Yes. Every question that has been raised on this operational list
in this topic has been well covered already on Whirlpool in the
threads I linked above.

To save you busy people reading the 600 posts on the issue:

* From what we can tell the power monitoring features of the
CybrePower [1] units, used in TAS, were not connected to the NEC
ONTs, so can't be monitored.
<br>
* The CybrePower units don't monitor battery condition to any sort
of acceptable level, only total failure and low power(ish - as we
all know what that means).
<br>
* The CybrePower units used in TAS will not be the end solution
anyway.</blockquote>

Precisely - these were the Tasmanian units - supplied by a different
vendor to the mainland units.<br>

"The battery backup unit will contain the following LED indicators
showing battery status:<br>
<ul>
<li>Mains Power OK</li>
<li>Battery Status (OK, needs replacing, failed).</li>
<li>Running on battery backup (lit when mains power fails).</li>
<li>A series of beeps are also provided to indicate the above
conditions.</li>
</ul>
<b>NBN Co’s remote monitoring service will enable Access Seekers
delivering services through a UNI-V to identify when a NTU is not
being supplied with power."<br>
<br>
</b>An RSP using the PSTN port should receive a network alarm from
NBN Co's OSS when the NTU loses power. Yet to see if the OSS can
send through battery health information *before* it loses power.<br>
