Hardware Installation Tools Needed To install the NetGuardian, you'll need the following tools: Phillips No. 2 Screwdriver Small Standard No. 2 Screwdriver Wire Strippers/Cutter PC with terminal-emulating software (i.e. HyperTerminal) Mounting The NetGuardian can be flush or rear-mounted The NetGuardian mounts in a 19" rack or a 23" rack using the provided rack ears for each size. Two rack ear locations are provided.
Power Connection The NetGuardian 240T is powered by two barrier plug power connectors. Power connectors and fuses To connect the NetGuardian to a power supply, follow these steps: 1. Always use safe power practices when making power connections. Be sure to remove fuses from the fuse distribution panel, as well as the back of the NetGuardian, before making your power connections.
Fig. 5.4.1. Chart of Ethernet and T1 WAN Connections The NetGuardian 240T has a 10/100 BaseT Ethernet hub for connecting through LAN. To connect the NetGuardian to the LAN, insert a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable into one of the Ethernet ports.

50-pin connectors labeled "Discretes 1–16 / Analogs 1–4 / Relays 1–2" and "Discretes 17–40" on the back panel. Note: Analog channels are a build option for the NetGuardian 240T. Your NetGuardian 240T may not have user- definable analog inputs.
Discrete alarm points can connect as a dry contact or a contact to ground The NetGuardian 240T features up to 40 discrete alarm inputs (16 with 216T G2 Build Option) — also called "digital inputs" or "contact closures". Discrete alarms are either active or inactive, so they're typically used to monitor on/off conditions like power outages, equipment failures, door alarms and so The NetGuardian's discrete alarm points are single-lead signals referenced to ground.
D-Wire Sensor Inputs The port on your NetGuardian labeled D-Wire supports up to 16 D-Wire sensors. Your NetGuardian powers and communicates with your D-Wire sensors via simple RJ-11 connection. The max cable length depends on the number of sensors daisy chained together. The cable lengths and corresponding number of sensors can be seen in the table below.
TCP or UDP reach-through port. The NetGuardian can support simultaneous proxy connections for up to 5 users. Note: If connecting a NetGuardian DX to the NetGuardian 240T, use cable# D-PR-1032-10B-08 to connect the serial port to DX IN port of the expansion unit.
Optional 66 Block Connector The 50-pin connectors on the back panel of the NetGuardian can be connected to the optional 25-pair 66 Block Connector (part number D-PR-966-10A-00). Note: If connecting to a 50-pair split block, all connections should be made on the two pin columns closest to the right-hand side of the block or bridge clips should be installed.

Connecting to the NetGuardian 12.1 ... via Craft Port NetGuardian Craft Port The simplest way to connect to the NetGuardian is over a physical cable connection between your PC's COM port and the NetGuardian's craft port. Use the DB9M-DB9F download cable provided with your NetGuardian to make a craft port connection. Select the following COM port options: •...
12.2 ... via LAN LAN Ports You can also connect to the NetGuardian over a LAN connection. This is a very convenient way to provision multiple NetGuardian units at multiple locations. To connect to the NetGuardian via LAN, all you need is the unit's IP address (Default IP address is 192.168.1.100).
12.3 ... via WAN NetGuardian WAN Link Once WAN settings are provisioned, you can also connect to the NetGuardian over a WAN connection by connecting to the T1 WAN port. Note: You don't have to be connected to a NetGuardian unit to use NGEdit. You only need a connection to the unit to read or write configuration files to its NVRAM.
NetGuardian's TTY interface via SSH session. If you are unsure as to whether or not your NetGuardian is equipped with hardware acceleration, reference your NetGuardian's model number (D-PK-...) and contact support@dpstele.com. DPS Telecom recommends using PuTTY to access the TTY interface via SSH session. To establish an SSH session with your NetGuardian using PuTTY: · Open Putty ·...
13.2 Unit Configuration 13.2.1 Ethernet Port Setup The NetGuardian must be assigned an IP address before you will be able to connect via LAN/WAN using a Telnet client or a Web browser. To connect via LAN, the minimum configuration requires setup of the IP address and subnet mask.
NetGuardian, local authentication will not be valid. 13.2.2 Tune 202 Modem Tuning the 202 modem on a NetGuardian 240T can only be done from the TTY interface (using either HyperTerminal through the front craft port or by telnet over LAN on port 2002).
13.2.3 RADIUS Configuration RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) is an industry-standard way to manage logins to many different types of equipment in one central location. The NetGuardian connects to your central RADIUS server. Every time a device receives a login attempt (usually a username & password), it requests an authentication from the RADIUS server.
RADIUS logon screen prompts for a Username and Password. 13.2.4 TTY Command Mode This command line mode offers an alternate way of configuring the NetGuardian 240T. This interface is scriptable, and is recommended for advanced users. Entries are NOT case sensitive.
