12.2 Overview of Supported Network Functions
The ASG Guard/ASG Guard Plus may be connected to your TCP/IP network through either an
Ethernet connection or a Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) link.
An Ethernet connection physically connects the ASG Guard/ASG Guard Plus to a network. PPP
allows a network connection to a remote device via a modem connection. After a PPP link has
been established, you can perform network functions, such as Telnet or FTP, to the ASG
Guard/ASG Guard Plus or to specific devices on the network. To establish a PPP link or to initiate
a Telnet session, you must have the appropriate commercial software package installed and
setup on the remote PC. Connection to a TCP/IP network provides for the following services:
•
Ping
•
Telnet communication
•
Network access to the ASG Guard/ASG Guard Plus for unit administration
•
Network access to the devices connected to the host ports
•
Network access to other devices on the network, using the ASG Guard/ASG Guard Plus
as a security server
•
SNMP trap delivery
•
Delivery of SNMP traps for errors detected in the ASG Guard/ASG Guard Plus
•
Delivery of SNMP traps for alarms conditions detected in the devices connected to the
host ports
•
FTP file delivery (client support)
•
Delivery of buffer files from the ASG Guard/ASG Guard Plus to a network file server
In order to use these features, you must correctly set the network parameters of the ASG
Guard/ASG Guard Plus.
