You can communicate with the asynchronous terminal interface (ATI) using one of the following methods:

Direct connection through the Management Serial port of the DSLAM (locally or via an external modem).

Telnet session using a Network Management System (NMS) connected to a

TLAN/WAN port on the DSLAM.

Telnet session through the Embedded Operations Channel (EOC).

NOTE:

Only one ATI session can be active at a time, and another user’s session cannot be forced to end. To automatically log out a user due to inactivity, enable the Inactivity Timeout option (see Table A-5, Telnet Session Options, in Appendix A, Configuration Options.

Security can limit ATI access several ways. To set up security or a login ID, refer to Chapter 7, Security.

Ensure that the device you connect communicates using these settings:

Data rate set to 9.6 kbps.

Character length set to 8.

TParity set to None. Stop Bits set to 1.
