I have a cage in the MFS Co-Lo and insisted on having a separate UPS from the main. While I never lost power today, my FDDI did go down. This gets me thinking about the backup generator that is supposed to be online. Why didn't the generator kick-in before the UPS went down? Perhaps the better question is if they have a functioning generator ... Anyone from MFS listening? -ps At 09:15 AM 7/11/97 -0700, you wrote:

Or, lets say, an automatic network monitor (ALA SNMP) that tells them when UPS power is about to run down (before the lights go out) so they can roll their generator into place. -Deepak., On Fri, 11 Jul 1997, Philip Steffora wrote:

Or, more likely, assuming that the story about a contractor popping an upstream distribution breaker was correct, that the generator and transfer switch were upstream from _that_ breaker (which would make it quite unlikely that power would flow). ---Rob
Yes, there's a generator. Unfortunately, it doesn't kick in when someone trips or turns off the main breaker. (This is hearsay; I'm actually out of the office and am getting my info second-hand.) Steve On Fri, 11 Jul 1997, Philip Steffora wrote:
