Looking at that picture I would think it has one. |

Does it have any lights at all? I can't tell from the pic - Or is the green light just off all the time?
If there are no LEDs on the enclosure, that's good news, you can be sure they are monitoring the battery status over the 'net. I used to monitor remote batteries on computer systems using APC powerchute software. Getting alerts on your desktop or in your email is a lot easier than relying on visual monitoring. How are you supposed to know if a battery can't hold a charge when the alert light is blinking 3 miles away from the office?
On the other hand, if there are LEDs on the outside - they might be using ONLY lights to indicate an error condition, maybe Charter didn't want to spend the extra $ for a network interface. |
