Does the AP7911B PDU not have the ability to track Total Power kVA like the AP8941?

Someone suggested that I needed to update the DCE to 7.6, which would give me the most current DDFs.  I have updated the DCE to 7.6 and also updated the PDU firmware and I still don't see the kVA sensor.

Hi Krista,

I checked an AP7911B via SNMP using the following OID:

hardware.rPDU2.rPDU2Phase.rPDU2PhaseStatusTable.rPDU2PhaseStatusEntry.rPDU2PhaseStatusVoltage

The return was a -1. This indicates that voltage is not supported by this device. Without voltage, you can not get wattage. The DDF can not calculate it outside of the device as it will do in some instances. The device does support current, but not wattage or voltage. 

rPDU2PhaseStatusPower  also reports a -1 

It simply appears that this device does not support a watt or KW sensor.

Thanks,

Steve
