TTY Interface 13
Fig. 13.1. 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. For more advanced configuration tools, please use the Web Browser Interface or the NGEditG5
utility.
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".
