Monitor a Specific LU
This test monitors host traffic for a specific LU on a specific host circuit. You specify the LU
and host circuit to be monitored by entering 4,h,lu when entering this test, where 4 is the test,
h is the host letter (a through p), and lu is the LU number in hexadecimal. If no LU or host
letter is specified, the requested action is taken on the current session’s LU and host circuit.
For SNA, LU 00 may be entered to monitor host traffic for the PU.
The monitor buffer is not cleared when this test is selected, so any residual data may still
appear when the monitor data is displayed (if the buffer has not wrapped).
After the selected operation has been performed, the Monitor Status panel will be displayed.
Monitor a Specific Device
This test monitors host traffic for all sessions on a given device port. You specify the device
port to be monitored when this test option is selected by entering 5,port where 5 selects this
test and port is the coax or ASCII device port number. For example: you can enter coax
MCCX.YYY or ASCII ADAX.YYY, where X is the board number and Y is the port number.
If no port number is specified, the requested action is taken on the current port sessions.
This test is not support for LANSYS, LU-PU MAPPED, or IPX SNA CLIENTS. The Monitor
a Specific LU test must be used on these types of devices.
The monitor buffer is not cleared when this test is selected, so any residual data may still
appear when the monitor data is displayed (if the buffer has not wrapped).
After the selected operation has been performed, the Monitor Status panel will be displayed.
Stop Monitor
This test stops the host monitor on the specified host circuit. Entering 6,h selects this test (6)
where h is the host letter (a through p or * for all host circuits). If no host letter is specified,
the requested action is taken on the current session’s host circuit.
After the selected operation has been performed, the Monitor Status panel will be displayed.
Display Monitor from Beginning and Display Monitor from End
These tests temporarily stop the host monitor and display the monitor data for the specified
host circuit. You must enter the test with 7,h or 8,h, where 7 or 8 is the test specified and h is
the host letter specified (host a through p). If no host letter is specified, the requested action is
taken on the current session’s host circuit.
The Display Monitor from Beginning (Test 7) displays the monitor buffer starting with the
oldest event captured. Display Monitor from End (Test 8) starts with the most recent event.
Oldest to newest events are displayed from the top down (oldest event on top and newest
event on bottom).
The current host monitor buffer being viewed is displayed at the top of the display screen as
Display Monitor for Host: x where x is the selected host circuit. While viewing the host
monitor for a given host circuit, the same host monitor cannot be viewed or cleared by another
user. The host monitor buffer is also temporarily stopped so no additional data will be captured
while the buffer is being viewed.
When you exit this test, the host monitor will again begin to capture data (provided the host
monitor was not manually stopped, using menu option 6, before viewing the data) and the
monitor buffer can be viewed by another user.
