to the antenna on the worst offender from last night. It is shooting right through a very pretty yellow and orange tree. October is a pain for 900 around here. My theory is the
