Schneider Electric AP9635 manual PowerChute Network Shutdown configuration parameters

PowerChute Network Shutdown configuration parameters

Parameter	Description
Maximum Required	Displays the delay required to ensure that each PowerChute client has enough time
Delay	to shut down safely when the UPS or the PowerChute client initiates a graceful
	shutdown.
	When Force Negotiation is selected, the Network Management Card polls each
	server listed as a PowerChute Network Shutdown client for information on the time
	it needs for a graceful shutdown. This delay is recalculated whenever the
	management interface of the UPS turns on or is reset. (This option is not available
	for the Galaxy 300 or Galaxy 7000 UPS devices.)
	Maximum Required Delay is the longest shutdown delay needed by any server on
	the list, plus two additional minutes to allow for unforeseen circumstances. The
	negotiation can take up to 10 minutes.
	If you do not select Force Negotiation, two minutes is used by default as the
	shutdown delay for all clients.
On-Battery Shutdown	After the PowerChute Network Shutdown clients shut down their computer
Behavior	systems, this parameter determines whether the UPS turns on automatically or must
	be turned on manually when input power is restored.
	Note: This option is not available on the MGE Galaxy 300 or MGE Galaxy 7000
	UPS.
Authentication Phrase	The case-sensitive phrase of 15 to 32 ASCII characters to be used during MD5
	authentication for PowerChute communication. The default Administrator setting is
	admin user phrase.

Note: By default, the PowerChute clients initiate a graceful shutdown when the UPS has 120 seconds of runtime remaining. If the servers need additional time to shut down safely, configure the Low battery alarm threshold setting at the user interface display of the Symmetra PX 250 or Symmetra PX 500 UPS. From the UPS System screen on the user interface display, select User Configuration, then Alarm Settings. The valid range for the Low battery alarm threshold is 0 (no shutdown will occur) to 3600 seconds (1 hour).

For MGE Galaxy models, you must use the UPS Tuner to set the shutdown time.
