Figure 17: Diversity capture with five Sticks. Certain nodes (e.g. 0xc6fa), only received by one out of five sticks.
The figure above shows the benefit of diversity capture. The tagged group of link status messages from
node 0xbd2d is received by all sticks concurrently, as expected. But only one out of five sticks was
able to receive a message from node 0xc6fa at the border of wireless range.
Notice: Simultaneous capture on multiple interfaces is inherently supported by later versions of
Wireshark as shown above. The information below remains available for reference, only.
This can be achieved with Windows built-in network bridge feature. Open the network connections
view and select the ubisys IEEE 802.15.4 adapters you want to group. Right-click on one of them and
select the Bridge Connections command from the context menu that appears. This will create a
network bridge.
