11: Monitor

The Monitor feature can be used to query and capture desired information during an xPico Wi-Fi serial port to serial device connection.

Monitor Settings

Through the Monitor feature in Web Manager, you may configure the monitoring of a connected serial device through a sequence of five pages via Explorer, or go to a specific Configuration page to make specific changes. The device monitoring status can be viewed through the Status page.

Note: The easiest way to view monitor status or modify monitor settings is through Web Manager, however you can also utilize the CLI and XML (see To Configure Monitor on page 59).
