This option simply enables/disables a ticking sound for each packet that is captured.
Select Adapter...
By selecting this, you will reopen the initial adapter selection window. This is useful
if you want to change the targeted interface that you are monitoring.
Set Buffer Size...
The Airscanner Mobile Sniffer™ buffer size refers to the storage settings used when
sniffing data. Due to the limited space, special consideration must be paid to the amount
of information that is captured. By selecting this option, you will gain access to three
main properties of data collection that can help you save space and narrow down the
information you are actually collecting.
The first option is the number of packets to collect. This is set at a default of 100
packets. This is a conservative setting, but we prefer to allow you to increase this setting
to a higher value as your Pocket PC device permits. If it is too high, you could quickly fill
up all spare space in your Pocket PC device. The second option, Packet Size Limit, was
added to allow you to focus only on header information. If you aren't concerned with the
data in the packet, this setting can be decreased to a lesser value, which will simply cut
off any data over the limit. Due to the specifications of the 802.11b standard, the
maximum packet size is approximately 1500 bytes, which is reflected in the default
setting. The final setting, max log size, simply defines the maximum amount of space to
be used to store collected data. Again, the default 500kb is a conservative amount, so you
will want to increase this to an amount relative to the space you have available.
