The PowerPanel Business Edition Client software can be installed on computers to benefit shutdown protection in
order to ensure a proper shutdown in the extended power outage event and control demands in UPS and extended
PDU.
Assigning a correct outlet is important. The Outlet option must be configured to match the actual equipment plugged
into the UPS outlet. Depending on the UPS configuration of specific models with NCL outlets, these outlets will lose
power before the entire UPS is shutdown. The Agent will request Client computers powered by these outlets to
perform a shutdown to avoid data loss because of the power outage.
Note: The Client computer name will be displayed in gray if communication with the Client computer is not established.
