Introduction

The SurgeX® Axess Elite is a single rack-space, 120V, 15 (20) amp, AC power conditioner that can be controlled over a network or the internet, through a direct serial connection, or through a contact closure input. The simple web server structure allows basic control of the outlets and viewing of status information all from the home page. The extensive programming and setup capabilities are accessed in seven other pages or through a Command Line Interface (CLI).

The Axess Elite incorporates SurgeX Advanced Series Mode® power conditioning and surge elimination, SurgeX Impedance Tolerant® EMI/RFI filtering, and SurgeX ICE® Inrush Current Elimination circuitry (on receptacles 1 and 2). SurgeX ICE eliminates problems associated with inrush currents from large loads such as amplifiers. With SurgeX ICE, it is not necessary to take inrush currents into account when designing the AC power for a system. Special time-delay circuit breakers are not required – it is necessary only to ensure that the average currents of all products plugged into the Axess Elite are within the 15 (20) Amp product rating.

Telnet and serial access use the same Command Line Interface (CLI) structure and syntax to configure, monitor, and control the Axess Elite. The Axess Elite may also be monitored and controlled via SNMP and/or the SDxP API, and may be configured to report to a Syslog server. The internal web server may be secured with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption.

Two Auxiliary Relay outputs are provided for simple control of other equipment. Connection terminals are provided for each relay’s Common, Normally Open, and Normally Closed connections.

Up to 16 Axess Elites can be linked together and controlled from a single web interface. One master Axess Elite provides the communication to the users and receives status information from the rest of the Axess Elites in the cluster. Up to 128 outlets can be controlled in this manner from one IP address.

Up to 16 users can be assigned administrator or user only rights, plus access to specific outlets.

The extensive programming capabilities of the Axess Elite allow sequencing and scheduling to be set up. User Triggers can be programmed to activate on an “if X then do Y then do Z when no longer X” basis. Triggers include: AC line voltage, total unit current draw, individual receptacle current draw, temperature, Net Test, and Contact Closure Input. Actions include: turning receptacles on and off, cycling a receptacle, executing previously-defined sequences, and sending emails. For example, an action can be created to send an email if the rack temperature exceeds 95oF.

The eight rear-mounted receptacles can each be individually controlled, and the current, power, and energy consumption of each receptacle can be obtained through the web page interface and CLI. The metering includes the AC line voltage and current draw, and all measurements (voltage, current and power) are true RMS readings. Thus, the current draw and energy consumption of non-linear electronic loads which have a power factor of less than unity will be correctly reported.

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), Temperature Sensor input, Contact Closure input, Auxiliary Relay A/B output connections, and recessed Reset button.

Initial Set Up

*Default user name and password: admin / admin

DHCP *Beginning with firmware version 2.04.281, the factory default IP Mode will be DHCP (previously Static).

A DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP address (dynamic address) as well as Subnet Mask and Gateway to the Axess Elite.

To find the IP address of the Axess Elite, you will need to use the Discover function of the DMU, query your DHCP server and locate the MAC address of the Axess Elite in the DHCP server’s IP/MAC table, or access the CLI via serial and use the get network command.

Command Line Interface (CLI) Many configuration parameters may be set using the Command Line Interface (CLI). The CLI is accessed through the network using a telnet client, or through the serial port.

Open a telnet client and point it to the current IP Address of the Axess Elite. The factory default telnet port is 23.

Connect to the serial port. The factory default settings are 9600, 8, n, 1.

Upon connection, press Enter and then enter the user name and password when prompted. The factory default user name and password is admin / admin.

These are the basic commands to set the network parameters via CLI. After setting these parameters, the Axess Elite will need to be rebooted for the settings to take effect. Any command that requires rebooting of the Axess Elite will provide a prompt to do so. All commands may be entered as required before rebooting.

Installation

The SurgeX Axess Elite is designed to be installed in a 19 inch equipment rack and requires one unit (1-U) of rack space. Use the four screws provided with the product to secure the rack ears to the rack rails. These screws can be tightened by hand and do not require tools. 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.

3.1 120 Volt Connections

The Axess Elite has a total of 8 receptacles. Each receptacle is rated for a maximum load of 15 amps, but the total load of the Axess Elite must not exceed 15 (20) amps. Plug the equipment cords into the receptacles as needed. The receptacles are numbered 1 through 8. This same numbering is used in the control interface.

3.2 Ethernet Connection

The RJ45 connector for Ethernet is situated on the rear panel beside the Serial connector. The default IP Address is 192.168.1.199.

3.3 RS232 (Serial) Port Connection

The Axess Elite has a 9 pin D subminiature connector for RS-232 serial control. The connector is configured as DCE for direct connection to a laptop or other terminal device. Default serial parameters are 115,200 bps, 8 data, no parity, 1 stop bit (9600,8,n,1).

Triggers Setup

Item

Description

Hysteresis

Specifies the amount by which the associated parameter must return closer to nominal following the activation of a System Trigger for the shutdown to be considered clear. For example using an over voltage shutdown point of 150V and a hysteresis of 7: The Axess Elite will enter a shutdown state when the line voltage exceeds 150V and will not leave the shutdown state until the line voltage drops below 150 – 7 = 143V.

Over-Voltage Auto Shutdown

Immediately shuts off all outlets if the AC line voltage rises above the set value. May not be disabled.

Under-Voltage Auto Shutdown

Shuts off all outlets if the AC line voltage falls below the set value. May be disabled.

Over-Current Auto Shutdown

Shuts off all outlets if the total current draw exceeds the set value. Once this has been triggered, the unit will stay in a persistent shutdown state until manually cleared by pressing “Clear Shutdown” on the Device View page or by issuing the CLI command clear shutdown. The over-current shutdown point should not be set too close to the anticipated normal operating current draw, as this could cause an inadvertent shutdown. May be disabled.

OverTemperature Auto Shutdown

Shuts off all outlets if the temperature sensed by the external temperature sensor exceeds the set value. Once this has been triggered, the unit will stay in a persistent shutdown state until manually cleared by pressing “Clear Shutdown” on the Device View page or by issuing the CLI command clear shutdown. May be disabled.

Self-Test Failure Auto Shutdown

Shuts off all outlets in the unlikely event that the internal surge protection circuitry fails. Once this has been triggered, the unit will stay in a persistent shutdown state until manually cleared by pressing “Clear Shutdown” on the Device View page or by issuing the CLI command clear shutdown. May be disabled.

Persistent Shutdown State:

The Axess Elite will enter a Persistent Shutdown State upon registering an Over- Current, Over-Temperature, or Self-Test Failure event. While in this state, all 8 receptacles will be turned Off, and the front panel amber LED labeled “Shutdown” will be illuminated. Outlet control will not be restored until the shutdown is manually cleared by pressing one of the “Clear Shutdown” buttons located on the Device View page or by issuing the CLI command clear shutdown. Before clearing the shutdown state, it is

advised to verify that the combined current requirement of all equipment powered by the Axess Elite is less than the value specified by the Over-Current System Trigger, and that the measured temperature is less than the value specified by the Over- Temperature System Trigger. Note that Over-Voltage and Under-Voltage shutdown events will clear automatically when the line voltage returns to an acceptable level.

5.5.5 Triggers Setup

The Triggers Setup page allows for the modification of System Triggers and creation of User Triggers. System Triggers define the protective shutdown points for the AC outlets, and take precedence over all other actions, including User Triggers.

5.5.7 Sequences Setup

The Sequences Setup page allows for the creation and modification of sequences. A sequence is a list of outlets, including Auxiliary Relays, that will be turned On, Off, or Rebooted in a predetermined way with a specified delay time between each step. Using sequences avoids manually turning each outlet on or off individually.

A sequence, as defined for this product, is purely a one-way sequence. That is, you do not use the same sequence to turn outlets on as you use to turn the same outlets off in reverse order. One sequence must be created for the turn-on function, and then a second sequence must be created for the turn-off function.

To create a new sequence, press the “New Sequence” button. The new sequence must be given a unique name. This name should clearly indicate what the sequence will do, such as “All On”, “All Off” or “Stage Equipment On”. There may be up to 16 steps in a single sequence. Select the time delay from the “Pause” column. Select the outlet from the “Outlet” column. Select whether the outlet is to turn off, turn on, or reboot from the “Action” column. Press the “Save” button to save the sequence.

To run a sequence to test it, press “Run”. To edit an existing sequence, press “Edit”. To delete a sequence, press “Delete”.

After a sequence has been saved, it will be available at the bottom of the Device View page, and when creating or editing a User Trigger when a sequence is selected as an action.

*Time delay is specified from the previous sequence item, not from the initial starting point. For example, creating a sequence with “Step 1, 1 second, Outlet 1, On” and “Step 2, 1 second, Outlet 2, On” will turn on Outlet 1 after 1 second, and Outlet 2 on 1 second after Outlet 1 has turned on. This sequence will not turn on both Outlets 1 and 2 at the same time.

SDxP Protocol

9.1 Overview

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

9.2 Hello Handshake

The client sends a Hello message in the form of a text string “hello-000”. The SDxP enabled Axess Elite 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:

10. Device Management Utility

The Device Management Utility (DMU) is compatible with SurgeX Axess Elite / Axess Ready products and provides the easiest means to find and configure your Axess Elite unit to:

 Automatically discover multiple Axess Elite and Axess Ready units on a local network  Display the current IP address of each unit  Allows the settings of a new IP address for each connected device  Return a connected Axess Elite or Axess Ready device to Factory Defaults

The Device Management Utility is available for download at http://www.surgex.com/products/Axess-ELITE.html.

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

Device: Discover: Automatically discover all Axess Elite products on the network. The DMU will display the location

name of the unit, the product ID and version number, the current IP address, and the MAC address. Factory defaulted Axess Elites will display with the name Axess Elite and network settings will not be affected. Add: Manually add an Axess Elite by IP address Clear: Clear the list

Set: IP Address: Changes the IP address of the selected Axess Elite

Factory Defaults: Return the selected Axess Elite 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

11. Syslog

The Axess Elite contains a built in Syslog client. When enabled, it will send Syslog formatted UDP messages on port 514. Messages will be sent for the following System Triggers:

 Over-Voltage Auto Shutdown Trigger  Over-Voltage Auto Shutdown Clear  Under-Voltage Auto Shutdown Trigger  Under-Voltage Auto Shutdown Clear  Over-Current Auto Shutdown Trigger  Over-Current Auto Shutdown Clear  Over-Temperature Auto Shutdown Trigger  Over-Temperature Auto Shutdown Clear  Self-Test Failure Auto Shutdown Trigger  Self-Test Failure Auto Shutdown Clear

Example:

12. Rear Panel Reset Button

The recessed reset pushbutton located on the rear panel to the right of the Network connection performs three functions: Reboot, Password Reset, and Factory Default Reset.

Pressing the reset button once quickly will reboot the Axess Elite. The outlets will be set to the states specified by their Initial State parameters. This operation will also clear a Persistent Shutdown State.

Holding the reset button for 5 seconds or longer will initiate a recovery mode. Once the reset button is released, the user has 30 seconds to log in to the CLI using the username admin and password admin. After logging in during recovery mode, the command set password <password> may be used to assign a new admin password. While in this mode, the red Mains LED will flash 0.5 seconds on/off.

Holding the reset button for 5 seconds or longer while powering up the unit will enter factory default reset mode. When the button is released, the unit will be reset to factory defaults, including Network Settings.
