This does not necessarily indicate your setup is correct, which it
likely isn't.  When you do an 'info' command from Telnet, after
typing 'ti' or 'go', do you see "Debug entry cause " COP freeze
(startup)?  This generally indicates that the 8245 has entered check
stop state due to a hardware/configuration/setup/procesor
initialization issue.  You will have to debug it.
