 For convenience, so-called ``debug interfaces'' are supported. Debug
-interfaces allow to monitor EtherCAT traffic with a network monitor (like
-Wireshark or tcpdump) running on the master machine without using external
-hardware. To use this functionality, the master sources have to be configured

+Every EtherCAT master registers two read-only network interfaces,

 named \textit{ecdbgmX} (main device) and \textit{ecdbgbX} (backup device, for
 future use), where X is the master index. The below listing shows debug
