What do you mean by multiple 7930s...do you mean daisy-chained together? 
Like a Master Switch Plus APC switch? I cn find no info on the site for 
ganging these switches.

There are 24 outlets in this beast, though.

If you have multiple apc 7930s, you could just set up each one with its 
own address, and make each one a fencedevice. Granted, you can't really 
shut down all (or a combo of) outlets on all switches with one command - 
but is that really what you need to do?

Are you trying to, say, turn off outlet 2 and outlet 4 on one switch at 
the same time? This can be done either by outlet grouping using the apc 
interface, or by using two <device> entries within one <method> block in 
the conf file...in fact, s-c-cluster will detect this condition and make 
certain that they are both off before turning either one back on.

Are you trying to turn off outlet 2 on ap 7931 - switch1, at the same 
time as outlet 2 on ap 7930 - switch2? The only way to do this is to set 
them up in the same method block as described above.

Is this helping? I am sorry if I am missing your point...:/
