About Power Save

About Faronics Core

Faronics Power Save delivers PC power management that does not interfere with user or IT
needs. Power Save keeps computers running when users need them, accurately determines when
computers are inactive so they can be powered down, and can prove its rapid
return-on-investment through network-wide power consumption and savings reports.

Power Save's non-disruptive PC power management analyzes CPU, disk, keyboard, mouse, and
network activity, as well as application status, before taking computer power management
actions. It is also available for both Windows and Mac computers. With an average savings of $50
per computer per year for every computer deployed, Power Save is the ultimate PC power
management software solution for desktop and laptop computers.

Faronics Core is a lightweight, high performance, secure, easy-to-learn, and integrated framework
for the management of multiple Faronics products. It provides a consistent and reliable method of
displaying, managing, installing, updating, and protecting workstations and servers from a single
console, allowing your organization to increase efficiency with a complete management solution
for Faronics products.

Faronics Core User Interface Components

Core Console is the User Interface for the Core Server. The following User Interface components
are displayed on Core Console:

Console Tree Pane

The Core Console node can have multiple Core Server nodes. Under the Core Server node, there
are three main nodes. These are: Workstations, Tasks, and Reports. Clicking on one of these
nodes changes the information displayed in the Results pane.

Action Pane

Actions in the Action pane are applied to selected workstations and are only shown when one or
more workstation have been selected. This Action pane is a duplication of the right-click context
menu.

Core Console Properties Dialog

The Core Console Properties dialog is accessed by right-clicking on the Core Console icon in the
Console Tree pane and selecting Properties.

Faronics Power Save User Guide

Installing Power Save Loadin|21

Core Server Properties Dialog

The Core Server dialog is accessed by right-clicking on the Core Server connection icon in the
Console Tree pane and selecting Properties. This dialog displays the Loadin-specific tabs.

Console Tree Pane

The Console Tree pane has the following nodes:

• Core Console — this is the root node.

• Core Server — there can be multiple server nodes.

The management of workstations, processing of tasks and communication between Core
Console and workstations is done by the Core Server. There is one Core Server node for each
connection between Core Console and a Core Server.

• Workstations — one for each Core Server.

Under the Workstations node are three sub nodes; Managed Workstations, Discovered
Workstations, and Custom Workstation Groups node (where custom groups of workstations
can be created and populated).

• Tasks — one for each Core Server.

The Tasks node displays the current state of all Server tasks. A task is defined as an action
applied to one or more workstations. Expanding the Tasks node displays three sub-nodes for
the states of a Task. The Scheduled node displays tasks that are scheduled to run in the future.
The Active node displays tasks currently being processed. The History node displays tasks that
have already been completed. Tasks older than a certain date are automatically deleted. This
can be configured through the Server tab of the Core Server Properties dialog.

• Reports — under the root node.

Core Console displays reports created by Product Loadins. If no Loadins are installed, no
reports can be generated.

LDAP Groups

It is possible to use groups of workstations that already have been defined on a directory server.
Once the Core Agent has been installed on workstations discovered through LDAP, those
workstations can be managed directly through the LDAP groups node. These workstations can
also be added to custom groups.

Custom Workstation Groups

Workstations can be added to a custom group by standard Windows clipboard functionality. Cut,
copy, or paste (along with drag-and-drop) a workstation into a group. To create a group,
right-click on the Custom Workstation Groups icon and select Create Subgroup. You can also add
or edit Dynamic Filters and perform Group Actions.

The Workstation List and Tasks are stored on the Core Server, whereas the
Reports are stored locally on the computer where Core Console is installed.

Information on Faronics Core system requirements can be found in the Faronics Core user’s guide.

22| Installing Power Save

Installing or Upgrading Power Save on a Workstation via Core

Console

Power Save can be deployed by Installing or Upgrading Power Save via the Core Console.

The Core Agent, which is part of Faronics Core, must be installed on each workstation that will be
managed by Power Save. For more information on installing the Workstation Agent Installer,
refer to the Faronics Core user guide. The latest user guide is available at

http://www.faronics.com/library.

Once the Core Agent is installed, the workstations are detected on the network and visible in Core
Console. You can now Install or Upgrade Power Save on the workstations.

To install or upgrade Power Save, select a single workstation or multiple workstations, click
Configure Workstations in the right pane and select Advanced > Install/Upgrade Power Save
Client.

The workstation reboots after a successful install. Power Save will give you an
option to Suppress Reboot. If you Suppress Reboot, Power Save will not work
until the workstation reboots.

If there is more than one Loadin installed, the right-click contextual menu for
Power Save can be accessed by right-clicking a workstation, selecting Power Save
and then selecting the particular action.
