Cisco Aironet with VXWorks - Login Failed

Question

I am attempting to use Kiwi CatTools to backup our 9 Cisco 1200 Series APs running VXWorks. This is my first real world encounter with VXWorks and I am having trouble getting CatTools to download the configuration file from the devices.

Current setup for the device is:

Device Info

Device Type: Cisco.Wireless.Lan

Model: Other

Connect via: Direct connect

Method: Telnet

Port: 23

Prompts

Username prompt: admin

Password prompt: password

The username and password are correct as I can telnet into the device and get the command prompt however, every time I attempt a backup of the running config it fails stating that "Login to <access point> failed."

What am I missing here?

I am replying to Wardini. The post before mine.

If you can create a device capture for me I will look into the file to see if I can spot the problem. A device capture file records the communication between CatTools and the device you are having trouble with. You can create a device capture file as follows :

# Use the CatTools File menu to select the "Enable capture mode" option.
# Run the activity you are having trouble with. This should create a debug file in the \Debug folder.
# Zip up the resulting file and send this to me as an attachment.
# Remember to deselect the "enable capture mode" option again.

Please ensure that you *** out any sensative information.

Hi amurthard--

I'm confused by the following sentence you made:

I really want to get this working, here is what you were asking for...

Can you give a bit more detail. To whom does you refer?

Thx,
