...via LAN

To connect to the NetGuardian LT G2 via LAN, all you need is the unit's IP address (Default IP
address is 192.168.1.100).
If you DON'T have LAN, but DO have physical access to the NetGuardian LT G2, connect using a LAN
crossover cable. NOTE: Newer PCs should be able to use a standard straight-through LAN cable and handle the
crossover for you. To do this, you will temporarily change your PC's IP address and subnet mask to match the
NetGuardian's factory default IP settings. Follow these steps:
1. Get a LAN crossover cable and plug it directly into the NetGuardian LT G2's LAN port.
2. Look up your PC's current IP address and subnet mask, and write this information down.
3. Reset your PC's IP address to 192.168.1.200.
4. Reset your PC's subnet mask to 255.255.0.0. You may have to reboot your PC to apply your changes.
5. Once the IP address and subnet mask of your computer coincide with the unit, you can access the
NetGuardian LT G2 via a Telnet session or via Web browser by using the unit's default IP address of
192.168.1.100.
6. Provision the NetGuardian LT G2 with the appropriate information, then change your computer's IP
address and subnet mask back to their original settings
