Connecting to the NetGuardian

10.1

... via 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. You only need a connection to the unit to read or write configuration files to its
NVRAM. You can use Edit216F on an unconnected PC to create and store NetGuardian configuration files.
Use the DB9M-DB9F download cable provided with your NetGuardian to make a craft port connection.
You can perform all configuration tasks via the craft port with Edit216F — but if you like, you can connect via the
craft port just to configure the NetGuardian's Private LAN IP address, and then do the rest of your configuration via a
LAN connection.
10.2

... via LAN

Once LAN settings are provisioned, you can connect to the NetGuardian over a LAN connection by connecting to
one of the seven 10/100/1000BaseT Ethernet switch ports. This is a very convenient way to provision multiple
NetGuardian units at multiple locations. Note: You don't have to be connected to a NetGuardian unit to use
Edit216F. You only need a connection to the unit to read or write configuration files to its NVRAM. You can use
Edit216F on an unconnected PC to create and store NetGuardian configuration files.
To connect to the NetGuardian via LAN, all you need is the unit's IP address (Default IP address is
192.168.1.100).
If you have physical access to the NetGuardian, the easiest thing to do is connect to the unit through the craft
NetGuardian Craft Port
