You can use the standard UPS service of your operating system to execute an automatic shutdown when
power is lost. See §17.1 or §17.2, depending on your operating system. Use the supplied Network cable to
connect the PC I/F connector on the UPS to the serial connector on the computer.
Set the interface setting to “Standalone” to use the standard OS UPS service.
For details on the setting procedure, see §3.4 “Setting PC Interface” in the
User Settings Guide

Specifies the number of the COM port where you connected the UPS and the Network
cable.
B
Power failure signal
Specifies that a warning message should be displayed according to the settings in the
“UPS Service” section.
C
Low battery signal
Specifies that the OS shutdown should begin on reception of a UPS low battery signal.
When this check box is not checked, the shutdown begins on reception of a power failure
signal, according to the settings in the “UPS Characteristics” section.
D
Remote UPS Shutdown
When this check box is checked, the UPS shuts down 2 minutes after commencement of
the OS shutdown. A Registry setting change is required to change the shutdown time.
E
Execute Command File
Check this check box and enter a command file name if you want to execute a command
file before starting the shutdown. Only commands which finish executing within 30
seconds can be entered here.

initial warning message
Specifies the time between a power failure and the initial warning message.
No warning message appears if power is restored within the specified time.
G

messages
Specifies the interval between warning messages.
H
Expected Battery Life
This is enabled when “Low battery signal” is disabled.
I
Battery recharge time per
minute of run time
This is enabled when “Low battery signal” is disabled. The recharge time is calculated as a
sum from the time that the UPS service starts. Battery operation starts when power is
interrupted, and the OS shutdown begins when the remaining backup time reaches 2
minutes.

Click “Yes” in the message that appears when you click “OK”.
This completes the settings.
With these settings, a shutdown will begin when the
remaining battery power becomes low.
If you want the shutdown to begin immediately after
the power interruption, clear the check from “Low
battery signal” and set “Expected Battery Life” to 2
minutes (the minimum value).
