I. Overview The Axess Setup and Control Utility (SCU) is designed to facilitate installation, configuration, and management of one or more SurgeX Axess products. With the Setup Program, users can: 1. Automatically discover multiple Axess units on a local network. 2. Add additional Axess units not on the local network. 3. Download existing configurations from installed Axess units. 4. Save existing configurations for later use or as a backup. 5. Open saved configurations for change management. 6.
II. Installation The Axess Setup and Control Utility is distributed as an installation file Axess_SCU_Setup_127.exe. This file can be also downloaded from SurgeX at www.surgex.com. Use of the Axess Setup and Control Utility Version Q110630G.127 requires Axess firmware Q110630.286 or higher. SCU Program Screen The SCU Program screen is divided into two sections. The left column is a list select box for all Axess units identified by the system.
II. Installation (continued) Selecting an Axess To select an Axess from the list, simply click on the desired unit in the list box. This action will place the selected Axess IP address into the IP Address field of the Connect Panel, Download Dialog Box, and the Upload Dialog box. This prevents the user from having to know the IP address of each Axess. The SCU has the ability to remember the user name and password for each of the units in the Select List Box.
II. Installation (continued) Edit This choice is only available when the user right-clicks on an Axess in the Select List Box. Selecting this choice will display the Edit Dialog Box. This dialog box allows the user to edit the IP address, user name, and password of the selected Axess. This is the only way the user can delete a previously stored user name and password. The Edit dialog box contains 3 fields, which are preloaded with the current data of the selected Axess.
II. Installation (continued) Clear List This choice is only available when the user right-clicks on white space in the list box. This menu choice allows the user to delete ALL the Axess units from the Select List Box. To prevent accidental deletion, a confirmation dialog box is displayed to confirm the action. This function is the same as the Clear List button below the List Select Box.
III. Axess Operation Tab Pages The Operation Tab pages provide three functional operations: Connect, Control, and Setup. Connect Panel The connect panel is the first panel that is visible upon starting the program. It provides the user with the means to connect to the selected Axess. Once the user has selected an Axess, this panel may be used to enter the user name and password of the selected unit.
III. Axess Operation Tab Pages (continued) Save User Name and Password Checkbox Checking this check box will save the user name and password for the selected Axess. The save takes place when any of the control buttons are pressed. The file that contains the user name and password is AES encrypted for security purposes. IMPORTANT NOTE: It is important to check the file or source prior to uploading any configuration.
III. Axess Operation Tab Pages (continued) Password Use this field to enter the password of the user entered in the user name field. If the user has previously connected to the Axess and saved the information, this field will be preloaded. The password field is masked, and ‘*’ will be displayed in place of the characters entered. Upload Check Boxes Use the upload check boxes to select the tabs to be uploaded to the Axess.
III. Axess Operation Tab Pages (continued) User Name Use this field to enter a valid user on the Axess being downloaded from. The user MUST have administrative rights on the Axess. If the user name and password are saved, this field is preloaded for the selected unit. Password Use this field to enter the password of the user entered in the user name field. The password field is masked, and ‘*’ will be displayed in place of the characters entered.
IV. Control Panel The Control Panel is located just below the Operations Tabs when the SCU is in Control mode. The control mode is entered by clicking Login on the Connect Panel, selecting an Axess from the select list box that has a saved user name and password, or by clicking on the control button in the task bar. The control panel will not be displayed if no user name and password combination has been entered on the connect panel.
IV. Control Panel (continued) Voltage Display Bar The Voltage display bar displays the measured line voltage. The background color will be grey when the voltage is in the normal range, yellow when a low voltage alarm is active, and red when a high voltage alarm is active. Power Display Bar The Power display bar displays the calculated total power currently being consumed by all outlets.
IV. Control Panel (continued) Auto Refresh The auto refresh feature sends the ‘query’ command to the selected Axess until one of the following happens: 1. No outlets are in transition (Pending On, Reboot, Cycle) 2. A different Axess is selected. The auto refresh uses the delay time as its time base.
