rb600 power or voltage monitor

Sun Mar 28, 2010 10:54 pm

How would you monitor if you lost power from a rb600?
I have a site running off 110v. the 110v goes to a battery back and then the rb600. I want to know when I lost power to the battery backup.
The battery backup has a usb plug so I cant use the serial adapter from the rb600.
Any ideas would be great.
Thank you,
Aaron

Run a cheap ethernet switch/hub off the non-battery-backed outlet on the UPS. Put a patch cable between the switch/hub and an unused ethernet port on your RB. Monitor the status of the ethernet port in the SNMP system of your choice. Power on = ethernet up, power off = ethernet down.
