7: Monitoring the Network
Monitor Mode is a command-line interface used for diagnostic purposes.
There are two ways to enter Monitor Mode: locally via the serial port or remotely via
the network.
Entering Monitor Mode via the Serial Port
To enter Monitor Mode locally:
1. Follow the same steps used for setting the serial configuration parameters
(see Using the Serial Port on page 22).
2. Instead of typing three x keys, however:
a) Type zzz (or xx1) to enter Monitor Mode with network connections.
b) Type yyy (or yy1) to enter Monitor Mode without network connections.
A 0> prompt indicates that you have successfully entered Monitor Mode.
Entering Monitor Mode via the Network Port
To enter Monitor Mode using a Telnet connection:
1. Establish a Telnet session to the configuration port (9999). The following
message appears:
MAC address 00204A0113A3
Software version 01.0b9 (021219) XPT
Press Enter to go into Setup Mode
2. Type M (upper case).
A 0> prompt indicates that you have successfully entered Monitor Mode.
Monitor Mode Commands
The following commands are available in Monitor Mode. Many commands have an IP
address as an optional parameter (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx). If you enter the IP address, the
command is applied to another unit with that IP address. If you do not enter the IP
address, the command is executed locally.
Note: All commands must be in capital letters.
