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.
