Hello,
Our small-office (10-user) network is located in a 70's-vintage double-wide trailer. It has been remodeled and looks OK, but the power...SHEESH!!! I had a dedicated new 30-amp line run to my office where all the switches, WAP, cable modem and SonicWall all plug into a mid-line TrippLite UPS. Plugged into the same dedicated line (not the UPS!) is a 110V room A/C that's only used sparsely....but when it is, and the A/C compressor kicks on, and all the connections drop briefly and I get the cheerful message: "A Network Connection is unplugged".
Connectivity returns within seconds, but I don't like it. I tried plugging the A/C into another outlet, that solved the network problem, but blew a breaker. The A/C is new and clean.
I am looking for a true Online UPS, where the equipment is always running on the battery and wall power is the backup power source. I've found them for $600-$4000 and wondered if anyone in this forum knew of any bargain units that are worthy. Remember, they are just backing up an 8-port gigabit switch, a cable modem, a SonicWall and a WAP, that's it.
If I can't find a decent choice, I'll just go back to plugging the A/C into the separate, original outlet. Thanks as always.
Tony
