Using LAN
NOTE The Windows 2000 operating systems use a command prompt style interface for the Telnet
client. Refer to the Figure 2-7 on page 42 for an example of this interface.
Windows XP operating systems and newer can use this section to better understand how to
use the signal generator with port settings. For more information, refer to the help software
of the IO libraries being used.
The following telnet LAN connections are discussed:
• “Using Telnet and MS-DOS Command Prompt” on page 40
