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.

Manage

Open Browser: Opens the web browser interface for the selected AR.

Upgrade Firmware: Starts the Firmware Upgrade dialogue. Firmware Upgrade requirements: Valid firmware

file. Administrative login credentials. “Upgrade Enable” must be set to yes, set via web page or CLI.

Set

IP Address: Changes the IP address of the selected AR.

Factory Defaults: Return the selected AR to a Factory Default state. This action must be performed within the first 2 minutes after powering up the unit.

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.

IV. Outlet On LED Indicator

The Outlet On LED functionality is as follows:

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
