Quick Start: How to Connect to the NetGuardian
Most NetGuardian users find it easiest to give the unit an IP address, subnet and gateway through the
front craft port (TTY interface) to start. Once these settings are saved and you reboot the unit, you can
access it over LAN to do the rest of your databasing via the Web Browser interface.
Alternative option: You can skip the TTY interface by using a LAN crossover cable directly from your
PC to the NetGuardian and access its Web Browser. See Section 7.2.
7.1
...via Craft Port (using TTY Interface)
The simplest way to connect to the NetGuardian is over a physical cable connection between your
PC's USB port and the unit's USB craft port. Note: You must be connected via craft port or Telnet
to use the TTY interface. Make sure you are using a standard A-B USB cable (this same cable is
commonly used for USB printers) to make a USB craft port connection. We'll be using
HyperTerminal to connect to the unit in the following example - however, most terminal-emulating
programs are also compatible.
