Capture Menu#

When you click the Capture menu, the Capture page displays, where you can prepare one or more devices to capture the radio traffic from the device packet trace interface (PTI) in WireShark pcapng format for analysis in Wireshark. After you set up and run these capture interfaces, you can start or stop them whenever needed.

You can have several devices in a group, where you can capture all the devices or one at a time.

Note: A single device cannot be part of multiple capture interfaces.

Follow these steps to capture an interface:

  1. Either click New Capture at the top of the page or the Create Capture Interface button in the middle of the page.
