## Streaming the serial port

To see specifically what the LoRa device is doing, connect it to your laptop and stream the serial port into your local terminal.

```bash
sudo apt install -y tio
tio -b 9600 /dev/rnode_XXX
```

## Monitoring with `loramon`

> [!NOTE]
> **NOTE** \
> See [Python packaging](/docs/operators/python) for more information on `pipx`.

```bash
pipx install loramon
```

Using [our presets](/docs/operators/lora/presets), you can pole the device with `loramon` in your local terminal.

```bash
loramon /dev/rnode_XXXX \
  --freq 867200000 \
  --bw 125000 \
  --sf 8 \
  --cr 5 \
  -C -W loramon-capture
```
