5.3Shutdown Configuration

Shutdown Configuration page

From this screen, you can define the following parameters:

ωUse central configuration provided by Management Card/Proxy:

With this function, all the Network Shutdown Modules will obtain their configuration from the card (or proxy).

In multi-UPS context, you can select the IP of the card/proxy from which you obtain the configuration If you unselect this option, you can modify for your computer the following parameters:

ωShutdown duration:

This is the time in seconds required by the system to go through its shutdown procedure. The Network Shutdown Modules transmit their own shutdown duration to the Card/proxy.

The role of this parameter is illustrated by the example of shutdown sequence.

> Possible values

:

0 to 9999

> Default value

:

120

> Unit

:

Second

It is on the basis of these values (shutdown duration of all the systems) that the Card/proxy sends the delayed shutdown order to the UPS.

ωShutdown timer (Shutdown when timer reaches)

After AC power failure before initiating the system shutdown procedure, this is the time in seconds that the system waits.

> Possible values

:

0 to 999999

> Default value

:

this criterion for system shutdown is not enabled by default

> Unit

:

Second

This value must be selected to provide users with enough time to close their applications and disconnect, but within the battery backup time provided by the UPS.

See the UPS manual for information on the backup time.

If another criterion occurs before the end of the shutdown timer, the shutdown procedure is immediately run.

The role of this parameter is illustrated by the example of shutdown sequence.

Remark:

If the shutdown timer on a client is the criterion that trips the shutdown procedure, automatic restart of
