Alternative Methods for Accessing the CTP
Introduction This section describes alternative methods for accessing the CTP over a Frame Relay
Bypass connection when:
• the terminal of the local Vanguard device does not have IP connectivity or
• cannot connect to the target device over the LAN (serial port only)
• the WAN is not using X.25 or Annex G
Using Remote
Telnet
VanguardMS Vanguard devices have a built-in Telnet feature that allows to you
access the CTP of other Vanguard devices. To use this feature, both the local and
target devices must be configured using an IP network connection. Use these steps to
access the CTP of another Vanguard device from your local node:
1) Access the local Vanguard’s CTP.
2) Select the Diagnostics Menu, and then select Telnet.
3) Type any IP address that is configured in the target Vanguard.
Using SoTCP If the target Vanguard device has been previously configured for a particular network
connection using SoTCP and AT PAD, you can access the CTP using Frame Relay
Bypass. Use these steps to establish an SoTCP connection to the target Vanguard’s
CTP using Frame Relay Bypass:
1) From the (*) prompt, type 10198 and press Enter.
2) At the OK prompt, type atds0<target node> (example: atds010198) and press
Enter.
