1. Introduction
The SurgeX Defender Series+ is an AC power distribution unit with power conditioning, control, and monitoring, with independently IP switchable AC receptacles and current monitoring for the inlet. Design for mounting on the rack. The internal web server provides configuration, output control, monitoring, and retrieval of data logs. Multiple security and communication interface options are supported.
Defender Series+ incorporates SurgeX Multistage surge suppression and EMI/RFI filtering technology. This protection safeguards the AC outlets.
The extensive programming capabilities of the Defender Series+ provides advanced sequencing and scheduling operations. Triggers can be programmed to activate on an "if X then do Y, then do Z when no longer X" basis. Trigger sources include various AC power measurements, scheduling, and AutoPing. Actions include turning receptacles on and off, cycling a receptacle, executing previously defined sequences, and putting a unit into shutdown. For example, an action can be created to power cycle a network appliance if it fails to respond to a series of pings.

We always suggest using encryption when using LDAP.
The base point in the directory tree where the user distinguished name search will begin.

User DN

The distinguished name of a user that will be used to authenticate. Multiple users are

supported by using macros. For example, in the above image, the username test User attempts

to log in, and the User DN pulls the name "Test User" from the user's definition for use in the

authentication to replace the string %Full Name%.

TLS Require Cert This specifies how to handle server certificates during TLS negotiations. Never: the client never

asks the server for a certificate. Allow: the client will ask for a certificate; if none is provided,

the session proceeds normally. If a certificate is provided but the client is unable to verify it, the

certificate is ignored and the session proceeds normally, as if no certificate had been provided.

Try: the certificate is requested, and if none is provided, the session proceeds normally. If a

certificate is provided and it cannot be verified, the session is immediately terminated.

Demand: the certificate is requested, and a valid certificate must be provided, otherwise the

session is immediately terminated.

4.4.4 Triggers Setup The Triggers Setup page allows for the modification of triggers. Triggers define event logging parameters and allow configuration to automatically control and protect connected equipment. Triggers are categorized into three types: AutoPing, Threshold with Samples, and Schedule, but all have the same possible actions. Actions can either be on the onset (Trigger/Alarm Actions) or offset (Clear Actions) of a trigger. All Triggers are logged along with the associated actions.

Trigger Types
Item Threshold with Samples AutoPing Schedule

Description
Uses measurements over an allotted time to take an action. This trigger type is configurable to act very quickly or very slowly depending on environmental/system needs. Issues a ping function on a periodic basis to determine if an IP asset is accessible.
Uses the device time to issue a one time or periodic command. We suggest ensuring the NTP server is updating correctly to use the schedule trigger.

Action Types Item None
Power On Power Off Reboot

Description
Do not take any action; only log the event. This is useful as a Clear Action when an action should persist, or for both Alarm and Clear actions when just logging the event is desired. Power on a specific outlet if the outlet configuration allows it. Power off a specific outlet if the outlet configuration allows it. Reboot a specific outlet if the outlet configuration allows it. If an outlet is already off when this command is issued, the outlet will simply turn on after the outlet specific reboot delay time.

Run Sequence Enter Shutdown State
Clear Shutdown State

Run a specific sequence. Put the device into a shutdown state. This state turns off all outlets (unless they are configured for always on). The only way to clear a shutdown state, is another trigger, a button on the web interface, or a REST API command.
Clear the device's shutdown state. Clearing the device's shutdown state will cause the outlets to follow the logic defined by the On Shutdown Clear setting.

4.4.4.1 Threshold with Samples
The Threshold with Samples trigger uses several measurements to decide when to act. The trigger can be configured to act quickly or slowly, depending on the number of measurement samples used. A new sample is available every 50ms, with the minimum samples being used for a trigger being 1 sample and the maximum being 20 samples. Threshold with Samples triggers are evaluated every time a new sample is available. Based on the below "New Trigger" example below, the trigger will alarm or turn on after 5 of any consecutive 10 samples are above 140V.

User Manual
4.4.5 Users Setup
The Users Setup page allows for the creation, deletion, and editing of user accounts. Each user will have a unique name, username, authentication mode, and may be assigned access to specific features.
LDAP and Internal authentication modes are supported.
The following privileges may be assigned or revoked as necessary:
· Trigger Config · Device Control · Network Settings · Software Update · User Administration

4.4.6 Sequences Setup
The Sequences Setup page allows for the creation and modification of sequences. A sequence is a set of actions to be taken in a specific order and with a specified delay time between each step. Using sequences avoids manually performing each action or turning each outlet on or off individually.
A sequence, as defined for this product, is purely a one-way sequence. That is, you do not use the same sequence to turn outlets on as you use to turn the same outlets off in reverse order. One sequence must be created for the turn-on function and then a second sequence must be created for the turn-off function.
To create a new sequence, press the "Add Sequence" button. The new sequence must be given a unique name. This name should clearly indicate what the sequence will do, such as "All On", "All Off", or "Stage Equipment On".
To run a sequence to test it, press "Run Sequence". To edit an existing sequence, press the pencil icon. To delete a sequence, press the minus "-" icon.

User Manual
After a sequence has been saved, it will be available at the Sequences page and when creating or editing a trigger when run sequence is selected as an action.
*Time delay is specified from the previous sequence item, not from the initial starting point. For example, creating a sequence with "Step 1, 1 second, Outlet 1, On" and "Step 2, 1 second, Outlet 2, On" will turn on Outlet 1 after 1 second, and Outlet 2 on 1 second after Outlet 1 has turned on. This sequence will not turn on both Outlets 1 and 2 at the same time.
Sequence Actions: · None (useful for additional time delays) · State Change o On, Off, or Reboot

5. Security
Defender Series+ has been designed with security as a priority. All ports and features may be changed or disabled.
5.1 Authentication Defender Series+ supports basic and secure authentication for users and network connections.
5.1.1 802.1X 802.1X network authentication may be enabled for networks requiring supplicant authentication. 5.1.2 SSO (Single Sign-On) Defender Series+ users may be configured to use either Internal or SSO (Single Sign-On) authentication. Internal authentication uses basic usernames and passwords assigned by the administrator on a per-unit basis. SSO authentication uses LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) to authorize users and determine their level of privileges using Microsoft® Active Directory. While it is possible to use LDAP to authorize users without SSL encryption, we suggest only configuring the connection to the authentication server using SSL encryption to plain text network traffic. 5.2 Interfaces
5.2.1 Network Interface · Web Server: It is possible to enable and disable the internal web server, change the security from none
(HTTP) to TLS 1.2 (HTTPS), as well as change its port. These settings also apply to the REST API. · SNMP: SQUID supports SNMP V3 for secure communications with the ability to enable and disable.
