DESCRIPTION
Specify text to add to the front of the file name in order to help you identify
frame capture files.
You can modify the prefix to also create new frame capture files each time
you perform a frame capture operation. Doing this does no overwrite
existing frame capture files.
The file format is: [file prefix].dump. For example, "monitor.dump".
Click this button to have the device capture frames according to the
settings configured in this screen.
You can configure the device while a frame capture is in progress although
you cannot modify the frame capture settings.
The device's throughput or performance may be affected while a frame
capture is in progress.
After the device finishes the capture it saves a combined capture file for all
APs. The total number of frame capture files that you can save depends on
the file sizes and the available flash storage space. Once the flash storage
space is full, adding more frame captures will fail.
Click this button to stop a currently running frame capture and generate a
combined capture file for all APs.
Click this button to return the screen to its last-saved settings.
