Title: Dataprobe iBootBar
Post by: Matt on September 19, 2011, 10:17:38 PM
Avation were kind enough to provide me with one of these cool IP/rs232 controllable rack mount power switchers, so a driver is now underway.

Basic functionality is done.  You can switch an output on/off.
Feedback for the 8 outlets including name and state is done.

I'm sure i'll add more shortly.

Did a bit of a rewrite of this over the weekend.  I wasn't happy with connecting via a CLI telnet session.  Too easy to make a parsing error.

I noticed the iBootBar supports SNMP, so I wrote a parser.  The upshot of this is I can probably now talk to any other devices that use SNMP!

Ok, so writing an SNMP parser is a lot more work than i first thought...
