4. Application Operation – Simple Shutdown Procedure
4.1. Starting the Application
The Application starts automatically when Windows starts.
4.2. During Normal Conditions
The Application constantly monitors the UPS status via the Ethernet connection and
a battery icon, in the notification area of the taskbar, shows the status of the UPS.
Pointing with the mouse on the icon (without clicking) will display a Popup message
with a short description of the current status. Double clicking on the icon will show
the Application Main window with a detailed description of the UPS status and the
program configuration. As long as the Main AC power to the UPS is OK and the
battery charge is above the "Low Charge Shutdown Threshold" the battery icon will
be solid Green.
4.3. When AC Input Power to the UPS Fails
When the Main AC power that feeds the UPS fails, the battery icon in the
notification area will change to Yellow and a message balloon will inform the user
about the event.
When (and if) the Main AC power recovers, the battery icon will change back to
green.
