View a sniff session
A sniff user enters a sniff session by starting a Telnet session on a specified port. In the following
example, a sniff user telnets to port 7 of the Digi CM unit. From the command prompt enter the
following command:
telnet 192.168.100.42 7007
1 Log in and enter your password
2 Enter the port escape sequence.
When sniff users login to a port from a Telnet session, a sniff session menu is displayed with your
permitted options. The first user (with port access rights) to login to the port is in the main session.
The next user (with port access rights) to enter the port will be given the option to take over the
main session. This user is given the option to take over the main session by either terminating the
first user or switching the first user to sniff (read only).
