That is the usual configuration. Doing otherwise would be strange.

Of course you can't. You should do it either from the target machine or from OEM, if you have the intelligent agent running. If you don't have the dimwitted agent running, you are trying to connect through the listener. As the target database is down, it has no servers, so listener cannot find any server to connect. The net result is that you don't connect. There is an utility called "cron" that is ideal for occasionally running RMAN backup
