    There is no routing between Net 1 and Net 2, this ensures that both connections are independent of each other. By default, outbound data traffic from the NetGuardian 832A will be sent over Net 2. Only outbound data that is specifically directed to Net 1, usually the Company's LAN, will be sent to Net 1. To use both network interfaces, be sure Net1 and Net2 are on separate Subnet Masks.
