REMOTE SHUTDOWN (OPTIONAL FEATURE)
The remote shutdown function is used to instruct the
Centric
to perform an orderly shutdown of a server or
other computer in the event of an ac power outage or after a low-battery condition on the
Centric
. This
function helps prevent data loss by ensuring that computer applications have been shut down in an orderly
way before the UPS's battery runs out. The computer to be shut down (the "target computer") must of
course have connectivity to the same computer network as the
Centric
.
The target computer must also have a Shutdown Agent installed on it. The Shutdown Agent is available as
a self-installing “setup.exe” file intended to be run on the target computer. The install file can be
downloaded from Gamatronic's website or supplied to you by your Gamatronic representative.
Upon selection of the remote shutdown option from the "Setup > Connectivity" menu, the remote shutdown
submenu is displayed. The menu options are:
•
Add new destination
.
•
Select destinations from list
.

A
DD NEW DESTINATION
Choose this option if the desired target computer does not appear in the destination list displayed by the
"Select destinations from list" option.
When this option is chosen, the "New shutdown destination" screen is displayed (see Figure 31). Upon
choosing this option, the user must indicate the network name of the target computer, and the delay interval
after which the computer will be shut down following an ac outage or a low-battery condition. The delay
interval following an ac outage is expressed in minutes; the interval following a low-battery condition is
expressed in seconds.
To create the new shutdown destination, after entering the destination name and changing any of the
default parameters if required, press the arrow in the upper left corner of the screen. Or, to abandon the
definition, press the "Connectivity" icon.
