Connecting to the CTP
Introduction
This section describes how to connect to the CTP to configure your Vanguard
300/305.
CTP Port
There are 2 ways to access the CTP via direct connection:
1)
If you connect a local terminal to Port 3 of the Vanguard, set the "CTP -> Port
3" switch in the on position, and reboot the node.
2)
If you connect a local terminal to the Vanguard directly via an RJ45 cable to
Port 4. See the Vanguard 300/305 Operator's Guide (Part No. 09965, Rev B)
for the required pinout for the RJ45 CTP cable.
Any port can be used for CTP access, but only Port 3 can be automatically
defaulted for CTP access. Port 3 is a DCE.
CTP Access Using ATPAD
For software image options that contain ATPAD instead of APAD, access to
the CTP is established with a default port type ATPAD. When the APAD
option in active, the prompt that appears is *. When ATPAD is active, the
prompt is
O
K.
To access the CTP via direct connection, type:
ATDS0 <CR>
Another way that you can access a local CTP, or to access a remote CTP from any
ATPAD port, type:
ATD <node98> <CR>
You can terminate the call to the CTP by selecting menu item 1 from the Main
menu, or by typing:
+++
When you get the
OK
prompt, type:
ATH <CR>
For more information on ATPAD, see the
Documentation Change Notice for
Release 4.41
(Part No. 09871-49).
