tFTP Client
The MCC card and DSL card each provide client trivial File Transfer Protocol
(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 interfaces
during these data transfers.
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.

MCC Card Configuration , Chapter 6, DSL
Card Configuration
, and Appendix D, Download and Apply Code , of the HotWire
Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) User’s Guide

Telnet
The HotWire DSLAM system provides support for telnet, which is a simple remote
terminal protocol that is part of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (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. You will see the same local user
interface during a telnet session to the HotWire DSLAM.
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 or DSL card.
For more information, see Chapter 8,
Diagnostics and Troubleshooting , of the
HotWire Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM) User’s Guide .
