In the Building Access System, the NetGuardian ENV operates independently of an RTU With the NetGuardian ENV, you can cheaply and easily add individual doors to your building access system to control building access at small sites where you don't have or need an RTU. This allows you to extend building access functionality to sites that would've otherwise been unmonitored or controlled by a completely separate system.

NetGuardian ENV Overview In "Standalone" mode, the NetGuardian ENV can control door access without receiving access information from T/Mon Specialized Door Control Modes "Magnetic Door Mode" - This configurable mode may be used with doors equipped with magnetic door locks. In this mode, the door will remain magnetically locked until unlocked via proxy card scan, Request-to-Exit button, or motion sensor.

The compact NetGuardian ENV alerts you of changing conditions 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, either to your cell or SNMP manager. The NetGuardian ENV is the cost-effective way to stay proactive in your monitoring.

Basic Unit Configuration Basic Unit Configuration To configure your NetGuardian ENV, you must first provision the unit with an IP Address. You will configure the unit's IP address, subnet mask, and gateway, via the NetGuardian ENV's TTY interface, accessed via HyperTerminal (or a similar terminal emulator) over a serial connection.

Quick Start: How to Connect to the NetGuardian ENV Most NetGuardian ENV 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.

RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) is an industry-standard way to manage logins to many different types of equipment in one central location. The NetGuardian ENV connects to your central RADIUS server. Every time a device receives a login attempt (usually a username & password), it requests an authentication from the RADIUS server.

ECU can still report door violations and access if being polled by T/Mon.) · Do not use internal profiles, and use TMon profiles only configures the NetGuardian ENV to ignore its internal profiles. If T/Mon's database has not yet been downloaded, been purged (see the System section for details on purging the BAC database), or corrupted, an ECU operating in this mode will essentially make a door inaccessible.
Page 88
From the BAC Profiles screen, you can manage up to 32 internal profiles for valid door access. Note: By default, the NetGuardian ENV's internal profiles will be used to validate door access only when not configured with T/Mon. These profiles are not databased in T/Mon unless you do so manually. You can alter the NetGuardian ENV's behavior for determining when to utilize its own internal profiles to validate door access from the BAC Globals screen.
