Monitor Mode and Firmware Upgrade
To enter monitor mode: The same principal as setting the parameters is used (see
Section 4.3). Instead of entering three “x ” keys, key in “xx1”. Within one second of
power-up, the VMSE will respond with a special prompt. To start the monitor mode
without network functions (no network connections), enter “xx2”. To enter the
monitor mode, in addition to “xx1” and “xx2”, you can also type “yyy” and log in.
To enter the monitor mode using a Telnet connection: After the Telnet session is
established, you will see messages similar to the following examples:
Serial Number 1103062 MAC Address 00:20:4A:11:0B:F6
Software Version 00.9B1 (000630)
Press Enter to go into Setup Mode (wait to close)
At this point, type M (upper case). If you see the 0> prompt, it means that you have
entered the monitor mode successfully.
Monitor Commands
The following commands are available in the monitor mode. Many commands have
an IP address as an optional parameter (x.x.x.x). If it is given, the command is
applied to another VMSE with that IP address. If no IP address is given, the
command is executed locally.
All commands must be given in capital letters; only blanks (spaces) are accepted
between parameters.
