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. Responses to some of the commands
are in Intel Hex format.

SSID, and RSSI. If SA is followed by a string, the string
is used to filter SSIDs before reporting. If the BSS does

potentially negotiated parameters like speed/duplex for
Ethernet or BSSID, encryption, authentication for
wireless interfaces.
