SA-82-AR User Manual
_________________________________________________________________________________________
I. Introduction
The SurgeX® SA-82-AR is a network attached, IP addressed, web-controlled AC surge protector and power
conditioner. The SA-82-AR may be used to switch up to 8A at 120V. The simple web server structure allows
basic control of two outlets. The extensive programming and setup capabilities are accessed by a web browser,
through a Device Management Utility (DMU), or through a Command Line Interface (CLI).
• The SA-82-AR features SurgeX® Series Mode® surge protection, Impedance
Tolerant EMI/RFI filtering and Over-Voltage Shutdown.
• Remote reboot any device: monitors, routers, servers, kiosks, etc. The remote device need not be
network attached.
• Conserve energy by powering down equipment when not in use.
• Telnet access uses the Command Line Interface (CLI) structure and syntax to completely configure and
control the SA-82-AR. This Axess Ready (AR) device also supports the DxP protocol, which allows
software developers to integrate the unit into custom applications.
• Up to 2 systems can be continuously monitored with AutoPing,with automatic power control upon loss
of contact. Reboot crashed systems or provide auto power-up, or - down for environmental controls and
notification systems.
• The SA-82-AR utilizes 2 levels of password security, with only the administrative account having access to
setup and configuration.
Located on the rear panel are the input IEC power plug, network connection (RJ-45), 8A circuit breaker, and output
receptacles.
The front panel contains the Outlet On LED, Self-Test LED, System On LED, and Reset button.

II. Installation
1. Ethernet Connection
The RJ45 connector for 10/100 Ethernet is situated on the rear panel beside
the input power plug. The default IP Address is DHCP assigned. The fallback IP
address is 192.168.1.254.
2. AC Power Connections
Connect the device to be powered On and Off to the output duplex receptacle.
Ensure that the total combined load of all controlled devices does not exceed 8
Amps.
Connect one end of the supplied power cord to the connector labeled “AC Input”,
and the other end to a properly grounded AC outlet.
3. LED Indicators
The green Self-Test LED indicates that the internal surge protection circuitry is
fully functional. The red Outlet On LED indicates that power is being supplied to
the two receptacles.
The red System On LED indicates that the Axess system is On. This indicator will turn off if the AC voltage rises above
145V, and AC power will be removed from the output receptacles in order to protect connected equipment. When
the AC voltage returns to below 135V, power will automatically be restored to the output receptacles and the System
On LED will turn on.

III. Initial Set-Up
1. Device Management Utility (DMU)
The SurgeX Device Management Utility (DMU) provides the
easiest means to find and configure your AR for use. The DMU
can:
1. Automatically discover multiple ARs on a local
network.
2. Display the current IP address of each AR.
3. Allow the setting of a new IP address for each AR.
4. Perform firmware upgrades.
5. Return an AR to Factory Defaults.
The SurgeX Device Management Utility is available on the
SurgeX website at http://www.surgex.com
Note: The IP address can only be set within the first
2 minutes after powering up the AR. The utility will only work with
ARs on the same local subnet as the PC.
Device
Discover: Automatically discover all ARs on the local
network. The DMU will display the location name
of the AR, the product ID and version number, the
current IP address, and the MAC address. Factory
defaulted ARs will display with the name Axess
Ready and have an IP address that was
automatically assigned by the DHCP server on your
network.
The IP address field also indicates the port
for web access that is currently in use by
the AR. The standard port for web
browser accessibility is factory
default Port 80.
Add: Manually add an AR by IP address.
Clear: Clear the list.

V. Web Server
The Axess Ready web interface provides the easiest means of operating the outlet and changing
configuration parameters.
To access the web interface, open a web browser and enter the IP address of the AR into the address bar.
1. Password
The AR uses two username/password credential sets, one for normal power control (user)
and one that also provides access to the Setup functions (admin). Default
credentials:
Enter a valid username and password when prompted. When the proper
username/password combination is received, the Control and Status Page is
displayed.
2. Control and Status Page
Once a user is validated, the Control and Status page is displayed.
Note: Only one user may be logged in to the AR at a time.
Press “Power On”or “Power Off”to turn the AC output On or Off. In the event
of a power outage, the AC output will return to its last known
state prior to the outage.
Press “Cycle Power” to temporarily change the state of the
AC output for a specified cycle time (factory default is 10
seconds). The cycle operation performed will either be On-Off-On or Off-On-
Off, depending on the initial state of the AC output. During the power cycle operation, the Power Status bar will
indicate the temporary status with a Blue background. Once the cycle is complete, the
status bar will revert to its original condition. To abort a power cycle, press either “Power On”
or “Power Off” and the outlets will assume that status.
Use the Refresh button to update the page with the most current status. Use of the browser’s refresh button
may lead to inadvertent power switching. If an NTP time server is being used, the time of the last refresh will be
displayed in the upper right corner, as well as History log below the Power Status

3. Setup Pages
Setup pages are only available while logged in with Administrator credentials. Press Save to save the new settings.
If the new settings require the AR to be rebooted, a Reboot button will appear at the bottom of the page. Settings
requiring reboot will not take effect until the unit is rebooted.
Device
Location ID: Specifies a name label (up to 20 characters) that will be displayed at the top of all pages.
Assigning unique names is helpful for management of multiple units.
Cycle Time: Specifies the length in seconds of a power cycle (1-999 seconds). This is the amount of time
the outlet will temporarily be On or Off, depending on the initial outlet state.
Disable Off: When checked, removes the Power OFF button from the Status and Control page.
Initial State: Specifies the initial state the AC outlet(s) will assume when the unit is powered up or reset.
Upgrade Enable: Enables the ability to upgrade the firmware of the AR.
Auto Logout: Specifies the inactivity timer duration in minutes (0-99 minutes). If there is no activity after the
specified amount of time, the user will be automatically logged out. Setting the timer duration to 0 disables the
timeout feature.
Enable Security Timeout: When unchecked, disables the 2 minute window for setting IP address and factory
defaults via DMU.
Important: As the AR allows only one web user logged in at any time, use caution when
disabling the timeout feature, as it is possible to lock out other users by forgetting to log
out. Closing the web browser will not log the user out, and may lock out web access. In this
situation it will be necessary to access the AR via telnet and reboot the unit.

AutoPing
The AutoPing feature allows the AR to automatically detect failed equipment and perform a timed
reboot or other power control function (like turning on an indicator or siren). First specify one or two IP
addresses to be periodically pinged. When the AR no longer receives a response from these addresses, the
programmed power control function is actuated. AND or OR logic can be applied to the two addresses, so
that both (AND) or either (OR) must fail in order to trigger the selected action.
Examples:
Server monitor: AR is installed with the device it
monitors and automatically reboots if there is no
response. Ideal for Kiosks and Servers.
Service monitor: AR is installed with the device to be
rebooted, but pings a remote host to test the
communication channel. Ideal for DSL/Cable Modem
verification.
AR monitors a network device, and powers up an alarm
or redundant system when there is no response. Ideal for
Hot Standby Servers, Environmental Control, Alert for
any network failure.
• IP Address 1 and 2: Enter the IP
address(es) of the device(s) to be pinged.
• Frequency 1 and 2: Enter the desired ping frequency in seconds for the device(s) to be pinged (1-
999 seconds).
• Fail Count 1 and 2: Enter the number of times the ping must consecutively fail
(1-999) before the selected action is triggered.
• Mode: Select the logic to be used (AND, OR, or Single). With AND logic, both AutoPings must
exceed their fail count to trigger the action. With OR logic, the action will be triggered if either
AutoPing exceeds its fail count. With Single, only AutoPing 1 is used.

Power Off –Follow
Upon triggering, AR will power off. When the ping
response returns, AR will power on.
Power Cycle
Upon triggering, AR will cycle the power. AR will then
wait for (Ping Frequency x Fail Count) seconds; if the response does
not return, the power will be cycled again. This will repeatedly
continue until the ping response returns or AutoPing is turned off.
Ensure that the AutoPing frequency is longer than the time
required to reboot the device.
Power Cycle - Once
Upon triggering, AR will cycle power one time. It will not cycle again
automatically until the ping response returns and is lost again.
• Restart: This setting delays the restart of the AutoPing tests after the Action is completed. This
setting allows time for the boot sequence of the failed device to complete.

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

2. Hello Handshake
The client sends a Hello message in the form of a text string ‘hello-000’. The DxP enabled device 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.
