Accessing the Control Terminal Port
Introduction Once you have powered on the Vanguard 342, you can access the Control Terminal
Port from the PC or terminal attached to the CTP port.
This section does not provide all information about accessing the CTP. For more
information on accessing and using the CTP refer to the Vanguard Basic
Configuration Manual (Part Number T0113).
Procedure Follow these steps to access the Vanguard 342 CTP Main menu:
Note
This procedure assumes that a PC or terminal is connected to the Vanguard 342
using the CTP access cable.
CTP Access Using
Remote Telnet
Another way to connect to the CTP, after the node is configured and operational, is to
access remotely via your established IP network by telneting into the node from an
IP network-based personal computer or workstation. You can create a telnet session
from your PC to the target node using and IP address configured in that node.
Connect to the CTP by entering atds0 <CR> after the Vanguard 342 outputs the OK
prompt on your Telnet terminal window.
CTP Access Using
Remote X.25 or
Frame Relay
Network
If the Vanguard 342 is operating in an X.25 network, or if Frame Relay Annex-G is
used to connect with other VanguardMS Network Access Product nodes, you can
access the Vanguard CTP remotely by making a Switched Virtual Circuit (SVC) call
to the node and specifying subaddress 98.
For example:
• If you are using ASYNC PAD, type 10198 at the asterisk (*) prompt, and
then press Enter.
• If you are using AT PAD, type atds010198, and then press Enter.
Step Action
1 Set your terminal, or terminal emulation software, to VT100, 9600 bps,
8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit.
2 Type
<CR> until either an asterisk (*) or the OK prompt appears.
3 When you see OK, type
atds0 <CR>. When you see the asterisk (*) type
.ctp.
The CTP banner will appear. If this banner does not appear, verify that
these steps have been followed correctly.
4 Type
<CR> at the password prompt, if no password has been set.
