ESCON Traffic Monitor: ESC1 LINCS C8.2 Central Control
Status: ENABLED
CU Index: ALL
Address: ** (enter Hex Value or “**” for ALL Addresses)
PF: 1-Menu 4-Stop
Since the ESCON Traffic Monitor runs by default, you must first stop the monitor, before
you can make changes to what it is to capture. When the monitor is running you should see
a status of ‘ENABLED’ displayed and a PF4-Stop key defined. Stop the monitor by pressing
the key. When the monitor stops, you will see the status change to ‘DISABLED’, and
the ‘PF4-Stop’ key will go away. You will also notice three new PF keys defined:
• PF3 – Start
• PF5 – Clear
• PF10 – Save
Pressing the key will restart the monitor, leaving the existing trace intact. Pressing the
key will clear the monitor. Pressing the key will save the current contents of
the trace into a binary file with the name of ‘ESC_DEV.BIN’. This file can be found in the
System directory. Note that if you want to save more than one trace, you will need to copy
the trace file off after each save, since the new save will overwrite the previous file.
An example of a captured ESCON trace is shown below.

Events are numbered in the trace sequentially. A greater than symbol (>) is used to indicate
outbound traffic (from the host) and the less than symbol indicates inbound traffic (to the
host). The letter ‘T’ is used to denote Inbound and Outbound Protocol Messages exchanged
