Keysight M8195A Revision 2 – Arbitrary Waveform Generator User's Guide
/FallBack: If starting a server fails because of a conflict, try using another port or
number
 HiSLIP, VXI-11.3: increase the index until a server can be started
successfully

Socket, Telnet: start with port 60000, then increase it until the servers
can be started successfully. If neither socket nor telnet is disabled the
Soft Front Panel tries to start the servers on two consecutive ports
(socket port = telnet port + 1)
/AutoID: Automatically select ports and number for the connections, which are
unique per instrument.
This is the default behavior; it is not necessary to specify this argument on the
command line.
If only one AXIe module is connected to this PC and it is an M8195 module, first
try to use the command line arguments /Socket, /Telnet, /Inst, or their
respective default values if they are not specified. If starting the servers fails,
proceed with the steps below.
/Socket, /Telnet, /Inst, /HiSLIP are ignored (unless they are -1 and a server is
disabled)
If the Soft Front Panel detects more than one AXIe module, use a special
mechanism to obtain a number for the HiSLIP and VXI-11.3 servers, which
makes sure that the Soft Front Panel uses always the same VISA resource string
per module
The socket and telnet port are then calculated from the HiSLIP index:

telnet port = 60000 + 2 * <HiSLIP index>
 socket port = 60000 + 2 * <HiSLIP index> + 1
Note: Ports may already be in use by Windows or other applications, so they are
not available for M8195A.
/NoAutoID: Do not automatically select ports and number for the connections, use
the values specified with /Socket, /Telnet, /Inst, /HiSLIP or their respective default
values instead.
If both /NoAutoID and /AutoID are specified, /AutoID overrides /NoAutoID.
The first port not assigned by IANA is 49152 (IANA, Internet Assigned Numbers
Authority, http://www.iana.org)
