Configuring PXI trigger routing using MAX 2.2?

I have a MXI-3 interface to a PXI-1006 and I'm trying to route RTSI triggers from one bus segment to another. I know that in the latest version of MAX, as the knowledge base explains, I can just set these routings up by hand. My software works just fine with that configuration. Unfortunately, I'm constrained to using the older version of MAX which does not have this particular feature.
 
I got the sense from speaking to others that I could just open a VISA session to the PXI-1006 backplane and use viMapTrigger() to do what I need, but then I found another thread here that stated that the PXI doesn't support that type of interface. What's more, I haven't been able to get viOpen(... "PXI0::0::BACKPLANE"...) to work. It complains that the device isn't set up or doesn't exist.
 
Is there some way to set up RTSI trigger routing with my old configuration?
