Introduction

Dellt UPS Management Software supports either an individual computer or network‐connected

computers [including both local area networks (LANs) and the Internet].

The software monitors the UPS and safeguards computer systems from uncontrolled shutdowns due to

power failure. With the Dell UPS Management Software, you can monitor and configure the UPS on

any computer within the same LAN. One UPS can provide multiple computers in a network with

simultaneous power management, including system shutdown, saving application data, and shutdown of

the UPS when utility power fails.

Dell UPS Management Software Components

Dell UPS Management Software has three components:

S The Agent is the core component of the Dell UPS Management Software and runs in the

background as a system service. It communicates with the UPS, logs events, notifies users of

events, arranges actions according to the user's specifications, and initiates shutdown when

necessary. The Agent can be managed by the Monitor.

S The Monitor is the user interface application of the Dell UPS Management Software. Relying on the

Agent, it gathers real‐time UPS information, UPS status, and server information, and allows the

user to tailor the UPS working parameters. The Monitor can run on any computer on the LAN or

on a standalone computer.

S The Tray Icon is the management tool of the Dell UPS Management Software, and it appears in the

status area of the system task bar. The Tray Icon is available only for the Microsoft

Windows

platform.

The Tray Icon uses two different icons to display the current Agent status (see Table 1):
