Internal access to the AAF AT command interface

I want to access the AT command interface from an application running in the ALEOS Application Framework, so that I can read the value of some items that are not made available via the devicetree (eg. the temperature) and so I can access other functions that are not available via the AAF API.
I can remotely access the AT command interface via telnet or SSH from outside the unit, but access to those interfaces appears to be blocked for internal/local connections.
For example - I can successfully telnet to the AT command interface (as “user” to port 2332) from a PC, however if I first ssh to the MP70 (as “uasuser”) then try to telnet to the AT command interface (as “user” to localhost, port 2332) that connection is denied.
Does anyone know of a way in which I can access the AT command interface from within the AAF?
