The NetGuardian can report over 202, FSK, or RS-232 directly to T/Mon NOC, or over RS-232 or dial-up to a PPP server.

Migration

The NetGuardian is the ideal RTU for networks in transition. If you need to install network alarm monitoring now, but you know your data transport is going to change, the NetGuardian is the right choice. You can use one remote now and far into the future, without having to pay twice for the same capabilities.

In the diagram shown, the NetGuardian first supports serial or dial-up connection. Then when LAN is installed at the site, all you have to do is plug a standard Ethernet cable into the NetGuardian's standard 10BaseT port.

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

You can then turn the serial channel down, or maintain the dial-up connection as a backup data path.
