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 ad dress, the
command is applied to another unit with that IP address. If you do not enter the IP
address, the command is executed locally.
