ProSAFE Dual-Band Wireless AC Access Point WAC720 WAC730
Use the Packet Capture Tool
You can capture wireless packets to analyze traffic patterns with a network traffic analyzer
tool. The captured packet flow can show if traffic is flowing correctly to its destinations or if
packets are dropped. There is a limit to the size of the packet flow that you can capture in a
file.
To capture packets:
1. Select Monitoring > Packet Capture. The
Packet Capture page displays:
Figure 8.
2. Click Start to start capturing wireless packets leaving or entering the wireless access point
on the active operating channel. Packets on the 2.4 GHz interface and 5 GHz interface are
captured. Normal functioning of the wireless access point is not affected during the packet
capture process.
If any previously captured packets exist, you are prompted to delete them, and only then
can you capture new packets.
3. Click Stop to stop capturing packets.
4. Click Save as to save the pacture.pcap file on your computer or to a disk drive.
