6. Setting the Channel for Capture Microsoft Windows
Your ubisys IEEE 802.15.4 USB stick with Wireshark sniffer firmware is capable of capturing packets
on any of the 16 channels in the 2.4GHz band, i.e. channels 11-26 according to the IEEE 802.15.4
standard. However, only one channel at a time can be captured. If you need to capture more channels
concurrently, you will need one USB stick per channel, i.e. 16 sticks if you want to capture packets on
all channels simultaneously, e.g. to analyze frequency hopping systems.
In order to select the channel for capture, open Windows Device Manager and right-click on your
ubisys IEEE 802.15.4 Wireless Adapter for Wireshark and switch to the advanced settings tab:
Figure 4: Network Adapter Properties, Advanced Settings
Select the IEEE 802.15.4 Channel property and set its value to the channel you want to capture, i.e.
any decimal value in the range 11-26.
You can change the setting at any time. However, the adapter will disconnect and reconnect, so any
live-capture currently in progress will be interrupted.
