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 developed.
To control the software, only a telnet program is required. The telnet program is part of every operating system.
To establish a Telnet connection with the R&S SMC, start the telnet program.
Enter the access string to connect to the instrument and confirm with ENTER.
The access string is composed of the open command short form) and the socket address. The socket address is a combination of the IP address or the host name of the R&S SMC and the number of the port configured for remote-control via telnet. The R&S SMC uses the port number 5025 for remote connection via Telnet.
Example: o 10.113.1.150 5025
The connection to the instrument is set up and you can send remote-control commands.
Even if the cursor is not visible on the screen, enter blind a remote-control command and confirm with "Enter".
After the first remote-control command has been sent, the instrument is in the "REMOTE" state, i.e. instrument control from the front panel or via mouse and keyboard is disabled and "REMOTE" is displayed in the status line.
