    Connecting to the NetGuardian 10.1 ... 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. Note: You must be connected via craft port to use the TTY interface, but you don't have to be connected to a NetGuardian unit to use Edit216F.
  • Page 25 port and then assign it an IP address. Then you can complete the rest of the unit configuration over a remote LAN connection, if you want. For instructions, see section: "Connecting to the NetGuardian via Craft Port." If you DON'T have physical access to the NetGuardian, you can make a LAN connection to the unit by temporarily changing your PC's IP address and subnet mask to match the NetGuardian's factory default IP settings.
