Do the following to set up the Mirror Port function: 

STEP 1 
Configure the EDS’s Mirror Port function from either the Console utility or Web Browser 
interface. You will need to configure three settings: 

Monitored Port 

Select the port number of the port whose network activity will be 
monitored. 

Mirror Port 

Select the port number of the port that will be used to monitor the 
activity of the monitored port. 

Watch Direction  Select one of the following three watch direction options: 

y  Input data stream 

Select this option to monitor only those data packets coming in 
through the EDS’s port. 

y  Output data stream 

Select this option to monitor only those data packets being sent out 
through the EDS’s port. 

y  Bi-directional 

Select this option to monitor data packets both coming into, and 
being sent out through, the EDS’s port. 

STEP 2 
Be sure to activate your settings before exiting. 

•  When using the Web Browser interface, activate by clicking the Activate button. 
•  When using the Console utility, activate by first highlighting the Activate menu option, and 

then press Enter. You should receive the Mirror port settings are now active! (Press any 
key to continue) message. 

Ping 

 

The Ping function uses the ping command to give users a simple but powerful tool for 
troubleshooting network problems. The function’s most unique feature is that even though the 
ping command is entered from the user’s PC keyboard, the actual ping command originates from 
the EDS itself. In this way, the user can essentially control the EDS and send ping commands out 
through its ports. 

To use the Ping function, type in the desired IP address, and then press Enter from the Console 
utility, or click Ping when using the Web Browser interface.
