Configuration
Solution-Pac 97 Configuration

The following parameters are available for Solution-Pac 97 configuration :

General parameters

Automatic startup

This check-box activates automatic startup at system boot.

Check it if you want Solution-Pac 97 software to start automatically.

Communication parameters

Serial port

This parameter specifies the name of the serial port to which the UPS is connected.

Choose the appopriate serial port in the list.

For Windows 95 only : if your UPS supports Plug and Play feature, you may choose "Auto". Then Solution-Pac 97 software will find the UPS serial port automatically when starting.

Baud rate

This parameter is the speed used for communication with the UPS.

Only one value is allowed : 2400 bauds.

Messages parameters

First message after

When an utility failure occurs, if it lasts less than the value of this parameter, it is not notified to the user of the computer.

Specifying a delay of more than 0 minute makes that the user is not disturbed by short duration utility failures.

If the utility failure lasts more than this delay, first notification message is sent after this period.

Interval between messages

This interval is the time between periodic notification messages that are sent after utility failure until system shutdown if utility is not restored.

Shutdown parameters

Shutdown duration

This parameter indicates the duration of system shutdown procedure. It allows Solution-Pac 97 to start this procedure just in time according to the estimated UPS battery autonomy.
