I. Introduction The SurgeX® Axess SX-AX15/SX-AX20 is a single rack-space, 120V, 15/20 Amp, AC power conditioner that can be controlled over a network or the internet. The Axess incorporates SurgeX Advanced Series Mode® power conditioning and surge elimination, as well as SurgeX Impedance Tolerant® EMI/RFI filtering. The simple web server structure allows basic control of the outlets (and groups of outlets) and viewing of status information all from the Device View page.
I. Introduction (continued) Located on the rear panel are the input power cord, circuit breaker (15A or 20A), 8 NEMA 5-15 AC outlets, Serial connection (DCE, 9 pin D-subminiature), Network connection (RJ-45), Phone connection (RJ-11; modem versions only), and Expansion Ports for cluster configurations. The two front panel LEDs provide indication of AC power (red) and surge protection status (green).
II. Initial Set-Up Setup and Control Utility (SCU) 1. The Axess Setup and Control Utility (SCU) utility provides the easiest means to find and configure your Axess for use. The SCU can: 2. Automatically discover multiple Axess units on a local network. 3. Add additional Axess units not on the local network. 4. Download existing configurations from installed Axess units. 5. Save existing configurations for later use or as backup. 6. Open saved configurations for change management. 7.
II. Initial Set-Up (continued) Setting the IP Address Axess units have a factory default IP address of 192.168.0.254. There are four methods to set the IP address of the Axess: 1. 2. 3. 4. Terminal Client software via Telnet, Serial, Modem. Automatically from a DHCP Server ARP / Ping (factory default) SCU (Setup and Control Utility) Setting the IP address using CLI These are the basic commands to set the network parameters.
II. Initial Set-Up (continued) Setting the IP address from a DHCP Server A DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address (dynamic address) as well as Subnet Mask and Gateway to the Axess. To enable this feature, configure the Axess with the command set ipmode dhcp Then reboot the Axess by entering the command reboot To find the IP address of the Axess, query your DHCP server and locate the MAC address of the Axess in the DHCP server’s IP / MAC table.
II. Initial Set-Up (continued) Setting the IP address using the SCU To access the Axess with the SCU from the default IP Address, the PC must be on the same local network (IP address of 192.168.0.nnn). Click File/Discover to automatically discover any Axess units on the same local network as the computer. Discovered units will be listed in the Select list box. Next select the unit to configure by clicking once on its name in the list box.
III. Installation The SurgeX Axess is designed to be installed in a 19 inch equipment rack and requires one unit (1-U) of rack space. Use the screws provided to secure the removable rack brackets to the Axess. Next, use the four thumbscrews to secure the rack ears to the rack rails. Connect power to the unit by plugging the cord into a 120V AC, 15/20 Amp wall or floor receptacle. Do not plug the unit into a relocatable power tap. 120 Volt Connections The Axess has a total of 8 receptacles.
IV. LED Indicators There are two LED indicators located on the front panel. Their function is as follows: Self Test (Green): Power (Red): When illuminated, the surge suppression circuitry is functioning correctly. When illuminated, the Axess is connected to a live wall or floor outlet. V. Web Server The Axess web interface provides the easiest means of operating the outlets and monitoring the current status of the units. One or more outlets can be simultaneously controlled with a few mouse clicks.
V. Web Server (continued) Control The Control panel provides the control buttons to change the status of one or more outlets. Once one or more outlets have been selected, click on the On, Off, or Cycle button. Cycle will perform a timed change in outlet state; either Reboot (On-Off-On), or Cycle (Off-On-Off), depending on the current state of the outlet. The Cycle timer box allows specification of the time, in seconds, of all cycle or reboot operations. Entries of 1 to 99 seconds are valid.
V. Web Server (continued) Outlet Status Outlet Status is indicated by a colored text box. The color indicates the current status of the outlet, and the text indicates the function being performed. High current and high voltage alarms are highlighted in red; low current and low voltage alarms are highlighted in yellow. Group View The Group View displays the status of a single group. Groups are two or more outlets linked together for simultaneous control.
V. Web Server (continued) AutoPing View The AutoPing View displays the 16 AutoPing channels, their programmed action, and current status. The status column displays the current status of each AutoPing. The numeric column displays the number of times each AutoPing has been triggered. A numeric counter other than 0, with the status reporting OK, indicates that there have been previous AutoPing triggers but that the current status is OK.
VI. Command Line Interface (CLI) Protocol The Command Line Interface provides complete setup of all functions of the Axess.
