I. Introduction

The SurgeX® SA-82-AR is a network attached, IP addressed, web-controlled AC surge protector and power conditioner. The SA-82-AR may be used to switch up to 8A at 120V. The simple web server structure allows basic control of two outlets. The extensive programming and setup capabilities are accessed by a web browser, through a Device Management Utility (DMU), or through a Command Line Interface (CLI).

•

The SA-82-AR features SurgeX® Series Mode

®

surge protection, Impedance

Tolerant EMI/RFI filtering and Over-Voltage Shutdown.

•

Remote reboot any device: monitors, routers, servers, kiosks, etc. The remote device need not be

network attached.

•

Conserve energy by powering down equipment when not in use.

•

Telnet access uses the Command Line Interface (CLI) structure and syntax to completely configure and

control the SA-82-AR. This Axess Ready (AR) device also supports the DxP protocol, which allows software developers to integrate the unit into custom applications.

•

Up to 2 systems can be continuously monitored with AutoPing,with automatic power control upon loss

of contact. Reboot crashed systems or provide auto power-up, or - down for environmental controls and notification systems.

•

The SA-82-AR utilizes 2 levels of password security, with only the administrative account having access to

setup and configuration.

Located on the rear panel are the input IEC power plug, network connection (RJ-45), 8A circuit breaker, and output receptacles.

The front panel contains the Outlet On LED, Self-Test LED, System On LED, and Reset button.

II. Installation

1. Ethernet Connection

The RJ45 connector for 10/100 Ethernet is situated on the rear panel beside the input power plug. The default IP Address is DHCP assigned. The fallback IP address is 192.168.1.254.

2. AC Power Connections

Connect the device to be powered On and Off to the output duplex receptacle.

Ensure that the total combined load of all controlled devices does not exceed 8 Amps.

Connect one end of the supplied power cord to the connector labeled “AC Input”, and the other end to a properly grounded AC outlet.

3.

LED Indicators

The green Self-Test LED indicates that the internal surge protection circuitry is fully functional. The red Outlet On LED indicates that power is being supplied to the two receptacles.

The red System On LED indicates that the Axess system is On. This indicator will turn off if the AC voltage rises above 145V, and AC power will be removed from the output receptacles in order to protect connected equipment. When the AC voltage returns to below 135V, power will automatically be restored to the output receptacles and the System On LED will turn on.

III. Initial Set-Up

1. Device Management Utility (DMU)

The SurgeX Device Management Utility (DMU) provides the easiest means to find and configure your AR for use. The DMU can:

1. Automatically discover multiple ARs on a local network.

2. Display the current IP address of each AR.

3. Allow the setting of a new IP address for each AR.

4. Perform firmware upgrades.

5. Return an AR to Factory Defaults.

The SurgeX Device Management Utility is available on the SurgeX website at http://www.surgex.com

Note: The IP address can only be set within the first 2 minutes after powering up the AR. The utility will only work with ARs on the same local subnet as the PC.

Device

Discover: Automatically discover all ARs on the local network. The DMU will display the location name of the AR, the product ID and version number, the current IP address, and the MAC address. Factory defaulted ARs will display with the name Axess Ready and have an IP address that was automatically assigned by the DHCP server on your network.

The IP address field also indicates the port for web access that is currently in use by the AR. The standard port for web browser accessibility is factory default Port 80.

Add: Manually add an AR by IP address.

Clear: Clear the list.

Local Address: Select the IP address to Discover on. This may be necessary for computers with multiple network connections.

Exit

Exits the DMU program.

Help

Online Help: Opens a web browser to online help resources.

About: Displays DMU version information.

2. Setting the IP Address

ARs are configured with a DHCP assigned factory default IP address.

To set the AR’s IP address using one of the following methods, the computer and AR must be on the same local network.

DMU: Follow the steps in the preceding subsection to set the IP address using the Device Management Utility (DMU).

CLI: These are the basic commands to set the network parameters. After setting these parameters, the AR will need to be rebooted for the settings to take effect. Any command that requires rebooting of the AR will provide a prompt to do so. All commands may be entered as required before rebooting. Manually specifying the IP address via CLI automatically sets the address as static.

SA-82-AR User Manual

_________________________________________________________________________________________

Example: Telnet to IP address of 192.168.1.254 on default Port 23:

SurgeX Axess Ready v1.01.41 User> admin Password> *****

Axess Ready> set ipaddress 10.1.2.69

Ok Axess Ready Reboot Required> set subnet 255.255.255.0

Ok Axess Ready Reboot Required> set gateway 10.1.2.1

Ok Axess Ready Reboot Required> reboot

The CLI command set ipmode dhcp followed by a reboot command may be used to configure the AR to automatically acquire its network settings from a DHCP server. A DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address (dynamic address), as well as the Subnet Mask and Gateway.

To determine what IP address has been automatically assigned by the DHCP server, you will need to use the Discover feature of the DMU or query your DHCP server and locate the MAC address of the AR in the DHCP server’s IP/MAC table.

Web: To set the IP address using a web browser, navigate to the current IP address of the AR. Enter the administrator credentials (Factory Default User: admin, Password: admin), click on “Setup”, then click on “Network” and follow the directions in the Web Server/Network/Setup section of this manual.

V. Web Server

The Axess Ready web interface provides the easiest means of operating the outlet and changing configuration parameters.

To access the web interface, open a web browser and enter the IP address of the AR into the address bar.

1. Password

The AR uses two username/password credential sets, one for normal power control (user) and one that also provides access to the Setup functions (admin). Default

credentials:

Enter a valid username and password when prompted. When the proper username/password combination is received, the Control and Status Page is displayed.

2. Control and Status Page

Once a user is validated, the Control and Status page is displayed. Note: Only one user may be logged in to the AR at a time.

Press “Power On” or “Power Off” to turn the AC output On or Off. In the event of a power outage, the AC output will return to its last known state prior to the outage.

Press “Cycle Power” to temporarily change the state of the AC output for a specified cycle time (factory default is 10 seconds). The cycle operation performed will either be On-Off-On or Off-OnOff, depending on the initial state of the AC output. During the power cycle operation, the Power Status bar will indicate the temporary status with a Blue background. Once the cycle is complete, the status bar will revert to its original condition. To abort a power cycle, press either “Power On” or “Power Off” and the outlets will assume that status.

Use the Refresh button to update the page with the most current status. Use of the browser’s refresh button may lead to inadvertent power switching. If an NTP time server is being used, the time of the last refresh will be displayed in the upper right corner, as well as History log below the Power Status

3. Setup Pages

Setup pages are only available while logged in with Administrator credentials. Press Save to save the new settings. If the new settings require the AR to be rebooted, a Reboot button will appear at the bottom of the page. Settings requiring reboot will not take effect until the unit is rebooted.

Device

Location ID: Specifies a name label (up to 20 characters) that will be displayed at the top of all pages. Assigning unique names is helpful for management of multiple units.

Cycle Time: Specifies the length in seconds of a power cycle (1-999 seconds). This is the amount of time the outlet will temporarily be On or Off, depending on the initial outlet state.

Disable Off: When checked, removes the Power OFF button from the Status and Control page.

Initial State: Specifies the initial state the AC outlet(s) will assume when the unit is powered up or reset.

Upgrade Enable: Enables the ability to upgrade the firmware of the AR.

Auto Logout: Specifies the inactivity timer duration in minutes (0-99 minutes). If there is no activity after the specified amount of time, the user will be automatically logged out. Setting the timer duration to 0 disables the timeout feature.

Enable Security Timeout: When unchecked, disables the 2 minute window for setting IP address and factory defaults via DMU.

Important: As the AR allows only one web user logged in at any time, use caution when disabling the timeout feature, as it is possible to lock out other users by forgetting to log out. Closing the web browser will not log the user out, and may lock out web access. In this situation it will be necessary to access the AR via telnet and reboot the unit.

SA-82-AR User Manual

_________________________________________________________________________________________

AutoPing

The AutoPing feature allows the AR to automatically detect failed equipment and perform a timed reboot or other power control function (like turning on an indicator or siren). First specify one or two IP addresses to be periodically pinged. When the AR no longer receives a response from these addresses, the programmed power control function is actuated. AND or OR logic can be applied to the two addresses, so that both (AND) or either (OR) must fail in order to trigger the selected action.

Examples:

Server monitor: AR is installed with the device it monitors and automatically reboots if there is no response. Ideal for Kiosks and Servers.

Service monitor: AR is installed with the device to be rebooted, but pings a remote host to test the communication channel. Ideal for DSL/Cable Modem verification.

AR monitors a network device, and powers up an alarm or redundant system when there is no response. Ideal for Hot Standby Servers, Environmental Control, Alert for any network failure.

•

IP Address 1 and 2: Enter the IP

address(es) of the device(s) to be pinged.

•

Frequency 1 and 2: Enter the desired ping frequency in seconds for the device(s) to be pinged (1-

999 seconds).

•

Fail Count 1 and 2: Enter the number of times the ping must consecutively fail

(1-999) before the selected action is triggered.

•

Mode: Select the logic to be used (AND, OR, or Single). With AND logic, both AutoPings must

exceed their fail count to trigger the action. With OR logic, the action will be triggered if either AutoPing exceeds its fail count. With Single, only AutoPing 1 is used.

Power On – Latch

Upon triggering, AR will power on and remain so until changed via web, telnet, or DxP.

Power On – Follow

Upon triggering, AR will power on. When the ping response returns, AR will power off.

Power Off – Latch

Upon triggering, AR will power off and remain so until changed via web, telnet, or DxP.

Power Off – Follow

Upon triggering, AR will power off. When the ping response returns, AR will power on.

Power Cycle

Upon triggering, AR will cycle the power. AR will then wait for (Ping Frequency x Fail Count) seconds; if the response does not return, the power will be cycled again. This will repeatedly continue until the ping response returns or AutoPing is turned off. Ensure that the AutoPing frequency is longer than the time required to reboot the device.

Power Cycle - Once

Upon triggering, AR will cycle power one time. It will not cycle again automatically until the ping response returns and is lost again.

•

Restart: This setting delays the restart of the AutoPing tests after the Action is completed. This

setting allows time for the boot sequence of the failed device to complete.

VII. DxP Protocol

1. Overview

The DxP Protocol is a packet-based protocol designed to be extensible. This protocol is transmitted over TCP on a user-defined port. The factory default DxP port is 9100.

The protocol uses a Hello handshake to establish unique sequence numbers to allow for advanced security when AES encryption is used. With AES enabled, all messages must be encrypted with the AES Passphrase set in the device.

After the Hello, a Command and Response sequence follows. Any number of Command → Response sequences are permitted after Hello.

2. Hello Handshake

The client sends a Hello message in the form of a text string ‘hello-000’. The DxP enabled device will respond with a packet containing the unsigned 16 bit sequence number. This sequence number is incremented by the client and server with each correct packet sent.

Example:

Client

Server

hello-000

→

←

1234 (seq 1234)

Command (seq 1235)

→ ←

Response

Command (seq 1237)

→ ←

Response

20

3. DxP Packet

The packet is broken up into 2 parts: The Header and the Payload.

Header

The header is used to carry general information, such as is shown in the C programming structure below:

typedef struct {

eCmnd command; char[21] uName; char[21] password; uChar desc; uChar param; uint16 seq;

} THeader

Variable

Description

command

Enumerated type that tells the DxP server what class of command is being sent. See the Commands subsection for a full list of command classes.

uName

Reserved for future use. It will contain the user name of a user on the ipIO that is being accessed.

password

Reserved for future use. It will contain the password of the user above.

desc

Command descriptor that describes the individual command within a command class. By extension it lets the server know what the payload is. There is a different set of descriptors for each command class; see the Descriptors subsection for a full list of descriptors by command class.

param

Reserved for future use. Optional parameter that may be passed to the server in addition to the descriptor.

seq

The packet’s sequence number. Used as part of the security scheme.

Payload

The payload is determined by a combination of the command class and the descriptor. The payloads are described with the descriptor; see the Descriptors subsection for details.

6. Payloads

TChangeRelay

typedef struct{

unsigned char relay; unsigned char state;

} TChangeRelay;

Where relay is the number of the relay to be affected – 1 (For example, 0 for relay 1 and 1 for relay 2) and state sets the state of the relay (1=Energize; 2=Relax).

TChangeRelays

typedef struct{

unsigned char relayStates[32];

}TChangeRelays;

Where relayStates is an array of relay states as defined below:

#define NO_CHANGE 0 #define ENERGIZE 1 #define RELAX 2

This payload is supported by devices that support the DxP protocol with 2-32 controllable relays.

TPulseRelay

typedef struct{

unsigned char relay; //the relay to be pulsed unsigned char state; //the state to pulse uint16 pulseWidth; //the pulse width in seconds

}TPulseRelay;

Where relay is the number of the relay to be affected, state is the state to pulse, and pulseWidth is the time to pulse in seconds.

VIII. Firmware Upgrades

The AR can be upgraded via the network if the upgrade feature has been enabled. To perform a field upgrade, follow the steps below.

Important: Upgrading the firmware with a minor upgrade (For example, 1.01.xx to 1.01.yy) will not alter the user defined settings. Major upgrades may or may not reset the AR to factory defaults. Check the release notes for the upgrade before making any changes.

1. Download the latest firmware version and Device Management Utility (DMU) from the SurgeX website: http://www.surgex.com.

2. Enable the upgrade feature. Use the CLI set upgrade enable yes command via telnet, or check the “Upgrade Enable” box on the Device web page.

3. Run the DMU. If the AR you would like to upgrade is not visible in the list box, either:

•

Select Device | Discover from the menu to locate the ARs on the local network.

•

Select Device | Add from the menu to manually add the AR by IP address.

Once the device is displayed in the list, highlight it.

4. Select Manage | Upgrade Firmware.

Enter User Name admin and the password for the Administrator.

Enter the filename of the new firmware, or click Browse and navigate to the firmware file to be used. AR firmware files use the file extension .g2u. If no files of that type are displayed, ensure that the “Files of Type” box is set for SX-iPD or All Files.

Click OK when all details are entered.

5. The upload will begin, and a progress bar will be displayed.

6. When the firmware upload is complete, the AR will automatically reboot and will be ready for use.

IX. Reset Button

The recessed reset pushbutton located on the front panel performs 3 functions as detailed below:

Action
