What is a Proxy Reach-Through Port and How Do I Use It?
A. There are eight serial ports located on the back of a NetGuardian. Each of the eight ports can be used as a craft port, a channel port, a TCP reach-through port, or a UDP reach-through port. When a device is hooked up to the NetGuardian via one of the serial ports, you can access the device by Telnet-ing into the NetGuardian, using hyperterminal, or via dial up. To setup one of the serial port as a proxy reach-through port, you have to configure that particular port in the NetGuardian. You can do this by connecting to the NetGuardian unit using a web browser or NGEdit.
