Confirming port numbers
To view the port number assigned to each remote interface protocol:
1. From the front panel, press the MENU key, and then select LAN > STATUS > PORT.
2. Use the navigation wheel to select one of the following:
â–ª RAW-SOCKET
â–ª TELNET
â–ª VXI-11
â–ª DST
3. Press the ENTER key to view the port number.
4. Press the EXIT (LOCAL) key once to return to the PORT menu.
The following table displays the remote interface protocols supported by the 2600B and their
assigned port numbers.
Telnet connection
The Telnet protocol is similar to raw socket and can be used when you need to interact directly with
the instrument. Telnet is often used for debugging and troubleshooting. You need a separate Telnet
program to use this protocol.
The 2600B supports the Telnet protocol, which you can use over a TCP/IP connection to send
commands to the instrument. You can use a Telnet connection to interact with scripts or send
real-time commands.
