•Remotecapturemode
Forcapturefilemode,capturedpacketsarestoredinafileontheAccessPoint.TheAPcantransferthefileto
aTFTPserver.Thefileisformattedinpcapformatandcanbeexaminedusingtoolssuch
asWiresharkand
OmniPeek.
Forremotecapturemode,thecapturedpacketsareredirectedinrealtimetoanexternalPCrunningthe
Wireshark®tool.
