Port Monitoring Configuration

This function allows you to set up a 'mirror' port of any specified port/s from 1 to 26,
such that you can monitor the transmitted or received traffics of the monitored port/s
without intervening them. You can then use a protocol analyzer to analyze the traffic
for that port for any specific problem.

connected to a control station, is assigned to be a monitoring port; and port
24 is configured as a monitored port. This means that when a packet is
being sent/received to/from PC 24, the control station will also get a
duplicate copies.
