Configuring PowerChute plus utility

Note.

The PowerChute utility configuring process is given in this document as an example. Alternative software can have different settings.

Alternative software must allow binding certain reactions with UPS events.

To configure PowerChute plus do the following:

Start configuration of PowerChute plus, by selecting Start>Programs>PowerChute plus>PowerChute plus.
Select the menu item Configuration>Event Actions.... In the dialog box that appears, in which events are listed on the left, you can set different reactions for event types, on the right side of the window.
You are advised to not disable the Notify Users option for all events; disable it only if you do not want to send messages on the entire domain on which the computer is located.

A more complete list of events is given in the table.
