Connection Disrupted
A connection disrupted notice indicates Power Manager is running but not accepting network connections.
Power Manager will show Connection Disrupted when it has determined the Scheduler’s process uk.co.dssw.powermanager.pmd is running but is not accepting network connections.
Power Manager uses encrypted local-host only networking to talk between the Scheduler and the application. The connections are restricted to start and end on the computer, and never leave your computer.
Things to try:
- Ensure the Power Manager application is located in the main
/Applicationsfolder. This is essential. - If you use network blocking or filtering software, you need to configure this software to allow Power Manager to work. Even if the network software is set to observe only, bugs and subtle errors in the implementation can cause problems.
- If you use a VPN, make sure local connections remain on your Mac.
- Restart your Mac in safe mode.
- Re-install Power Manager using the packaged edition; this will ensure all the required files are present in the correct location.
