Fibre and Load Shedding

Or, you provide backup power for the ONT and router and then hope that any active nodes outside the exchange also have back up power.

In essence, in the good old days and exchange had 10 to 14 hours of backup, but is no longer the case. Last I heard it could be as low as 30 minutes but probably is about 4 hours.
Now power backup on fibre becomes an end user problem as well.

I have the 1500va version. I believe it has 2 x 9ah batteries.

IIRC the 1100v version has 2x 7ah batteries.

You would think so. Only way to know is to test it. Find a way to keep your router on. A UPS should work. (just remove the stupid beeeep beeeep beeeep thingy)

If your software sucks check if NUT supports it:

My Eaton 1500v isnt there but it works.

Have a raspberry pi hooked up thats collecting data, and is set to turn the beeper off if it resets for whatever reason.
 
Thanks for the replies. I have a few other questions and rather than hi-jack this thread I have started a new one.
