File Size Specify a maximum size limit in kilobytes for the total combined
size of all the capture files on the NWA3000-N series AP, including
any existing capture files and any new capture files you generate.
Note: If you have existing capture files you may need to set
this size larger or delete existing capture files.
The valid range is 1 to 50000. The NWA3000-N series AP stops the
capture and generates the capture file when either the file reaches
this size or the time period specified in the
Duration field expires.
File Prefix Specify text to add to the front of the file name in order to help you
identify frame capture files.
You can modify the prefix to also create new frame capture files
each time you perform a frame capture operation. Doing this does
no overwrite existing frame capture files.
The file format is: [file prefix].dump. For example, “monitor.dump”.
Capture Click this button to have the NWA3000-N series AP capture frames
according to the settings configured in this screen.
You can configure the NWA3000-N series AP while a frame capture
is in progress although you cannot modify the frame capture
settings.
The NWA3000-N series AP’s throughput or performance may be
affected while a frame capture is in progress.
After the NWA3000-N series AP finishes the capture it saves a
combined capture file for all APs. The total number of frame
capture files that you can save depends on the file sizes and the
available flash storage space. Once the flash storage space is full,
adding more frame captures will fail.
Stop Click this button to stop a currently running frame capture and
generate a combined capture file for all APs.
Reset Click this button to return the screen to its last-saved settings.
