Another odd-ball question -- can I get alerts when a dial-up device connects?

Use the DOWNTIME tag for this. This preventes the alert from being generated but you still trend the conn access.

We have a number of manufacturing and warehouse sites that do bar-code
scanning with rf 'guns'. We've been through a cycle of equipment
upgrades and swapouts, and I now have about a dozen new rf access points
configured in hobbit that are still in the box and not hooked up.

I've currently configured them as 'dialup', so we don't get pestered by
alerts. But I'd like to know when they actually get installed, so I can
drop the 'dialup' tag. Is there a way to do it?

We don't currently use the 'NK' pages -- I'm tempted to put these
devices, with the 'conn' test, on the NK page and just check it from
time to time. Is there a better way?

TIA
