2. Establish a connection with the TGM550:
   • To access the TGM550 remotely from the network, enter the command you typically use to establish a remote connection (such as telnet or ssh) using the TGM550's IP address.
   • To access the TGM550 from the Services Router, use the JUNOS CLI telnet or ssh command in the operational mode to open a telnet or secure shell (SSH) session to the TGM550.

     For example, to telnet to the TGM550 using its IP address 10.10.10.2, enter:

     
     user@host> telnet 10.10.10.2
