What is the "remote port or service name"
The remote port is an important part of the protocol specification for a server device. Therefore you will have to search the documentation for your device for this information. Not documenting that is a bit the same as showing you a door that is locked and not telling you where the key is. So you will have to search the documentation for your device and if it isn't in there bug the manufacturer about it. If he doesn't want to tell you you are in trouble but it is likely you would be in much more trouble anyhow, since the port is only a little piece of the information necessary to talk to a device. Without a good documentation about the actual protocol even a well known port doesn't help much.

how do I find out what the "remote port or service name" is when using the TCP open connection? I'm trying to read data from a mensor DTP 6100 series which has a 0 - 5V output through a serial port, which is then connected to a MOXA Nport DE-311 to transfer it to ethernet.I can't work out what the remote port or service name might be and therefore I cannot make it work....it's frustrating me!Any help would be VERY welcome
The service name is only interesting if you have a device that is either from NI and knows how to register its service at the Logos service locater service or if you have a LabVIEW application that registers its server under a specific service name.
