●
WLAN Capture Mode (only in access point mode)
Specify the recording mode for the WLAN interface:
–
Own Traffic
In this case, the frames are recorded that were received and sent by the device.
Exception: The data packets dealt with directly by the hardware are not displayed, for
example hardware repetitions, acknowledgment frames.
–
All Traffic
The access point sends no more frames but records all incoming data packets.
Note
No WLAN communication between access point and clients
If the setting "All Traffic" is used, the access point is no longer reachable for other
nodes and loses the connected clients.
