Introduction
 
PowerPanel
®
 Business Edition (PPBE) software provides comprehensive advanced power management 
for UPS systems. It controls unattended shutdowns, scheduled shutdowns, and notifications for computers 
powered by the UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) or the PDU (Power Distribution Unit). 
PowerPanel
®
 Business Edition software consists of Agent and Client. The Agent serves to monitor and 
configure the UPS through the USB or serial connection. It logs the UPS status and power events, and 
generates action in response to event. The Client establishes the communication with the Agent or directly to 
UPS RMCARD and PDU, and generates actions according to the notification from the UPS/PDU when a 
power event occurs. 
Users can install the Agent 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 
application. 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 shutdown. Refer to Configuration A of the PowerPanel

Business Edition structure illustration. 
The UPS with a remote management card has the ability to communicate with multiple computers which 
had installed Client on the 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
