INTRODUCTION
The SurgeX
®
iControl SX-1115ip-X (SX-1120ip-X) is a single rack-space, 120V, 15 (20) amp,
AC power conditioner that can be controlled over a network or the internet. The iControl
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 home
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 iControl, or multiple iControls in a cluster configuration.
Up to 16 iControls can be linked together and controlled from a single web or CLI interface. One
master iControl provides the communication to the users and continuously receives status
information from the rest of the iControls in the cluster. Up to 128 outlets can be controlled in
this manner from one IP address.
Multiple outlets, across multiple iControls 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, with 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 administrator 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 and total current draw.
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), Phone
connection (RJ-11), and Expansion Ports for cluster configurations.
