I. Introduction
The SurgeX
® Axess SX-AX15/SX-AX20 is a single rack-space, 120V, 15/20 Amp, AC power
conditioner that can be controlled over a network or the internet. The Axess incorporates
SurgeX
Advanced Series Mode ® power conditioning and surge elimination, as well as SurgeX
Impedance Tolerant ® EMI/RFI filtering. The simple web server structure allows basic control of
the outlets (and groups of outlets) and viewing of status information all from the Device View
page. The extensive programming and setup capabilities are accessed by a Setup and Control
Utility (SCU) or through a Command Line Interface (CLI).
Telnet and serial access use the same Command Line Interface (CLI) structure and syntax to
completely configure the Axess or multiple Axess units in a cluster configuration.
Up to 16 Axess units can be linked together and controlled from a single web or CLI interface.
One master Axess provides the communication to the users and continuously receives status
information from the rest of the Axess units in the cluster. Up to 128 outlets can be controlled in
this manner from one IP address.
Multiple outlets, across multiple Axess units in clustered configurations, can be linked together
in named groups and managed together. This allows, for example, power cycling all devices of
a certain type together.
Up to 16 systems can be continuously monitored with AutoPing, enabling automatic power
control upon loss of contact. Reboot crashed systems or provide auto power-up or –down for
environmental controls and notification systems.
Up to 16 users can be assigned administrative or user only rights, plus access to specific outlets
and groups. Users only see the outlets and groups they are assigned to.
The eight rear-mounted receptacles can each be individually controlled.
The metering includes the AC line Voltage, total Current draw, total Power draw, and total
Energy usage.
