Customers do not want users to access the switch by using the INADS line. When users use the INADS line, users continue to PROCR and then gain access to a customer LAN. However, the Avaya architecture prevents users from accessing the customer LAN.Figure : 1 shows a high-level switch schematic with a TN799 (PROCR).

Logging in through the INADS line, customers can access software. Software communicates with firmware over an internal bus through a limited message set. The two main reasons why a user cannot go to the customer LAN through the INADS line are:
A user logging into software cannot get direct access to the PROCR firmware.
The user can only enter SAT commands that request PROCR information or configure PROCR connections.
Communication Manager disables the PROCR application TFTP and cannot enable the application.
TELNET only interconnects PROCR Ethernet clients to the system management application on the switch. FTP exists only as a server and is used only for firmware downloads. FTP cannot connect to the client network.
