Confirming port numbers
To view the port number assigned to each remote interface protocol:
1. From the virtual front panel, press the MENU key, and then select LAN > STATUS > PORT.
2. Use the navigation wheel to select one of the following:
▪
RAW-SOCKET
▪
TELNET
▪
VXI-11

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 2606B and their
assigned port numbers.

Selecting a LAN interface protocol

You can use a remote interface protocol to connect to the 2606B. The 2606B provides Telnet, VXI-11,
and raw socket LAN interfaces, with associated LAN protocols (each interface uses a different
protocol). Select the interface based on the protocol needed.
You can also use a dead socket termination interface (DST) to troubleshoot connection problems.
You can only use one remote interface at a time. Although multiple ethernet connections to the
instrument can be opened, only one can be used to control the instrument at a time.
VXI-11 connection
This remote interface is similar to GPIB and supports message boundaries, serial poll, and service
requests (SRQs). A VXI-11 driver or NI-VISA software is required. Test Script Builder (TSB) uses
NI-VISA and can be used with the VXI-11 interface. You can expect a slower connection with
this protocol.
