3.5. Advanced Shutdown Settings
3.5.1. "Perform Shutdown when communication with UPS is lost." – Checking this
box will cause the Application to trigger the Shutdown Procedure when the
communication with UPS is lost for more than 60 seconds.
3.5.2. "Perform Shutdown when UPS Over Temp." – Checking this box will cause
the Application to trigger the Shutdown Procedure when the UPS reports an
Over Temp failure (unless the UPS is in Battle Mode).
Note:
Unless the UPS is in a Battle Mode, an Over Temp failure will cause the UPS to shut
down automatically after a three (3) minutes delay (even if the” Perform Shutdown
when UPS Over Temp” is not checked. If the "Windows Shutdown Delay" that you
entered, plus the actual time it takes your PC to shutdown is longer than 3 minutes,
you may lose power prematurely upon Over Temp failure. If an orderly shutdown in
case of an Over Temp failure is mandatory, reduce the "Windows Shutdown Delay",
or if this is not possible, set the UPS to Battle Mode (see the UPS User Manual
"M359_SNMP_UM"). Warning!!! Disabling the Over Temp protection of the UPS
by a Battle Mode command, may result (in case of an Over Temp failure) in an
irrecoverable damage to the UPS.
3.5.3. If the “When detecting a Shutdown Command from Another PC" option is
checked, it allows the user to specify what action the Application should
take if it detects that the UPS has received a Delayed Shutdown Command
from some other source (typically another PC fed from the same UPS). The
Application can be configured to "Abort the UPS Shutdown" or to "Start
Shutdown Procedure" (of this station).
Note :
If you chose to "Abort the UPS Shutdown" make sure that the User Name you have
provided has a "Write Permission" . If it has a "Read Only" permission, it won't be
able to abort the UPS shutdown – and the UPS may shutdown before the
Application has managed to safely shutdown your computer.
