Installing StateUPS

To start, configure the StateUPS auxiliary utility.

1. Create a folder on disk, such as C:\EVUPS. To this same location, copy the file StateUPS.exe from the UPS folder in the installation kit.
2. Configure the file StateUPS.ini, which is also in the UPS folder of the installation kit:
   1. Address – address of the machine on which Agent of Control is running. The default value of this parameter is 127.0.0.1. If you install StateUPS on the same computer on which Agent of Control is installed, it is not necessary to change this parameter.
   2. Port – TCP port to which StateUPS sends messages from the UPS. The value of this parameter must match the corresponding setting of Agent of Control, TCP port (UPS) (see the section Configuring a port for incoming UPS messages).
3. After the file StateUPS.ini is configured, it must be copied to the system folder of the operating system (OS). For example, if Windows is installed in the folder C:\WINNT, the file StateUPS.ini must be copied to the folder C:\WINNT\System32\.
4. Then install the software from the UPS vendor. Before starting installation, make sure that the interface cable is connected to the UPS.
   1. To start the installation process, start the executable file pc521.exe in the installation folder UPS\PowerChutePlus. A window opens to inform of the start of installation.

   7. The search process begins.
