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.
