... via LAN

You can also connect to the NetGuardian over a LAN connection. This is a very convenient way to provision
multiple NetGuardian units at multiple locations.
To connect to the NetGuardian via LAN, all you need is the unit's IP address (Default IP address is
192.168.1.100).
Note: NET is defaulted to 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
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 12.1, "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. Follow these steps:
1. Look up your PC's current IP address and subnet mask, and write this information down.
2. Reset your PC's IP address to 192.168.1.200.
3. Reset your PC's subnet mask to 255.255.0.0. You may have to reboot your PC to apply your changes.
4. Once the IP address and subnet mask of your computer coincide with the NetGuardian's, you can access
the NetGuardian via a Telnet session or via Web browser by using the NetGuardian's default IP address
of 192.168.1.100.
5. Provision the NetGuardian with the appropriate information, then change your computer's IP address and
subnet mask back to their original settings.
