Error in using TCPIP/Instr class to open a VISA session

[viji]

I use the TCPIP/Instr class session to open a VISA session to Agilent 86140B Optical spectrum Analyser and I get an Error - VISA open in Appln.vi.Help me to fix this problem.

I am able to access the instrument on LAN through a Telnet session.

In order to be given the suffix instr, your VISA session must have been configured for VXI-11 communication and not raw socket communication. Please verify that your instrument is indeed VXI-11 compliant. Also, what is the hex error code that is generated?

Thanx for the reply.The instrument is VXI-11 compliant.The error I am getting is Instrument timeout -1073807339 (BFFF0015) and I am using LabVIEW on Linux.

I have another problem.I am able to see the instrument using a Telnet session but not using http//192.168.10.2 on a web browser.It is giving an error that the host may be down and try some time later.
