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).

3.4 Temperature Sensor
In order to obtain a temperature reading, the external temperature sensor must be connected to the first (far left)
terminal block. The sensor has two wires: red and black. Connect the red wire to pin 1 and the black wire to pin 2.
The sensor can be positioned to read air temperature at any location in the rack, although the top of the rack
would be optimal since heat rises; it can also be placed in contact with the chassis of a particular piece of
equipment that you want to monitor.
3.5 Contact Closure Input
Connect a contact closure control input (if any) to the 2 pins of the second terminal block. Relays, switches, and
push buttons are all suitable input types. The actions to be executed upon closing or opening of the contact
closure input may be defined as various User Triggers on the Triggers Setup web page.
3.6 Auxiliary Relay Outputs
Two auxiliary relay outputs are provided at the third (Aux Relay A) and fourth (Aux Relay B) terminal blocks.
Access to the Common, Normally Open, and Normally Closed positions is provided for each relay. The auxiliary
relays are controlled in the same manner as the AC outlets, and may be controlled by Sequences, Schedules,
and User Triggers.
