Chapter 1
Introduction
capt
2
web is a device to monitor wireless networks. Due to its small form factor it can be placed right in the best place
for wireless network traffic to be monitored. It provides a full-featured web based capture monitor software that
runs in all common web-browsers. Thus, the monitoring software can be accessed using any computer, independent
from the computer’s operating system. For common operation, neither hardware nor software installation applies
for the monitoring computer.
This document covers instructions for the use of capt
2
web . The first chapter contains the specifications of capt
