Looks like your rman instance is not up and running... Assuming you have the ORACLE_SID set to the production db, the listener is up and running, and allows to connect to rman as well as your prod db, the syntax is:
rman target (taget connect string) catalog (catalog connect string), so something
like:
rman target / catalog rman/rman_at_rman. This of course also assumes a ops$oracle account with dba privs on your prod db. Something like
rman target sys/change_on_install_at_proddb catalog rman/rman_at_rman should also work.
