computer anywhere in your network.

technicians in the field, even when no one's in the office.
Connect via LAN to telecom switches, servers, radios and more
Each of the NetGuardian's eight serial ports can be individually configured to serve as a craft port, a channel port
or a TCP or UDP reach-through port, giving you LAN-based terminal server access to up to 4 serial devices.
NEW - RADIUS Authentication
Take the security of your alarm remotes to the next level with RADIUS authentication. N
420 can interact with your RADIUS server, integrating it as part of your enterprise management.
Reports to multiple SNMP managers and T/Mon NOC simultaneously
The NetGuardian reports to both the T/Mon NOC Alarm Monitoring System and any SNMP manager. You can
simultaneously forward alarms from the NetGuardian to T/Mon NOC and multiple SNMP managers at multiple IP
addresses. Alarms can also be configured to dispatch to one, some, or all SNMP managers.
