How do I shutdown VMs with PCNS on a standalone ESXi setup?

[stanj]

We have two ESXi host running vSphere 8. 

They are connected to two APC SRT6KRMXLT UPSs in a redundant setup.

I installed and configured the PCNS v5.1 VM on one ESXi host so far

When I open and access PCNS via the Web interface on port 6547, I do not see an option to configure the VMs to shut down.

I see main tabs across the top – Home, Configuration UPS Configuration, Help (see screen attached)

I am thinking the paid for version is when vCenter is added to PCNS?

In the standalone ESXi setup in PCNS, what is the process to notify the ESXi host and VMs to shutdown once the UPS battery reaches low (about 10 minutes of battery)?

We have a small setup - one ESXi has about 10 VMs, the other about 20

thanks

Thanks . 

I already followed that article but it does not say when the ESXi host is notified to shut down 

In PCNS, I see the attached.  Does this need to be set as i could not find this in the FAQ or PCNS manual
