In its standard configuration, the NetGuardian supports LAN transport with dial-up backup.

LAN with dial-up backup

Even when LAN is available, the NetGuardian's support for multiple transports can come in handy. The NetGuardian's dial-up modem can serve as a back-up data path in case of LAN failure.

The NetGuardian's dial-up modem can connect directly to T/Mon NOC to report alarms via DCPx or it can connect to a PPP server to report SNMP traps to your SNMP manager.

Even if you think you'll never use it, maintaining a backup data path is an essential best practice for truly reliable network alarm monitoring.
