Configuring the Data Port

Data port settings can be configured in the Edit menu > Ports screen.
Use the following steps to define your data port settings:
From the Ports window, scroll down to the Data Port section (see Figure 2.4.7).
1.
2. Under the options heading, enter in the appropriate number of NetGuardian Discrete Expansions (1-3)
installed.* Entering zero disables these options.
3. Enter a description for the port with a connected device. The communication settings for the port can be
configured for baud rate, word format and to ignore or remove CR/LF (carriage return/line feed) characters
in either the input or output data stream.
4. Advanced settings can also be configured when you select an appropriate data port type. See Section 2.4.7.1
to select the appropriate data port type setting for your application.

Hot Tip!
NGDdx is an abbreviation for "NetGuardian Expansion." Expansion units enable you to scale from 16 base
alarms and 2 base relays to a maximum of 160 alarms and 26 relays.
Note: If you have the serial expansion board installed, you will see 5 serial ports instead of one.

Data Port Types

The NetGuardian 216T's data port can be configured with different functions:
TCP
Makes reach-through available at TCP ports (Telnet).
RTCP
Raw TCP (negates Telnet negotiation). The RTCP (Raw TCP Data Port) negates Telnet negotiation and will
allow all characters (including [FF]) to pass straight through from IP to serial or serial to IP.
PTCP
