3.
The iControl hardware (includes the latest firmware pre-installed).
Initial set-up steps:
1.
Disconnect your computer from the current network connection and set the computer to a
temporary IP address of “192.168.1.1”. Make a note of your computer’s original IP
settings.
2.
Connect a network crossover cable between the computer and the iControl hardware (the
iControl must also be connected to ac power).
3.
Open a web browser and type the following address in the address bar:
http://192.168.1.199
4.
Login to the iControl web interface by selecting “Admin” from the drop down bar and
use the following password: admin
5.
Navigate to the “Setup” menu and select “Network”.

The iControl should automatically reboot with the updated network settings. If it does
not, perform a manual reboot by pressing and holding the front panel reset button until
the LEDs turn off (approximately 1 second) or by cycling power to the unit.

INSTALLATION
The SurgeX iControl 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, 20 amp wall or floor receptacle. Do not plug the
unit into a relocatable power tap.
120 Volt Connections
The iControl has a total of 8 receptacles. Each receptacle is rated for a maximum load of 15
amps, but the total load of the SX1115iP (SX1120iP) must not exceed 15 (20) amps. Plug the
equipment cords into the receptacles as needed. Each receptacle is numbered 1 through 8. This
same numbering is used in the control interface. The equipment that draws the largest current
should be plugged into receptacles 1 and 2, and SurgeX ICE should be enabled. This will prevent
large inrush currents when either of these two receptacles is turned on.
