Using the LAN with remote operations
Table 15-5 provides the functions available from the remote interface:

LAN functions
NOTE 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 any given time.
Raw socket: Raw socket is a basic ethernet connection that communicates similarly to
RS-232 without explicit message boundaries. The instrument will always terminate messages with
a line feed, but because binary data may include bytes that resemble line feed characters, it may
be difficult to distinguish between data and line feed characters.
VXI-11: VXI-11 is similar to GPIB and supports message boundaries as well as service requests
(SRQs). A VXI-11 driver or VISA software is required. Test Script Builder (TSB) uses VISA and can
be used with the VXI-11 interface.
Telnet: Telnet is similar to raw socket and is used when the user needs to interact directly with the
instrument, typically for debugging and troubleshooting. Telnet requires a separate telnet program.
Dead socket termination port: The dead socket termination port is used to terminate all existing
ethernet connections. A dead socket is one which is held open by the instrument because it has
not been properly closed. This most often happens when the PC is turned off or reboots without
first closing the socket. This port cannot be used for command and control functions.
