PCAP logging

¢
Status PCAP Logging
On this screen you can create a PCAP log file and save it for analysis at a later stage. PCAP
(Packet Capture) analyses the data traffic in the network at the phone-Ethernet interface. This
recording is carried out for diagnostic purposes and should only be made if requested by ser-
vice personnel.
¤
Click on Start. Every incoming or outgoing data packet to or from your phone is recorded.
¤
Click on Stop to stop recording.
¤
To save the PCAP file (pcapdump.pcap), click on Store and select a directory in the file sys-
tem on your PC where the file should be stored.
Please note
u
The information is recorded in a ring buffer that has limited storage capacity. If the
buffer is full, the first packets will be overwritten and lost. You should therefore attempt
to record scenarios that are as short as possible.
u
This logging uses a lot of memory and CPU power and can negatively affect how the
phone behaves (e.g., slowing the display screen, distorting the ringer etc.)
