Chapter 1 Winpower Introduction

1. Winpower profile

Winpower is a UPS monitoring software which supports either stand alone computers

or network (including LAN & Internet) connected computers.

Winpower is used to monitor the intelligent UPS and safeguard computer systems from unexpected crash when power fails. With Winpower software, user can monitor and configure the UPS on any computer in the same LAN. With this software, one UPS can provide multiple computers in network with security protection simultaneously, including shutting down system in security, saving application data and shutting down the UPS when AC fails.

2. Winpower Structure

Winpower is made up of three components: Agent, Monitor and TrayIcon.

Note：The concrete meaning of Agent refer to Appendix A — glossary explanation.

Agent is the core component of Winpower and runs as a system service on background. Communicates with the UPS, logs events, notifies users of events, arranges actions according to user's requirement and impending shutdown when necessary. Also, Agent can be managed by Monitor.

Monitor is the user interface application of Winpower. Relying on Agent, it gathers real-time UPS information, UPS status, server information and allows user to tailor the UPS working parameters. It can run on any computer on the LAN or stand alone computer.

TrayIcon is the management tool of Winpower. Only in Windows platform has this component. It appears in Status Area of System task bar. TrayIcon has two different icons for displaying current Agent status. The icons and the related status refers to the following table 1-2-1:
