Configuring the NetGuardian
The NetGuardian must be provisioned with log-on passwords, alarm descriptions, port parameters, ping targets,
control descriptions, and other system information. You can provision the NetGuardian using either the Edit216F
software or the Web interface. The NetGuardian also supports a limited TTY interface for configuring some basic
options. (For full instructions on configuring the NetGuardian, see the software configuration guides on the
NetGuardian Resource CD.)
You can provision the NetGuardian either locally through the craft port or remotely through a LAN connection.
However, to access the NetGuardian via LAN you must first make a temporary connection to the NetGuardian and
assign it an IP address on your network. For more information, see Section 10, "Connecting to the NetGuardian."
