How to: Save and View a Packet Capture
The wireless packets AirCheck G2 receives during discovery
are captured and stored in the capture buffer. When the
buffer is full, the next packet captured replaces the first
packet in the buffer and so on. Touching the
Refresh
button
clears the capture buffer and restarts packet capturing.
The packet capture is saved as a separate file, in addition to
the session file. The
Capture Filename
is always the session
Filename
with the .pcap file extension.
