II. Installation
Physical
Compact Mount (CM) products are designed to rest on a flat surface or to be mounted onto a flat
surface, such as a wall. To mount the CM product, use six 6-32 Phillips pan head screws
(included) to attach the removable mounting brackets (included) to the sides of the product.
The base unit input power cord length is 9’.
Ethernet Connection
The RJ45 connector for 10/100 Ethernet is situated on the front
panel above the LED indicator array. The default IP Address is
192.168.1.254.
AC Power Connections
Connect the device(s) to be powered On and Off to the output
duplex receptacle.
Ensure that the total combined load of all controlled devices
does not exceed 15 (20) Amps (CM-1115-X-AR / CM-1120-X-AR).
Connect the attached power cord to a properly grounded 120VAC outlet. CM-1120-X-AR models
require a NEMA 5-20R outlet. Do not plug the unit into a re-locatable power tap.

IV. RemoteConnections
AXESS ON
The Axess Ready system is On. The AR system must be on
to enable hard-wired remote control connections.
POWER
The RT system is On and the line voltage is within bounds.
OVER/UNDER VOLTAGE
PROTECTION
The line voltage is above 145V or below 90V and the outlets
are Off.
REMOTE
A hard-wired remote control signal is active and the outlets
are On.
SELF-TEST
The internal surge protection circuitry is fully functional.
Remote control connections are wired to the green 7-pin plug-in Phoenix terminal block on the
front of the unit next to the power cord. The terminal block is shipped with a jumper wire
between pins 1 & 2 so that the unit can be used without a remote control connection. If you will
be using remote control you will first need to remove this jumper wire. You can unplug the
terminal block to make connections and after you have made the connections to the terminal
block, plug it back into the connector on the rear of the unit. Never solder (tin) wires before
inserting into a terminal block – solder cold flows and you will eventually have loose
connections!
The connections are shown below:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Pin 1 – Contact Closure
Pin 2 – Contact Closure / Applied Voltage +
Pin 3 – Applied Voltage -
Pin 4 – Remote LED +
Pin 5 – Remote LED -
Pin 6 – Aux Relay Contact
Pin 7 – Aux Relay Contact
Control Inputs
The CM-X-AR products can be controlled by a DC voltage in the range of 5V to 30V, by a contact
closure (such as a relay), by a switch (latching), or by another SurgeX product such as the SEQ.
Switches with gold contacts are recommended for the best long-term reliability.
DC Voltage: The unit will power up when the voltage is present, and power down when
there is no voltage. Connect the positive wire to Pin 2 (Applied Voltage +), and the negative
wire to Pin 3 (Applied Voltage -). The positive and negative connections must be made with
the correct polarity for proper operation.

(continued)
Contact Closure/Latching Switch: The unit will power up when the contacts are closed, and
power down when the contacts are open. Connect the two wires from the contacts or switch to
Pin 1 (Contact Closure) and Pin 2 (Contact Closure / Applied Voltage +).
Outlet control requires a combination of Axess Ready (AR) control via IP and Remote Turn-
On/Off (RT) control via hard-wired connection. The following table will detail the LED and
outlet states during various operating conditions.

External LED Connections
The CM-X-AR products are able to drive external LEDs or other signaling devices through their 12V
DC output, which can provide up to 10mA of current. External LEDs connected in this way will be
On when the unit’s AC receptacles are On, and Off when they are Off. When connecting LEDs to
the 12V output, a series resistor is required. For example, many LEDs work well with 10mA of
current, so a 1KΩ resistor is usually a good choice. If more than one LED is required, then use a
separate series resistor for each LED. For example, two external LEDs, each with a 2kΩ series
resistor, could be powered from one unit at 5mA each.
Connect each LED anode to “Remote LED +” through a resistor, and the cathodes to
“Remote LED -”.
Auxiliary Relay Contacts
The auxiliary relay contacts, Pins 6 & 7, provide a way to cascade units or to provide
confirmation feedback to a central controller. When the receptacles are On, the aux relay
contacts are closed. There is a 1 second delay before the aux relay closes, which allows time for
the SurgeX Inrush Current Elimination (ICE™) circuit to operate. This short delay in combination
with the SurgeX ICE™ makes it unnecessary to sequence the power to several large loads
(such as amplifiers) because of inrush current. SurgeX CM-X-AR products, when cascaded, can
turn on a bank of large amplifiers with no inrush current, and therefore no risk of tripping a circuit
breaker.
To cascade two or more CM-X-AR products, connect the aux relay contacts of one unit to the
contact closure input of the next unit. To provide confirmation feedback, connect the aux relay
contacts to an input on the central controller. The relay contacts are rated for 1 amp at 30 V DC.

V. Initial Set-Up
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 AR CD or 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 New
SX- iPD and have either the factory
default IP address of 192.168.1.254
or an IP address that was
automatically assigned by the DHCP server on your network. If the IP address was
assigned by a DHCP server, no changes to the IP address are required.
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.

the same local network.
DMU: Follow the steps in the preceding subsection to set the IP address using the Device
Management Utility (DMU).
CLI: These are the basic commands to set the network parameters. After setting these
parameters, the AR will need to be rebooted for the settings to take effect. Any command that
requires rebooting of the AR will provide a prompt to do so. All commands may be entered as
required before rebooting. Manually specifying the IP address via CLI automatically sets the
address as static.

Axess Ready Reboot Required> set subnet 255.255.255.0
Ok
Axess Ready Reboot Required> set gateway 10.1.2.1
Ok
Axess Ready Reboot Required> reboot
The CLI command set ipmode dhcp followed by a reboot command may be
used to configure the AR to automatically acquire its network settings from a
DHCP server. A DHCP server will automatically assign an IP address (dynamic
address), as well as the Subnet Mask and Gateway.
To determine what IP address has been automatically assigned by the DHCP
server, you will need to use the Discover feature of the DMU or query your DHCP
server and locate the MAC address of the AR in the DHCP server’s IP/MAC
table.
Web: To set the IP address using a web browser, navigate to the current IP address of the AR
(192.168.1.254 if the unit is in a factory default state). Enter the administrator credentials (Factory
Default User: admin, Password: admin), click on “Setup”, then click on “Network” and follow the
directions in the Web Server/Network/Setup section of this manual.

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.
If the AutoPing feature is in use, this page will also display the current status (OK or Failed) for
each AutoPing, a counter of how many times the ping failed, and a counter of how many times the
defined action was triggered. Reset buttons for the Fail and Trigger counters are available for the
admin login.
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.

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.
•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

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
