LAN Connec tion6.4
For enhanced security, t he NetGua rdian G5 has two 10 / 100 Ethernet po rts. Ea ch p ort has its own separat e IP address and subn et, so you can safe ly conn ect one port to your private company L AN and the othe r t o the public I ntern et.
There is no ro uting bet we en Net 1 and Net 2, th is ensures that both con nections are independe nt of each other. By d efau lt, ou t bound da t a traff ic from the NetGuardian 832A wi ll be sent over Net 2. Only outbound da t a tha t is specifically directed to Net 1, usually t he Company's LAN, will be sent t o Net 1. To use bot h net wo rk interfaces, be sure Net1 and Net2 are on sep arate Subnet Masks.
To use o nly one o f t he network inte rf aces, set e ither Net1 or Net2 to IP add ress being u sed and set the unu sed network IP subnet an d gateway t o 255 . 255.255 . 0. If your NetGuardian ha s the 4-port hub build opti o n , u se N et 2 , whi ch is connected to the H u b . Both po rt s are stand ard RJ4 5 po rt s that ta k e standard RJ45 Ethe rn et cable s. I f the IP conne ctio n i s OK, the LN K LED will lig h t SOLID GREEN when t he cabl e is connected .
The NetGuardi an G5 un it with t he in t egrat ed switch comes with t wo physical 10/1 00 Ethernet ports. The standa rd G5 uni t wi t hout t he switch comes equipped with two physical E t herne t ports. The switch is internally t ied t o NET 2 and any one of it s four port s can be used fo r uplink.
Build Opti on: NetGuardian G 5 with G i gE Fiber Top Board
If your NetGuardian G5 was ordere d with t he G igE Fiber top bo ard, 1 000Ba se SFP inte rf ace must be used. The SFP p orts are in t ernally con nected t o the 4 port switch and NET 2.

Config u rin g th e NetGuardian11
The NetGuardi an must be p rovisio ned wi t h log -on passwords, al arm description s, port pa rameters, pin g targets, control descriptions, and othe r system in f ormation . You can p rovisio n the NetGu ardia n using either th e NGEditG 5 software o r t he Web in t erface. Th e N etGuardian a lso support s a l imited TT Y interface fo r con f iguri ng some basic opt ions. (For f ull instruction s on con f iguring the NetGua rdian, see the soft wa re configuration guid es on the NetG uardi an Resource CD.)
Y ou can p rovisio n the NetGu ardian ei t her locally t hrough the craft po rt or remotel y through a LAN connection. However, t o access the NetGu ardia n vi a LAN yo u must first make a temporary connection to th e N etGuardian a nd assign it an IP add ress on your network. For more inf ormation , see Section 12, "Connecting to th e N etGuardian."
RADIUS Authentication (Availab le as o f F irmware 5.0I)11.1
RADIUS a uthenticati on is now supporte d by any NetGu ardian G 5 platform (832A or 86 4A, with or witho ut hardware acceleration).
RADIUS (Remote A uthe ntication Dia l In User Servi ce) i s an industry-standard way to mana ge login s to many d ifferent types of equi pment in one cen t ral location . T he NetGua rdian 832 A / 864 A G5 connects to your central RADIUS serv er. Eve ry time a dev ice receiv es a login at t empt (usually a username & password), it requests an auth enti cation f ro m th e RADIUS server. If the username & password combinati o n is foun d in th e serve r's data ba se, a n a ffi rmati v e "a ccess gran te d " rep l y is sent back to th e uni t dev ice, all owin g the user to conn ect.
A lso included i n the reply are t he user's indivi dual access rights, so di f f erent users can b e granted diff erent privilege le vels. If t he user's log in at t empt is not found, a rejection is return ed instead. RADIUS config urati on for t he NetGua rdian will be achi eved vi a the we b browser interfa ce, NGEdi t G5 software utility, and/or TT Y interf ace. For d etails, see the sep arate user manuals for the NetGuardi an G5 web browser an d N GEditG5.
Connecting to th e NetGuardian12
... via Craft Port12.1
Fig. 12.1.1. NetGuardi an Craft Port
The simplest way to con nect to th e N etGuardian i s over a physical cab le conn ection betwee n yo ur PC's COM port and the NetG u ardi an's craft port.
Note: You must be connected via craft p ort to u se the TTY interf ace, but you don't have to b e connected to a NetGuardi an unit to use NGEditG5. You only need a con nection t o the unit t o read or write config urati on files to it s NV RAM . You can u se NGEditG5 on an unconnected PC to create and store
NetG uardi an configura t ion f iles. Use th e DB9M-DB9F down l oa d cable pro v i d e d wit h y o ur NetGua rd i an to make a craft po rt conn ectio n .
Select the following COM port options:
• Bits per second: 9600
• Data bits: 8
• Parity: None
• Stop bits: 1
• Flow contro l: None When a connectio n is establi she d (sometimes accompan i ed by recei pt of a h ex b y te ), ty p e DPSCFG,
press Enter to activ a te the confi gu ra ti o n menu. Th e de fa ul t p assword is 'dpstelecom' RADIUS: As of
firmware 5 . 0I, typi n g <CR> will prompt for a use rname and pa ssword.
Y ou can p erform basic config urati on via th e craft port — but i f you lik e, you can conn ect via t he craft port just to con f igure the NetGuardi an's Priva t e LAN IP address, and then do the rest of your configurati on via a LAN conn ection.

57
... via LAN12.2
Fig. 3.2.1. Ethernet port 1
Y ou can a lso connect to t he NetGua rdian over a LAN conn ection. T his is a very conv enient way to provision mul t iple NetGu ardian un its at multi ple l ocations. Note: You don't have to b e connected to a NetG uardi an unit to use NGEditG5. You only need a con nection t o the unit t o read or write con f iguration files to its N VRAM. Y ou can u se NGEditG5 on an unconnected PC to create and store NetGuardi an config urati on files.
To connect to the NetGuardian via LAN, all you need is the unit's IP address (Default IP address is 192. 168.1.10 0).
Note: NET1 is defaulted to 1 92.168.1 . 100 If you have physical access to th e NetGuardian, th e easiest th ing t o do i s connect to the uni t t hrough
the craft port a nd then assign it an IP add ress. Then y ou can complet e the rest of the unit con f igura t ion over a remote LAN conne ction, if you want. F or instructio ns, see Section 12.1, "Conn ecting to the NetG uardi an v ia Craft Port."
If y ou DON'T have physical access to the NetGuardian, you can make a LAN connection t o the unit by t emporari ly chan ging your PC's IP address and sub net mask to match the NetGua rdian's factory default IP setting s. Fo llow these steps:
1. Loo k up your PC's current IP add re ss and sub net mask, and write this in f ormation down.
2. Reset your PC's IP add ress to 192.168.1.200.
3. Reset your PC's subnet mask to 255.255.0.0. You may have to reboot y our PC to appl y your
changes.
4. Once the IP address and subne t mask o f your computer coincid e with t he NetGuardian's, you
can access the NetGu ardian via a T elne t session o r via Web browser by using the Ne tG uard ian 's defa ult I P address of 192.168.1.100.
5. Provision the NetGuardian with t he ap propriate info rmation, t hen cha nge your comput er's IP
add ress and subne t mask b ack to their o rigin al setti ngs.

General FAQs15.1
Q. How do I telnet to the NetGuardian? A. You must use Port 2002 to connect to t he NetGuardian. Conf igure your Teln et client to con nect
using T CP/IP (not "Telne t , " or an y other port opt ions). Fo r con nection information, ent er the IP add ress of the NetGua rdian and Port 20 02. Fo r exa mpl e, to connect to t he NetGuardian using t he standa rd Windows Telnet clie nt, click Start, click Run , and t ype "tel net <NetGuardian IP address>
2002."
Q. How do I connect my NetGuardian to th e LAN? A. To connect your N etGuardian to yo ur LAN, yo u need to configure th e uni t IP add re ss, the sub net
mask and t he default ga t eway. A sample configuration cou ld lo ok l ike t his:
Unit Address: 192.168.1.100 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway: 192.168.1.1
Save yo ur changes by writing to N VRAM and reboot. Any chang e to the NetGuardian's IP config urati on req uires a re boot.
Q. When I connect to the NetGuardia n th rou g h th e craft po rt on th e front pan el it either
doesn't work rig h t o r it d o esn't wo rk at all. What's going o n ?
A. M ake sure your using t he rig ht COM port settings. Your COM port settin gs should re ad:
Bits per second: 9600 (96 00 baud) Data bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits : 1 Flow control: None Important! Flow control must b e set to none. Flow contro l normally d efaults to ha rdware in most
termina l programs, and th is will not work corre ctly with t he NetGua rdian .
Q. I can 't ch ange the craft port baud rate. A. If you select a hi gher baud rate, you must set y our te rminal emul ator program to t he new baud rate
and then type DPSCFG and p ress Enter. If your te rmin al emul ator is set to a slower baud ra t e tha n the craft port, normal k eys can ap pear a s a b reak key — and t he craft p ort int erpret s a b reak key as an o verride that resets the baud rate to the standard 9 600 baud .
Q. How do I u se the NetGuardia n to access TTY interfaces on remo te site equipment? A. If your remote site dev ice supports RS-232, you can connect it to one of the eight dat a port s lo cated
on the NetGua rdian back p anel. To mak e the data port a ccessible v ia LAN, conf igure t he port for TCP/IP operation. You now hav e a LAN-based pro xy port conn ection t hat lets you access your dev ice's TTY int erfa ce throug h a Teln et session.
Q. I just chang ed the port settings for one of my d ata ports, b u t th e cha n g es did n o t seem to
take effect even after I wrote the NVRAM.
A. In order for dat a port and craft port changes (inclu ding changes to the baud rate a nd word f ormat) to
tak e effect, the NetGu ardia n must be reb ooted. Whenever you mak e chang es, remember to writ e them to t he NetGua rdian's NVRA M so they will be saved when th e uni t is reboo t ed.
Q. The LAN link LED is g reen on my NetGuardian, bu t I can't poll i t from my T/Mon. A. Some routers will not f orward p ackets to an IP address until t he MAC a ddress of the destin atio n
device ha s be en reg istered on the rout er's Address Resolution Proto col (ARP) table . Enter the IP add ress of your gatewa y and your T/Mon system to t he ARP tab le.
Q. What do the terms "port," "a d d ress," "d i splay" and " alarm point" mean? A. These terms refer to numbers tha t designate the lo cation of a network alarm, from the most gene ral
(a po rt t o which several d evi ces are con nected) to the most specific (an individual alarm sensor).
Port: A number designa t ing a seri al port thro ugh wh ich a monitoring device collects data. Address: A number d esignat ing a device connected to a port . Display: A numbe r designatin g a lo gical g roup o f 64 alarm points. Alarm Point: A number designa t ing a con t act closure tha t is activat ed when an alarm condi t ion
occurs. For exa mpl e, an alarm point might represent a low oil sensor in a gen erato r or an o pen/ close sensor in a door. These terms originally refe rred on ly to physical thi ngs: actual ports, de vices, and contact closures. For th e sake of consistency, p ort-ad dress-display -alarm po int te rmin ology has been exte nded to include purely logical elements: fo r exampl e, the NetG uardi an reports internal ala rms on Port 99, A ddress 1.
94
Q. What c h aracteristics o f an alarm point can be config u red through software? For instance,
can p o i n t 4 be used to sense an active-low sig n al, or poin t 5 to sense a level or a edge?
A. The Ne tGuardia n 's stan da rd confi gu ra ti on is for all al arm poi n ts to be le v e l-sen sed. You cannot use
config urati on software t o convert alarm poin t s to T T L (edg e-sensed) operation. T T L ala rm po ints are a hardwa re option t hat must be specified wh en you order your NetGua rdian. Ordering TTL poi nts for y our NetGua rdian doe s no t add t o the cost of t he unit What y ou can d o with t he confi gurat ion software i s change any alarm poi nt from "Normal" to " Re versed" ope ratio n. Switchin g to Reversed ope ratio n has dif f erent effects, dep ending on th e kind of i nput con nected t o the alarm po int:
· If the alarm input generates an active-high s i g n al, switching to Reversed o peration mea ns the NetGuardi an wil l declare an alarm in t he absence of th e activ e-hig h signa l, creating th e practical equ iva lent of an active-low al arm.
· If the alarm inpu t generates an active-low signa l, switching t o Reversed operati on means the NetGuardi an wil l declare an alarm in t he absence of th e activ e-low sign al, creat ing the practical equ iva lent of an active-high ala rm.
· If the alarm input is norm a lly open, switching to Reversed operati on conv erts it to a normally closed al arm poin t .
· If the alarm input is norm a lly closed, switchin g to Reversed opera t ion con verts it to a normally ope n alarm point .
Q. Every ti me my NetGuardian starts up , I h ave to reenter the date and time. How c an I get the
NetGuardia n to automatical l y maintain the date and time setting?
A. You have th ree op t ions for keeping the corre ct ti me o n your N etGuardian:
Real Time Clock Option : Yo u can ord er your N etGuardian wit h the Re al Time Clock hardware
option. Once i t 's set, the Real T ime Clock will keep th e correct date and t ime, regardle ss of reb oots. Network Time Protocol Synchron i zatio n : If your Ne t Guardian ha s Firmware Version 2 . 9F or later, you can confi gure the unit to auto matically synchroni ze to a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server.
· To ge t t he la t est Ne t Guardia n firmware, sig n in to MyDPS at www.dpstel ecom.com/mydps.
· For in structions on configuring your NetGu ardian to use NT P synchronization, see your NGEditG 5 or NetGuardian Web Browser Interface user manual.
95
T/Mon RTU Tim e Sy nc Signal: You can confi gure your T / Mon NOC to send an RTU Time Sync
signal at a regul ar int erval, which you can set t o any time period bet we en 10 and 10,080 minu t es. The T ime Sync will automaticall y synchronize the NetGuardi an's clock to th e T/Mon's clock. And i f you set yo ur T/Mon to NTP synchronization, you'll make sure you have consistent, accurat e time stamps throughout your monitoring network.
Q. How do I b ack u p my NetGuardian con fi g u ra ti o n ? A. There a re two way s to back up NetG uardi an configura t ion f iles:
Use NGEditG5
NGEditG 5 can read the con f igura t ion of a NetGuardia n unit conne cted to your PC v ia LAN, modem or COM port. You can then use NGEd itG 5 to save a NetGua rdian config urati on file on your PC's hard disk o r on a f lopp y disk. With N GEditG5 you can al so mak e chang es to the con f iguration fil e and write the chan ged conf iguration to the NetGuardian's NVRAM.
Use FTP
Y ou can u se File Transfer Prot ocol (FTP) to read and writ e configuration f iles to the NetGua rdian's NVRAM, but you can't use FTP to edi t con f iguration fil es.
SNMP FAQs15.2
Q. How do I configu re the NetGuardian to s end traps to an SNMP manager? Is there a separate
MIB for the NetGuardia n ? How many SNMP mana g ers ca n th e agent send traps to ? And h o w do I set the IP address of the SNMP ma n ager and the commun i ty string to b e used wh en sending traps?
A. The NetGuardian begins sendin g trap s as soon a s the SN MP manag ers are de f ined . T he
NetG uardi an MI B is include d on t he NetGuardian Resource CD. The MIB should be compiled on y our SNMP manager. (Note: MIB v ersions may change in the f uture . ) T he un it supports 2 SNMP managers, which are con f igure d by entering its IP address in t he Trap Addre ss fiel d of Ethernet Port Setup. You can also configure up to eight second ary SNMP managers, whi ch i s confi gured by selecting the secondary SNMP managers as pager recipients. Commun i t y string s are configured glo bally fo r all SNM P man agers. To con f igure the community string s, choo se System from the Edi t menu, a nd enter appropriate va lues in t he Get, Se t , and T rap fields.
Q. Does the NetGuardian sup p o rt MIB-2 an d / o r a n y other standard MIBs? A. The NetGuardian sup ports the bulk of MIB-2.
Q. Does the NetGuardian SNMP agent support both NetGuardian and T/MonXM variables? A. The NetGuardian SNMP age nt manages an embe dded MIB that supp orts only the NetG uardi an's
RTU variables. The T / MonXM va riabl es are in clu ded i n the distribu t ed MI B only to p rovide SNMP managers with a single MIB for all DPS Te lecom products.
Q. How many traps are triggered when a s i n g l e point i s set or cleared? The MIB defines traps
