Automated Setup
There are two methods to set up safe shutdown and rebooting: Automated, and Manual. This section discusses an automated setup. Manual setup, is discussed on page 50. Automated setup is made possible with the use of the Power Monitor utility supplied on the software CD that came with this package.
Note: Power Monitor only works with Windows systems.
Power Monitor watches the computer's power status via the UPS signal. If the UPS signals a power failure and a low battery condition, a dialog box pops up to inform you that the utility will perform a safe shutdown in a few seconds.
Installation
To install the Power Monitor, simply execute the self extracting setup program (PMonitorSetup.exe). A copy of PMonitor.exe is placed in the Windows Startup folder so that it executes each time the system is booted.
When monitoring is in effect, a monitoring icon in the form of lightning bolt
( | ) is placed in the Windows taskbar to indicate so. When monitoring is |
temporarily disabled, a canceled lightning bolt icon ( 
) is displayed.
You can switch between enabled and disabled by right clicking the icon and selecting Start Monitor or Stop Monitor from the pop up context menu.
You can exit the program by right clicking on the icon and selecting Exit from the pop up context menu.
