Sniff session mode has four options: disabled, input, output, and both. You configure the sniff
session modes per port from the serial port configuration page.
Enable/Disable sniff mode
▪ Disabled - No one can enter a sniff session after the first user logs on.
▪ Enabled - Allows all users with access the following options in sniff mode:
Sniff session display mode
▪ server output - View all data to a serial port from a remote connection
▪ user input - View all data from a serial port to a remote connection
▪ both - See all data transmitted or received through a serial port
Display data direction arrows
▪ Enable/Disable - Displays arrows to indicate the direction of data to or from the server. When the
second user accesses the port, the global "Port escape menu" is displayed. See Port escape
menu.
Permit monitor only mode
▪ Enable: A user with “Monitor" permissions can only connect to the port in read only mode any
time.
▪ Disable: A user with “Monitor" permissions can connect if a read/write user has a connection to
the port. A read-only session is automatically disconnected if the main user (read/write session)
disconnects from the port.
