11: Monitor Mode
Monitor Mode is a command-line interface used for diagnostic purposes (see Table 11-1- Monitor
Mode Commands). 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 principles used in setting the serial configuration parameters. See Chapter
6: Configuration via Telnet or Serial Port (Setup Mode).
2. Enter Monitor Mode in one of two ways:
♦
Type zzz (or xxl) to enter Monitor Mode with network connections.
♦
Type yyy to enter Monitor Mode without network connections.
An 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. First establish a Telnet session to the configuration port (9999). The following message
appears:
MAC address 0080A38BFC08
Software version V6.11.0.1 (160127) XPressDR
Press Enter for Setup Mode
An 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 the IP address is given, the command is applied to
another network device with that IP address. If no IP address is given, the command is executed
locally.
Note: All commands must be given in capital letters.
