Solution:
- Verify the PowerChute server can reach the internet. If it cannot, you must use the activate offline method.
- Verify the proxy server settings are correct if in use.
- If a proxy server is not in use, ensure all entries for proxy information are blank. By default, PowerChute ships the port number filed in. Port 80. That information must be removed/deleted.
