Capture Settings - netAlly EtherScope nXG Controlled Edition User Manual

Capture Settings

The Capture app settings allow you to switch
between Wired and Wi-Fi, designate file and
slice sizes, and apply filters to capture and
analyze only certain packet types. For example,
you can set a wired filter to capture only
packets related to a specific application (based
on IP address and port number), or create a Wi-
Fi filter to capture only packets to and from a
particular AP or client.
When you open Capture from Home and do not
configure any filters, all packets from the
switch or channel are captured. The default
Wired capture saves all the packets sent from
the local switch to the EtherScope. The default
Wi-Fi capture saves the packets seen on
channel 1.
If you open the Capture app from another
NetAlly test app, Capture filters are auto-
matically applied. Filters that can be applied
from other apps include Wired IP and MAC or
Wi-Fi Channel, Channel Width, and BSSID.
For example, the
Wi-Fi app's
