Hi, i have a apc switched rack pdu lying around witch i am trying to control with openremote.
It has 8 switchable power outlets and has its own basic web interface to control them.
The web interface uses html post to send the commands (one page to select wich oultets and what to do with them and one to confirm)
It also had ssh acces and with console u have to go tru a sequence of menus to control the outlets (mostly while typing numbers)
I have tried both the html command option (but saw no option for post parameters) as the telnet command option (by giving the login and number sequence with enters into notepad and copy pasting it to the telenet command field) What would be the easiest way to make this work ? And if it is possible are there some examples i might follow ?
Regards

If somebody wants to have a go at it, we'll be glad to provide support through the forums.

For now it has the ip, port, oid etc hardcoded and no security in it but i am going to try and make it way more generic.
I based my snmp module on the telnet module and using snmp4j libraries. (distributed under apache 2.0 licence i hope that's ok ?)
Most stuff was well explained on the Openremote Documentation pages but maybe you can add some stuff about external libraries. That's where i had some trouble with (might be because im a .net dev and have no java building experience).
I didn't know where to put the snmp4j lib in the controller so i added it to the lib folder in the controller dir and added
<path id = "compile.path.id">
<fileset dir = "${lib.dir}/snmp4j"/>
to the build.xml file. I thought building the built war file would include it somehow but that was not the case so i had to add the snmp4j jar to Runtime\apache-tomcat-6.0.18\webapps\controller\WEB-INF\lib manually.
(Maybe my whole approach is not right and its way simpler in another way)

For the runtime the jar also needs to be copied to WEB-INF/lib as you already figured out correctly.
This is done in the ant build.xml in the "init" target. There is a command
