POE UPS

Power over Ethernet Injector

IP Power 9200 Delux controller. hosts the webpage that controls the other 2 units

UPS has a switched port that turns off when the power goes out. The wall wart goes to the IP Delux 9201 Input and shows on a webpage as on or off.

Switch for power cycling POE. Really the better answer would be for a bullet proof AP that doesn't lock up, but I am not living in that perfect world.

Questionable Content. My fav web comic.

Tripplite UPS

Our remote wireless site keep being unplugged or having the circuit trip from some combination of cleaning devices. I took a spare UPS and asked if we could get a $200 SNMP card for it so we would know when the power was off. Boss asked me if we could do it for less.

My solution: $70 IP Power 9200 delux. The IP Delux has 4 voltage input sensors, 4 current sensors and 8 web controlled switches. There is a 5v wall wart plugged into the switched part of the UPS running to a input. When the power goes out the ups kicks in running the POE and the wall wart turns off pin 1 on the IP Delux which sends me an email.

The added bonus is that the POE is now switched so if a AP on one wireless segment locks up I can go in one of the others and power cycle the POE remotely. IP Delux even hosts WAP so I could do it from the cheapest of cell phone web browsers.

Not to denounce the cool-factor of your solution, but where is it that all this engineering effort justifies saving $130? I've not yet met a boss who would blink at a $200 expense for solving an uptime problem.
