POWERSOFT PERSONAL INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION
Windows
Before installing PowerSoft:
•
uninstall any previous version of PowerSoft and other monitoring software (if
the user is exchanging a UPS for the same computer);
•
do not connect the USB cable, if the UPS is to communicate with the
computer using USB. The installer application will require a USB connection
when needed.
To install PowerSoft with Windows (a list of operating systems verified for
compatibility with the software is available at www.ever.eu), simply launch the
software installer and proceed in line with the displayed instructions. When installing,
choose the UPS model that is connected to the computer running the software. That
setting can also be changed later when the software is installed.
In case of USB communication, after the successful installation of PowerSoft
Personal, the installer application will request a USB cable to be plugged in. The
operating system will notify about discovering a new device, and will recommend
drivers. On the screen, select driver installation from a specific location, and on the
next screen select the PowerSoft installation folder (usually C:\Program
Files\PowerSoft). Next, the operating system will start searching and installing the
appropriate drivers.
In case of Windows Vista, the system does not start the automatic driver installation
from the selected disc. Once the USB cable is connected to the computer, in the start
menu open the control panel and select system properties. On the displayed list of
devices, find the USB hub branch (usually exploded), and select the UPS. In the
device properties (right-click the icon), update the device driver by proceeding in line
with the displayed instructions. Select the PowerSoft installation folder as the location
of the driver (usually C:\Program Files\PowerSoft).
To uninstall PowerSoft, select the PowerSoft uninstall icon in the start menu. The
software can also be uninstalled from “Add/remove programs”, in the control panel.
Linux/Unix
The binary version for Linux/Unix is provided in the following forms: CentOS, RedHat,
Suse Linux, and Fedora Core.
For systems: CentOS, RedHat, Suse Linux, and Fedora Core, the software is
supplied as an RPM package. The software can be installed using any package
manager in the operating system. If using the command line, the software is installed
by typing:
rpm –ivh powersoftpersonal-x.x.x.i386.rpm
The user must have administrator privileges (root) to install and use the software.
Once installed, the application is in /usr/local/powersoft.
To uninstall, type in the command line:
rpm –ev powersoftpersonal-x.x.x
