System Requirements

Windows®NT, 2000/XP

Installation

• Connect communication cable between the communication port on the computer and the communication

port on the UPS system.

• One of the features of the Tripp Lite WatchDog system is to perform a hard reboot of the UPS when a

computer system becomes unresponsive. To avoid a hard reboot during testing, Tripp Lite recommends that

you plug the computer system directly into a surge-protected AC source other than the UPS system’s battery

backed-up outlets. To verify that the UPS reboots, we recommend using a desk lamp plugged into one of the

battery backed-up outlets.

• Start up the computer system.

• Install Tripp Lite’s PowerAlert UPS monitoring software.

• After accepting the license agreement it will be necessary to select a setup type. The two choices are

Home/Small Office or Office/Network. Select Office/Network if computer system has TCP/IPinstalled and

configured or select Home/Small Office if TCP/IPis not installed.

• Select typical installation.

• The installation will attempt to auto-discover the UPS attached to the system. If it is unable to determine the

UPS attached to the computer system, select the UPS model from the model list.

• At the end of the installation, click the box to start PowerAlert.

• A light bulb icon should appear in the system tray indicating that PowerAlert has started monitoring the UPS.

• Go back to the PowerAlert CD installation menu and select the option to install the Tripp Lite WatchDog

Software.

• The WatchDog Software installation will present a license agreement which you will need to accept, and

then it will ask to select installation type. Select typical.

• The WatchDog Software gets installed into the PowerAlert folder.

• The Tripp Lite WatchDog system is only to be used with one computer system communicating to a UPS.

Do not attempt to connect multiple computer systems running the PowerAlert Software when utilizing the

WatchDog feature.
