INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION OF THE POWERSOFT PERSONAL
SOFTWARE
Installation on computers with Windows
Prior to beginning the installation of PowerSoft:
•
Uninstall the current version of PowerSoft or any other control software (in
situations where the user is changing the battery back-up protecting the
computer),
•
If the battery back-up will communicate with the PC via a USB cable, this
cable should be disconnected from the computer. The software installer will
prompt the user to connect the communication cable at the appropriate time.
In order to install PowerSoft on a computer with Windows (the list of operating
systems compatible with the application is available at www.ever.eu) just run the
software installer and follow the instructions onscreen. During the installation you will
be asked to select the model of the battery back-up connected to the computer on
which the software is being installed. This setting may also be changed when the
application is running.
In the case of a UPS connected to the computer via a USB cable, when the
software installation is complete, the PowerSoft Personal installer will ask the user to
connect the USB cable to the computer. The system will announce that a new device
has been found and will propose to install the drivers. Select the option to install the
drivers from a chosen location and on the next screen indicate the installation folder
of the PowerSoft (usually
C:\Program Files\PowerSoft
) to be searched. Next,
the operating system will locate and install the appropriate driver.
In the case of Windows Vista the operating system will not launch automatic
installation of the drivers from the hard drive. After connecting the USB cable to the
computer you will need to open the control panel from the Start Menu and select
system properties. On the device tree displayed find the USB bus branch (in most
cases it will be already expanded) and select the battery back-up. Update the
device's driver from its "Properties" window by right-clicking it in the list and following
the instructions onscreen. As the driver's location you should indicate the PowerSoft
installation folder (usually
C:\Program Files\PowerSoft
).
To uninstall PowerSoft select the "Uninstall PowerSoft" option in Start Menu. You
can also uninstall PowerSoft from the "Add and remove programs" menu in the
control panel.
