Connecting to the NetGuardian via Craft Port

Fig. 12.1.1. NetGuardian-16S's Top Craft Port
The simplest way to connect to the NetGuardian-16S is over a physical cable connection between your PC's
COM port and the NetGuardian-16S top craft port.
Note: You must be connected via the top craft port to use the TTY interface, but you don't have to be connected
to a NetGuardian-16S unit to use Edit16S. You only need a connection to the unit to read or write configuration
files to its NVRAM. You can use Edit16S on an unconnected PC to create and store NetGuardian-16S
configuration files.
Use the DB9M-DB9F download cable provided with your NetGuardian-16S to make the top craft port
connection.
Select the following COM port options:
• Bits per second: 9600
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow control: None
When a connection is established (sometimes accompanied by receipt of a hex byte), type DPSCFG, then press
Enter to activate the configuration menu.
You can perform all configuration tasks via the craft port — but if you like, you can connect via the craft port
just to configure the NetGuardian-16S's Private LAN IP address, and then do the rest of your configuration via a
LAN connection.xt here.
