RACKTIVITY DC2
The Racktivity DC2 meter connector is used to monitor and control a RACKTIVITY DC2 METER device.
About
This connector displays the information of the device on different pages, grouping parameters in different categories.
The connector uses SNMP to retrieve and update the data of the device. The Racktivity DC2 meter has the ability to send out SNMP traps when certain events occur in the sensor. Traps will result in instant updates in the corresponding DataMiner element.
