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.
The thirteen front panel LEDs provide indications for eight AC outlet On/Off status (green), two Auxiliary Relay
Latched/Unlatched status (green), surge protection status (green), Shutdown status (amber), and AC mains power (red).

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.
Example: Telnet to DHCP-Assigned IP Address 192.168.1.199 on Port 23 and change to Static IP Address 192.168.1.3.

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.
3.1120 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.
3.2Ethernet 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.
3.3RS232 (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).
When illuminated, the corresponding AC outlet is on.
Aux Relays
Green
When illuminated, the corresponding auxiliary relay is latched.
Self-Test
Green

Shutdown
Amber
When illuminated, the Axess Elite is in shutdown mode due to out of range
line voltage, current, or temperature.
Mains
Red
When illuminated, the Axess Elite is connected to a live wall or floor outlet.
3.4Temperature 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.
3.5Contact 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.
3.6Auxiliary 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.

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
“ClearShutdown” 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
“ClearShutdown” 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
“ClearShutdown” 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.
5.5.5Triggers 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.
User defined triggers that have previously been
created are displayed in a list. The name of the
trigger is the name that was given to the trigger
when it was created. Pressing “Test Alarm” will
activate the trigger alarm action, and pressing
“TestClear” will activate the trigger clear action;
use these test functions to verify that the trigger
will operate as intended.
Pressing “Edit” will open the trigger for editing,
and pressing “Delete” will delete the trigger. New
triggers may be created by pressing the “New Trigger” button
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 “NewSequence” button. The new sequence must be given a
unique name. This name should clearly indicate what the sequence will do, such as “AllOn”,“AllOff” 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.
The Links Setup page allows for the setup of Axess Elite Expansion units and Favorites.
Expansion units are other Axess Elite units which will be available for monitoring and control on the
Global View page of the master unit. Up to 15 Expansion units may be defined.
Favorites may be any internet address. Use Favorites to set up shortcuts to earlier versions of the
Axess Elite product, other equipment web servers, or Internet web pages.
Addresses may be specified with a port number in this format: “http://IPADDRESS:PORTNUMBER”; for
example, http://192.168.1.199:72.
Saved Expansions and Favorites are available in the Links subsection of the Device View page.

SNMP
Axess Elite Setup and Control functions can be linked to any SNMP v2c manager. Up to four SNMP managers may be set.
Each manager can perform all Setup and Control functions, and may receive Trap notifications for System Triggers, User
Triggers, and Manual outlet control.
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.
9.2Hello 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.
Enumerated type that tells the SDxP server what type of packet is being sent. See the Types
subsection for a full list of packet types.
uName
This variable MUST contain a valid user on the target Axess Elite.
password
This variable MUST contain the password for the specified user.
desc
This variable is the type descriptor that describes the type of data that is being sent. By
extension, it lets the server know what the payload is. There is a different set of descriptors for
each type class. See the Descriptors subsection for a full list of descriptors by type.
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.
9.3SDxP 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:
The payload is determined by a combination of the type class and the descriptor. The payloads are described by
the descriptor; see the Descriptors subsection for details.
This is a null command and should not be sent to the server.
1
eType_inform
Informs are similar to SNMP traps. They are sent from the managed device
to the manager on a periodic basis.
2
eType_commands
Used to control and query the managed device.
9.4Types
There are currently 2 types. All classes are defined in the C programming enumerated type definition below:
typedef enum {
eType_null,
eType_inform,
eType_commands
} eCmnd;
9.5Descriptors
Descriptors are used to describe the individual commands within a command class and the payload that the
packet contains. All of the descriptors and their payloads are outlined by command class below:
eType_Informs
Informs are similar to SNMP traps. They are sent from the managed device to the manager on a periodic
basis.
This inform is used to tell the manager the status of
all 8 outlets. It is also the response to the
getOutletStatus and setOutletStatus commands.
tOutletStatus
eInform_auxRelayStatus
This inform is used to tell the manager the status of
the 2 auxiliary relays. It is also the response to the
getAuxRelayStatus and setAuxRelayStatus commands.
tAuxStatus
eInform_lineVoltage
This inform is used to tell the manager the line
voltage. It is also the response to the getLineVoltage
command.
tLineVoltage
eInform_lineCurrent
This inform is used to tell the manager the total line
current. It is also the response to the getLineCurrent
command.
tLineCurrent
eInform_linePower

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.
