TTY Interface

The TTY interface initial configuration screen
The TTY interface is the NetGuardian's built-in provision controls for basic configuration of the NetGuardian.
Configure the NetGuardian's ethernet port settings, monitor the status of base and system alarms, operate control
relays, view live ping targets , view debug or create proxy connections to other ports.
To use the TTY interface with the NetGuardian, all you need is any PC with terminal emulation software (i.e.
Hyperterminal) and a connection to the NetGuardian. This connection can be a direct connection to the
NetGuardian's front panel craft port or a remote connection via Telnet or dial-up
Some initial software configuration must be performed before you can use a remote connection to the
NetGuardian. For Telnet, connect to the Net Guardian's IP address at port 2002 to access the configuration menus
after initial LAN/WAN setup. Telnet sessions are established at port 2002, not the standard Telnet port
as an added security measure.
The TTY interface is primarily used for configuring and provisioning the NetGuardian, but you can also use it to
ping IP targets, view system statistics, and data port activity.
NOTE: The TTY default password is "dpstelecom".
Menu Shortcut Keys

option. Pressing the ESC key will always bring you back to the previous level. Entries are not case sensitive.

Ethernet Port Setup

The NetGuardian must be assigned an IP address before you will be able to connect via LAN/WAN using a
Telnet client or a Web browser. To connect via LAN, the minimum configuration requires setup of the IP address
and subnet mask. Minimum WAN configuration requires that the default gateway be set as well. Follow the
instructions below to configure the NetGuardian's IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, trap address, SNMP
port number, proxy base, and DHCP option.
