Loss of assocaition (unable to reach gateway ip address on the ap) = reboot it's a simple command in the units firmware shesh lol come on sb :) As for tom answering all the questions these days .. what can I say hes DA MAN! But hes never on MSN HINT HINT lol As for the master switches I have a few of them cause we had some problems on our axxelera products with units freezing and well it worked great.. until the link from that repeater back to the office went down and we realized SH*T we cant get to it to reboot the port! Ok this hasn't happened in 2 months but still if its not automated its not worth it isnt perfect) now for the nexus I hope the unreachable gateway after 30 secs or 60 secs will be able to reboot the unit (watchdogs is what my atm's call it lol)

But don't you have that on your units right now? Isn't
that what the reset
tab is?
I mean.. if it's SNMP controlled power reboot on the unit, what
happens when
the unit locks up like they are currently
doing? Put a simple watchdog
timer on the
radio. A simple 555 IC will do. Have the "system" reset the
timer every couple of min. If the timer misses two
reset's, the timer cuts
power to the radio, and then
reapplies power..

Which features? Here is a check list of requested

Out-of-band control (dial-in) -> ?
Hartbeat watchdog (IE. Loss of ping = reset) -> ?
Web based control -> YES
UPS ->
NO (guessing)

Check out APC, I will search for the exact parts to find what
you are
looking for. Expect about $600-1000
though

Subject: [smartBridges] Remote
Power Rebooters
Coincidentally, I have spent over 20 hours out of the past 28
hours
researching remote power rebooters. I MUST
have them!
Let me tell you what I would LOVE to have:
An all-inclusive unit that contains 4-8 outlets (preferably powered
by
one power cord). Before I go further, take a
look at these to get an
idea of what I am looking
for:
http://www.baytech.net/cgi-private/product?catagory=DS-RPC+SERIES
That unit is almost there.
Then there is this one:
http://www.baytech.net/cgi-private/product?product=RPC3-15
Okay...continuing on with MY needs. I would LOVE to have a
power
control unit that has the ability to assign a PING
address to each
outlet. The power control unit
would PING the associated IP at
specified
intervals. When the unit becomes unresponsive, it reboots.
Simple as that. Some of these RPC (remote power
controllers) are
close...but don't quite cut it.
On top of this AUTO reboot ability
(with PING), I want
both LAN (web) interface and dial-in interface (in
case
the LAN side was down). I don't think I am asking for too
much...considering all of these products have the ability...just not
all
in one box. I don't think?!??
So...I just keep trudging through the jungle we call the
Internet. Here
are some more runner-UPS (no pun
attended).
http://www.usacommunications.com/supp/tb-450.html
http://www.cpscom.com/reboot.htm
http://www.dataprobe.com/share/4pk415.html
http://www.remotepowerswitch.com/ <-- very cheap
I need these in place and working by Wednesday evening.
I also have some decent software that will do the IP pings and
when
something is down will execute an .exe or .bat or
even initiate a serial
communications (rs-232). http://www.paessler.com/ipcheck/features
So...now that it seems everyone is in the "giving mood"...maybe
we could
all put our minds to this and find an "all
inclusive" solution. BTW...I
have a close
acquaintance (owner of one of the above companies) who is
willing to build the "all inclusive" device if one, there is no
such
device, and two, we will buy it.
What do you all think.

Also check out the APC smartUPS line. You can put a IP interface
on them
and
controll each outlet
individualy as well as add enviornmental onitoring
to
it. ~$600 will give you enviornmental
monitoring, web based management
and
monitoring, 4 ports and fair amount of reserve power and you can
schedule
events as well as respond to
internal and external triggers.

That looks like a neat device, never seen anything like
that. It might
help
out
until we can figure out why the APPOs keep losing their Ethernet
port.
But I would have to have one on
each APPO, so that's 4 of them at $275
each,
just to be able to reboot equipment that won't stay up. I
do appreciate
the
information,
though, I am sure it will be very useful and might be a
temporary way of controlling these things.
Thanks,
Gloria
