Installation And Basic Configuration
Installation is simple just unzip the installer from the
downloaded file, double click on the installer and follow the on
screen instructions (when selected shortcuts are installed for all
users). As well as installing the program this will also install
the help pages. CPUOff can be installed over previous installations
but it will need re-configuring if upgrading from versions prior
to version 4.0 or if the configuration file is overwritten. Start
the program and enter the registration code to start using CPUOff.
By default the program runs in the System Tray, to access the configuration
screen double click on the tray icon and then click the Configure
button from the main screen. See Configuration for
details of the parameters that can be varied. The default values
should be fine for most applications if remote control is not used.
If the program will not work properly check out the FAQ and Release
Notes for suggestions. The program can only be installed and
configured by a user with administrative privileges. Installing CPUOff
Slave to the same location as CPUOff will only convert CPUOff into
CPUOff Slave and vice versa provided you allow the installer to overwrite
the old configuration file.
Shutting Down A Remote Computer
Install the CPUOff Slave (by selecting Slave from the
program section of the installer) on the remote computer and configure
the program with the IP address of the local computer. See Configuration for
details of the other parameters that can be varied for the remote
computer. You will also need to set the remote IP address on the
local computer. The CPUOff Slave will not start minimised until
it is configured. The program can only be installed by a user with
administrative privileges.
Multiple Instances And Installations
It is only possible to run one instance of CPUOff at a
time. CPUOff and CPUOff Slave can not be run at the same time on
one computer. CPUOff and CPUOff Slave can only exist on the same
computer if they are installed into different locations. Neither
program can be run at the same time as CPUOff Lite. If CPUOff is
in shutdown mode when an attempt to start a second instance occurs
the error message will open beneath the first program window which
will take priority.
Security
If remote shutdown is used this program may compromise network
security, this depends on the network and any firewall configuration.
You will need appropriate access privileges to the remote computer
to use the slave program.
