Hi Brian,
That 'localhost refused to connect' typically means your browser can not connect to PCSS web interface. This could mean the 'PowerChute Serial Shutdown' Windows service is not running. Another possibility is that the web server, built-in in PowerChute Serial Shutdown, is not running or crashed out. You could try to restart the service (or restart the OS) and see if that fixes the issue.
If restart does not fix your issue then I recommend uninstalling and re-installing PowerChute Serial Shutdown. Make sure your UPS is connected during installation and the installer automatically detects it.
After installation finishes you have the option to open the Web User Interface in your default browser. The 'Your connection isn't private' warning in the browser is due to the self-signed SSL certificate. You can safely ignore this error and continue to localhost (click 'Advanced' button and then 'Continue to localhost (unsafe)' link). This will add an exception for localhost:6547 (the PowerChute Web UI) in your browser, and you will no longer get this privacy error next time you open the Web UI.
