Stopping the Capture
The toolbar’s Stop Capture button is activated during a new capture, allowing
you to terminate the capture at any time. After you stop the capture:
1. The Elapsed field (in the status bar) changes to show the Start and Stop
date/time.
2. The status bar also displays the total number of cells or PDUs in the capture.
3. The Start button becomes active (turns green), allowing you to begin a new
capture using the same specifications (same device and filter).
As appropriate (i.e., if you save a large capture
then try to start a new capture or exit), the system
displays a message telling you how many captured
cells remain to be uploaded from the analysis
device to the Advisor (right), and asks whether
you want to finish uploading those cells. If you
proceed with the upload, it can take several minutes to complete. This is because
the analysis device captures traffic significantly faster (at full bandwidth) than
the Advisor can load the cells from the device to its memory.
Note: After stopping a capture, you can’t continue it to append additional cells. Instead, you can
click Start to begin a new capture using the same settings.
Capturing Using an Existing Filter
When you request a new capture
that uses an existing filter, you
specify the filterset you want to
use (shown right).
The capture display looks much
the same as for the Capture-All
option (see page 80), but includes
an additional area showing VCC
statistics:
