During an extended power outage, the UPS batteries could become 
depleted before the administrator can shut down the computer system. 
If this happens, the system will crash as if no UPS were present. 
Belkin Power Management Software for Linux software ensures that the system is safely shut 
down before battery backup power is exhausted, even if the system is 
unattended. 

With Belkin Power Management Software, you could effectively monitor, configure and control a 
Smart UPS connected to a serial port on your system or to the 
network using an SNMP agent.  You also have the ability to collect 
UPS/power status information from the SNMP Agents and Adapters at 
various points throughout your network and graphically display that 
information on your NMS station for fast problem diagnosis.  

Belkin Power Management Software automatically responds to protect system/data integrity 
during power crisis situations such as utility or UPS battery 
failure.  Users would receive warning messages about the power 
problem.  They would also receive periodic alerts about the time 
remaining until shutdown.   If a battery low condition occurs during 
a power outage, the delay time before system shutdown would be 
shortened to prevent the system from crashing.  If power returns, 
the shutdown process would immediately stop.  If power returns after 
system and UPS shutdown then the UPS will turn on and the system 
will boot up automatically.  All power events are recorded in a log 
file.

Belkin Power Management Software can be configured to automatically power down and reboot the 
system before the workday or week begins. This feature results in 
added system security and electrical energy cost savings.  Users 
could easily modify startup and shutdown schedules for every day of 
the week through a full-screen editor.
