MON is a monitoring utility.
To date, this is just a test version.
It requires the g8bpq switch.
It requires a 34k - 37k DESQview window.
You need to supply it with a bpq stream number (suggest 29).
Note that this stream number is NOT a COM port number, but
uses the 'extra' channels provided by bpq host mode. You may
use any stream number you aren't using for something else. For
example, if you use YTNC 25 1 1, then YTNC will be using host
ports up to 25. Just don't use a number that you will be using
for something else, like PAC4, CHAT4.
Use:
MON -m stream (insert -m # in the parameter field of DESQview window,
ie, Parameter -m 29. Note that "m" is not a variable.
It has several commands. Run it, hit the enter key, it will
tell you what it can do. The commands and capabilities are
still under development ... and subject to change.
a - monitors all ports
1 - monitors port 1, etc.
n - monitors no ports
r - toggles to monitor rx, tx, or rx and tx frames
i - toggles to recieve text information or not.
l - shows the number of calls heard recently.
q - quit monitor
o and c allow you to open a log file, log activity for awhile,
then close it for later examination.
The stats command (S), will display statistics on the frames
MON has seen on each channel, and the percentage of those bytes
that carry data with respect to the total bytes seen.
FR = Total frames heard of all types
%data = % of bytes that carry data
L3 = Layer 3 bytes total
L2 = Layer 2 bytes total
L1 = Layer 1 bytes total
REJ = Number of FR frames that were rejects.
MON cannot count retries, since it didn't hear them. BPQ stats are
more accurate.
I expect MON to become a much more useful network statistics collector
in the future. Your ideas about what it should do are most welcome !
