Good morning,
I bought a Smart UPS 2200 (SMT2200I) and I installed the suite on the PC (Powerchute 9.1; all suite), it communicates properly with the PC, but there is no way to make it start automatically at startup of windows (in the system tray)?
The software doesn't start at windows startup??

Or do I need another software to monitor the UPS automatically at windows startup?? If so, which one?

(I have win 7 x64 and the ups is connected with usb to pc)

Thanks

the agent service (which monitors the UPS and controls the graceful shutdown) as well as the server service will start automatically. you can verify this in control panel ->administrative tools->services and see that these services are running and have a start up type as auto.

the console (the purplish GUI) does NOT start/launch automatically each time. i guess if you wanted this purple window to launch every time, you could add it to start up manually but there is nothing for Business Edition that runs in the system tray all the time. Business Edition consists of the services I mentioned.
