It controls unattended shutdowns, scheduled shutdowns, and notifications for computers powered by the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) or the ), PDU (Power Distribution Unit), or the ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch). PowerPanel® Business Edition software consists of three different modules; Agent, Client and Center. The Agent monitors and configures the UPS through the USB or serial connection. It , logs the UPS status and power events, and generates action actions in response to events. The Client establishes communication with the Agent, UPS RMCARD and PDURMCARD, PDU or ATS and generates actions according to notifications from the UPS/PDU PDU/ATS when a power event occurs. The Center simultaneously monitors and controls multiple UPS/PDUs PDU/ATS units and computers which have Agent or Client installed via the local network. It also logs events and results about commands for power management. The Agent should be installed on a single computer connected to the UPS with a USB or serial connection. The Agent controls the UPS and establishes communication with the Client if the UPS has no remote management card. The Agent relays the UPS state to each Client and the Client performs actions based on the notifications. Each computer powered by the UPS can be protected and controlled using the Client. In the event of power failure, the Agent will shut down the hosted computer and request the Client computers to shut down prior to the UPS shutting down. Refer to Configuration A of the PowerPanel® Business Edition structure illustration. PowerPanel® PowerPanel Business Edition structure A UPS with a remote management card has the ability to communicate with multiple computers which have Client installed and are on the same network and relay the UPS status to each Client. In the event of a power failure, each Client will request the hosted computer to shut down following notifications from the UPS. Refer to Configuration B of the PowerPanel® Business Edition structure illustration. The Client also has the ability to communicate with a PDU. Each computer powered by a PDU can utilize the Client for protection and control. When a PDU outlet supplying power to a computer running Client is going to be switched off, the Client will perform a shutdown prior to switching off the power. Refer to Configuration C of the PowerPanel® Business Edition structure illustration. Agent Agent Aside from the primary function of shutting systems down in the event of an outage, the Agent also provides the following functions: ⚫ Unattended shutdown in response to various power conditions. ⚫ User notification of power conditions. ⚫ Flexible configuration of actions for each event and notifications via E-mail, Instant Message, and SMS. ⚫ Run command files for custom applications. ⚫ Historical logs of events and power conditions. ⚫ Detailed load management for all powered equipment. ⚫ Scheduled shutdown and restart. ⚫ Status monitoring of the UPS and utility power. ⚫ UPS configuration. ⚫ Quick view system summary.

It controls unattended shutdowns, scheduled shutdowns, and notifications for computers powered by the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) or the ), PDU (Power Distribution Unit), or the ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch). PowerPanel® Business Edition software consists of three different modules; Agent, Client and Center. The Agent monitors and configures the UPS through the USB or serial connection. It , logs the UPS status and power events, and generates action actions in response to events. The Client establishes communication with the Agent, UPS RMCARD and PDURMCARD, PDU or ATS and generates actions according to notifications from the UPS/PDU PDU/ATS when a power event occurs. The Center simultaneously monitors and controls multiple UPS/PDUs PDU/ATS units and computers which have Agent or Client installed via the local network. It also logs events and results about commands for power management. The Agent should be installed on a single computer connected to the UPS with a USB or serial connection. The Agent controls the UPS and establishes communication with the Client if the UPS has no remote management card. The Agent relays the UPS state to each Client and the Client performs actions based on the notifications. Each computer powered by the UPS can be protected and controlled using the Client.

It controls unattended shutdowns, scheduled shutdowns, and notifications for computers powered by the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) or the ), PDU (Power Distribution Unit), or the ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch). PowerPanel® Business Edition software consists of three different modules; Agent, Client and Center. The Agent monitors and configures the UPS through the USB or serial connection. It , logs the UPS status and power events, and generates action actions in response to events. The Client establishes communication with the Agent, UPS RMCARD and PDURMCARD, PDU or ATS and generates actions according to notifications from the UPS/PDU PDU/ATS when a power event occurs. The Center simultaneously monitors and controls multiple UPS/PDUs PDU/ATS units and computers which have Agent or Client installed via the local network. It also logs events and results about commands for power management. The Agent should be installed on a single computer connected to the UPS with a USB or serial connection. The Agent controls the UPS and establishes communication with the Client if the UPS has no remote management card. The Agent relays the UPS state to each Client and the Client performs actions based on the notifications. Each computer powered by the UPS can be protected and controlled using the Client. In the event of power failure, the Agent will shut down the hosted computer and request the Client computers to shut down prior to the UPS shutting down. Refer to Configuration A of the PowerPanel® Business Edition structure illustration.

Initiate an installation procedure by running the ./xxxx000-xxxxx-x00.xx command on Citrix XenServer or running the ./ppbe221-linux-x86_00.xx command on VMware ESX/ESXi. Installation for ESX server must be launched in the Service Console (aka Console Operation System); installation for ESXi server must be launched in the vMA (vSphere Management Assistant) installed on the VMware ESXi host computer. Agent should be installed on the vMA of ESX/ESXi 4.1 or later versions, and Center and Client should be installed on the Service Console in ESX or on the vMA in ESXi. Before installing Agent with the USB or serial connection, make sure that the platform running the Agent supports USB or serial connection. VMware ESX 4.1 and later versions support USB device passing through from an ESX or an ESXi to vMA. Citrix XenServer 5.0 and later versions support USB device.
