Can you make them "dialup" and then configure an alert for a "recover"
message? Then change them to normal?

The problem I've got is that we configure the access points here, then
ship them to the remote sites for install. They're down until the guys
at the remote site get around to unpacking them, renting a scissor lift,
and installing them up in the rafters. Once they're plugged in, they're
live and a connectivity failure is a problem. I need to see them go
green when they get plugged in and change the config so we'll be
notified on an outage.
And it looks like my idea of the NK page won't work, either. Back to the
drawing board.

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?
