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 USB 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 16A and access its Web Browser. See the "...via LAN" section of this chapter.

...via USB 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.
