The TraceRoute program is a TCP/IP diagnostic tool that allows you to learn the
path a packet takes from its local host to its remote host. If you are unable to ping
a device in a HotWire network configuration, you may want to run TraceRoute to
identify the links (destinations up to 64 hops) between the DSL card and an RTU
as well as which device is not forwarding the ping message.
For more information, see Chapter 8, Diagnostics and Troubleshooting , of the
HotWire DSLAM for 8540 and 8546 DSL Cards User's Guide .
The MCC card and DSL cards in the DSLAM provide client TFTP applications
that work with the firmware download and configuration upload or download
features. TFTP sessions are established between the MCC card or the DSL card
to a TFTP server accessible through the LAN interface.
A recommended use for configuration transfers is to upload a DSL card
configuration to save (archive) the configuration set. Then, if necessary, you can
recover the configuration by downloading (restoring) the saved configuration.
For more information, see Chapter 5, MCC Card Configuration , Chapter 6, DSL
Card Configuration , and Appendix C, Download Code and Apply Download , of
the HotWire DSLAM for 8540 and 8546 DSL Cards User's Guide .
The HotWire DSLAM system provides support for telnet, which is a simple remote
terminal protocol that is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite. With telnet, a network
administrator can establish a virtual access connection to the HotWire DSLAM
from a remote client to configure or monitor the HotWire DSLAM. The user
interface presented for a telnet session is the same as that used with the
DSLAM's local serial port.
A telnet connection from the HotWire DSLAM to another HotWire DSLAM or
remote server is also supported. This feature is supported from the Ethernet
(10BaseT) interface on the MCC card.

HotWire DSLAM for 8540 and 8546 DSL Cards User's Guide .
