NetGuardian Front Panel
6.1
USB Craft Port
Use the front-panel USB craft port to connect the NetGuardian to a PC for onsite unit configuration. To
connect via the USB craft port, use a standard A-B USB cable. This is the same type of cable used for
many USB printers.
6.2
D-Wire Sensor Input
The port on your NetGuardian labeled, "D-Wire" supports the connection of up to 32 D-Wire sensors.
The NetGuardian powers and communicates with your D-Wire sensors via straight-through RJ-11
cables.
Connecting D-Wire Sensors
Using a 6P4C, straight-through RJ-11 cable, connect the D-Wire sensor port on the NetGuardian to
the In jack on a D-Wire sensor. Chain additional sensors to the NetGuardian (using the same straight-
through cables) from the Out jack on the previous sensor to the In jack on the next (i.e. Out on sensor 4
to In on sensor 5).
Note: Some sensors may consume 2 of your NetGuardian's sensor channels (the combined temp/
humidity sensor, D-PK-DSNSR-12002, for example).
The Integrated temperature build option uses one of the maximum 32 sensors that are supported.
The D-Wire line of sensors includes temp/humidity, additional analogs, discretes, and more. Contact
DPS at 1-800-693-0351 for information about available D-Wire sensors.
For details about configuring your sensors though the web interface, see the Sensors section of this
manual.
