The document describes advanced debugging tools for AX including axdebug and debug monitor. Axdebug captures packet details in pcap format that can be analyzed in Wireshark. Debug monitor provides formatted text output for quick issue analysis. Both tools provide session-based packet dumps that capture all packets matching a filter within a session between a client, AX device, and server. The document also provides instructions for starting axdebug captures, applying filters, exporting pcap files, and checking the axdebug status.
