Quick Start: How to Connect to the NetGuardian 224A
7
Most NetGuardian 224A 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.
Alternative option: You can skip the TTY interface by using a LAN crossover cable directly from your PC to the
NetGuardian 224A and access its Web Browser.
