To monitor other UPSs, you have to have one connected to your machine. Stupid trick, yes, but that's how it works... :| -tosi Þann laugardagur 23 júní 2001 17:49 skrifaðir þú:

Welp, so far so good.....but what I was wanting was to monitor the UPS units that are already on the network.....like we do with the W2K machines...and the install won't let me do anything other than install the Powerchute as if I want to monitor a UPS that's connected to *that* machine.

But I'll keep playing with it.

I tried an earlier version but they only had the Red Hat version and gave up trying to install it.

Well AFAIK you should be able to communicate via snmp. MGE has the software on their site for both lan and single -- Togan Muftuoglu

That only works if you have purchased the optional SNMP module. That of course goes only for the APCs others may vary. Also, if you have 1K4 or 2K2 APC UPSs, and want serial communication to _two_ hosts, or thermomonitor, then SNMP is not an option...
