iControl Manual Setting the IP address using ARP / Ping The ARP / Ping technique uses a PC running a command line (DOS Window) to set the IP Address. To set the IP address using ARP, connect the iControl to your local network and apply power.
Manual 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.
iControl Manual LED INDICATORS There are two LED indicators located on the front panel. Their function is as follows: Self Test (Green): When illuminated, the surge suppression circuitry is functioning correctly. Power (Red): When illuminated, the iControl is connected to a live wall or floor outlet. WEB SERVER The iControl web interface provides the easiest means of operating the outlets and monitoring the current status of the units.
