Hi,

I am not familiar with the device your asking about, and a quick Google
search showed a hand full of different things, so I'll offer some
general suggestions.

I would first check what services you may be able to see via snmp for
your device. Is snmp enabled / configurable? Why don't you do a snmpwalk
against the device and see what things are available. You can then just
use the check_snmp plugin to check those.

Does this device support traps? You can use your nagios server as a trap
server and generate alerts on that.

And if you can get a ssh session to this device, you can do your checks
over ssh. If you know how to check a service on the command line,
writing a check script that nagios can use isn't too hard.

Are any of these available options?
