Accessing the Control Terminal Port

 

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

 

 

 

VanguardMS Vanguard devices have a built-in Telnet feature that allows to you

Telnet

 

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.
