6.2.3.3 Remote Control over LAN using Socket Communication
This chapter provides an example on how to establish a remote control connection over
telnet protocol and a simple sockets-based program example that can be further devel-
oped.
Setting up a Telnet Connection
To control the software, only a telnet program is required. The telnet program is part of
every operating system.
1. To establish a Telnet connection with the R&S SMB, start the telnet program and
enter the socket address.
The socket address is a combination of the IP address or the host name of the R&S
SMB and the number of the port configured for remote-control via telnet.
Tip: The R&S SMB uses the port number 5025 for remote connection via Telnet.
The connection to the instrument is set up and remote-control commands can be
sent.
