Telnet is disabled in appliances:
https://www.veritas.com/support/en_US/doc/96220900-132543872-0/v115997970-132543872
.
Use ssh instead.

I am using Appliance version 5240, can I run telnet command from this appliance version?

Your appliance "model" might be 5240. As for your appliance "version", you will have to check.
As previously highlighted, within later / recent "versions" of appliance, "telnet" has been removed. It's simply not there, so the answer in your case is probaby: "No, you cannot use telnet."
I have to ask... what kind of site are you working at anyway where they would even consider allowing the use of telnet?

rather use bptestbpcd. It will request a connection to the client as well as connect-back.
Much better than telnet.
Bes sure to use -verbose -debug options and ensure that bpcd log folder exists on the client.

Assuming that you're willing to check the remote port accessibility. Use curl;
curl -v telnet://remote_host_IP:tcp_port
curl -v telnet://172.16.6.51:1556

Telnet is disabled in a lot of environments, but if you're just wanting to test remote port connectivity, you can use netcat
nc -zv <client name> <port number> will show you if a port is open or not when telnet is disabled.
For Windows, use the Test-NetConnection PowerShell cmdlet.
