With the UPS monitoring software, the following functions can be used.
Auto shutdown
The computer can be shut down automatically when a problem occurs
with the power supply.
UPS monitoring (operating status)
The operating status of the UPS can be monitored (in Commercial Power
Mode/Battery Mode).
UPS monitoring (data)
Monitoring can be performed for input voltage value, connection capacity,
battery capacity, etc.
Pop-up notification
When a problem such as a power failure occurs, a pop-up window that
shows the details of the problem can be displayed.
Shutdown when OS is inactive
Shutdown can be performed when the computer is in an inactive state.
The operating status is retained at shutdown in inactive
state, so operation details are not lost.
Auto file save
Files such as open Word and Excel documents are automatically saved
at shutdown.
Schedule operation
Schedule settings can be made for UPS stop/start.
UPS setting change
UPS settings (beep ON/OFF, etc.) can be changed. Items that can be set
vary according to the UPS.
External command execution
By executing commands at shutdown, items such as application
programs can be launched
Event log save
Information of events that occur on the UPS (power supply problems,
setting changes, occurrences of failure, etc.) are saved
as a log.
Datalog save
Data of input/output voltage value, connection capacity, etc. are
periodically saved as a log (the save frequency can be set).
Coordinated shutdown
When a problem occurs with the power supply, multiple computers
connected to the UPS can coordinate to perform auto
shutdown.
Redundant power supply support
Two or more UPS can be connected to computers equipped with
redundant power supply. Shutdown is not performed when a power
supply problem affects only one of the units. Shutdown is performed only
when a power supply problem occurs with both UPS, so the system’s
operating rate is improved.
Remote UPS management
The UPS can be managed remotely from a computer on the network.
Mail send
When a problem such as a power failure occurs, a notification email
describing the problem can be sent to the system administrator.
Telnet connection
Settings such as shutdown parameters can be made via the Telnet
connection.
SYSLOG support
UPS management information can be recorded in SYSLOG.
