Windows

This article will introduce how to configure WalleCube Smart UPS on a Windows system. You can choose to use the dedicated client software provided by WalleCube (recommended), or use the Windows built-in power management function.

Method 1: Client Mode (Recommended)

Installing the dedicated client allows you to view the UPS status more intuitively and flexibly set trigger logic such as shutdown and sleep.

1. Install Software: Download and install WalleCube UPS Monitor. It currently supports Windows 7 and above operating systems.
2. Automatic Recognition: After connecting the UPS to the computer’s USB port, open the client, and the software will automatically identify and display the connected UPS.

3. Configure Shutdown Rules: Click the Settings button in the upper right corner of the software.
   • Action: Can be set to “Shutdown”, “Sleep”, or “None”.
   • Trigger Threshold: Set the action to be performed when the battery power drops to a specified percentage.
   • Save Configuration: After each setting change, be sure to click Save Configuration to ensure it takes effect.

4. Status Monitoring: Click anywhere on the software home page to view detailed information such as UPS voltage, load, and remaining time.

Method 2: Windows Built-in Settings

If you don’t want to install extra software, you can use the system’s built-in UPS management function.

1. Enter Control Panel: Open Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Power Options.

2. Edit Plan Settings: Click Change plan settings next to the power plan currently in use.

3. Configure Hibernation Policy: Click Change advanced power settings. In the pop-up window, find the Battery item, where you can set actions (such as hibernation) and their trigger thresholds at low battery.

Remote Power-on (WOL)

Remote power-on for Windows computers also depends on the motherboard and network card hardware support:

1. BIOS Settings: Please ensure that WOL (Wake on LAN) or PCI-E Device Wake-up is enabled in the motherboard BIOS.
2. System Network Card Settings: In the Windows Device Manager, find the network card, and in its properties “Power Management” tab, check Allow this device to wake the computer.
3. App Configuration: Get the network card’s MAC Address and fill it into the Remote Power-on -> Manual Power-on tab of the WalleCube app. Then click Power On Now to test.
