1. General
1.1. Scope
This manual is relevant only for M359 UPS of Rev E or higher with Ethernet (SNMP)
option.
1.2. Definitions
Application – UPS Auto Shutdown-x.x.x.exe (x.x.x is the revision)
UPS – the MPS M359 UPS that the Application will communicate with.
Shutdown Procedure- The actions that the Application will take when triggered.
1.3. Intended Application
The Application allows, in an event of a main-line power failure, a graceful and
coordinated shutdown of the PC and the M359 UPS that feeds it, using a secure
SMNPv3 protocol.
The Application constantly monitors the UPS status. When the UPS reports that it is
operating on battery power (Main AC power failure) and its battery has discharged
below a user’s specified level, the Application will trigger the Shutdown Procedure
that allows for a controlled shutdown of the PC and the UPS (and other- user’s
defined actions). The user may select what actions will be taken and the delay
between them. The Application allows the user to specify a few other failure
conditions (in addition to low battery) that will trigger the Shutdown Procedure.
1.4. Supported Operating Systems
The Application supports the following OS:
Windows XP (32 bit SP3)
Windows 7
Windows Server 2003
Windows Server 2008
