RE: [hobbit] Another odd-ball question -- can I get alerts when a dial-up device connects?

["Kauffman, Tom" <KauffmanT (at) nibco.com>]

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.
