1. 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.

2. 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 are 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.

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.

3.1 120 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 DHCP assigned.

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 9600 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.

RedBlackCC1CC2NOCOMNCNOCOMNC

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.

Triggers Setup
ItemDescription
HysteresisSpecifies 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 ShutdownImmediately shuts off all outlets if the AC line voltage rises above the set value. May not be disabled.
Under-Voltage Auto ShutdownShuts off all outlets if the AC line voltage falls below the set value. May be disabled.
Over-Current Auto ShutdownShuts 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 commandclear 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.
Over-Temperature Auto ShutdownShuts 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 commandclear shutdown. May be disabled.
Self-Test Failure Auto ShutdownShuts 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 commandclear 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 commandclear 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.

5.5.6 User Defined 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 "Test Clear" 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

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

Sequences Setup: Axess ELITE Sequence Name Modify All ON 0 Edit Delete Run New Sequence

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.

Edit Sequence: Sequence Name: Name Step Pause Outlet Action Step Pause Outlet Action 1 0 None None 9 0 None None 2 0 None None 10 0 None None 3 0 None None 11 0 None None 4 0 None None 12 0 None None 5 0 None None 13 0 None None 6 0 None None 14 0 None None 7 0 None None 15 0 None None 8 0 None None…

*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.

8. 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 Axess Elite MIB is available at surgex.com.

9. 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:

ClientServer
hello-000 →
← 1234 (seq 1234)
Command → (seq 1235)
← Response
Command → (seq 1237)
← Response

9.3 SDxP 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 { eType
    type; char[21]
    uName; char[21]
    password; uChar
    desc;
    uChar param;
    uint16 seq;
} THeader 
VariableDescription
typeEnumerated type that tells the SDxP server what type of packet is being sent. See the Types subsection for a full list of packet types.
uNameThis variable MUST contain a valid user on the target Axess Elite.
passwordThis variable MUST contain the password for the specified user.
descThis 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.
paramReserved for future use. Optional parameter that may be passed to the server in addition to the descriptor.
seqThe packet's sequence number. Used as part of the security scheme.

Payload

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.

9.4 Types

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; 
CommandDescription
0eType_nullThis is a null command and should not be sent to the server.
1eType_informInforms are similar to SNMP traps. They are sent from the managed device to the manager on a periodic basis.
2eType_commandsUsed to control and query the managed device.

9.5 Descriptors

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.

typedef enum { eInform_null,
    eInform_outletStatus,
    eInform_auxRelayStatus,
    eInform_lineVoltage,
    eInform_lineCurrent,
    eInform_linePower,
    eInform_ouletCurrent,
    eInform_outletPower,
    eInform_sysStatus,
    eInform_poll,
    eInform_overVoltager,
    eInform_underVoltage,
    eInform_overCurrent,
    eInform_overTemperature,
