Telnet error (Code: 62)

Question

I'm running VIs (LV8.6) under TestStand 4.1.
The
following message is from a Telnet Read/Write vi.  I usually open the
Telnet connection at the beginning of the test and close it at the
end.  Sometimes there is a gap of long time without any telnet
activity.  I set the timout of the Telnet connection to 1 hour.
Any idea what this error mean?

Answer 1

The error code means:
The system caused the network connection to be aborted.
It's possible that the device you are telnetting into is timing out and closing the connection. In general I find it much more relaible to open a connection, use it, and then close it before long periods of inactivity.
