Description

The mon-cxma command is a software tool which provides a means to monitor the status of serial devices and remote async nodes (RAN) attached to the IBM 128-port asynchronous adapter. It is used for subsystem problem determination and can be accessed locally and remotely via modem. The only restriction on modem access is that the modem can not be physically attached to the 128-port adapter being monitored.

When the user enters the mon-cxma command at the command line, it automatically detects and displays all available 128-port adapters in the system. The bus and slot location within the system is displayed for each adapter and the user can select adapter to monitor.

You can use the Web-based System Manager Software application (wsm software fast path) to run this command. You could also use the System Management Interface Tool (SMIT) smit 128psync fast path to advance directly to the "128-Port Asynchronous Adapter" menu. When run from SMIT, the mon-cxma command automatically displays all available 128-port adapters in the system. Refer to "Running the Monitor from SMIT" in AIX Versions 3.2 and 4 Asynchronous Communications Guide for more information.

Flags
