User's Guide

Table Of Contents
Options are provided to display devices with broadcast frames, devices with multicast frames, or both.
Just select the checkbox for the option you want.
The Data Frames and Bytes fields display the count of data frames and bytes.
If more than 50,000 frames have been captured during the Live View session, only the most recent
50,000 frames are displayed.
Devices are listed in three columns: Wireless (wireless devices), APs and Wired (wired devices). Device
columns may be disabled or re-enabled by using the hide ( )/show ( ) button next to the column
name. For example, if the APs column is hidden, then connections will be shown directly from the
source to the destination without the BSS in the middle.
A connection is defined as a set of devices referenced by a single data frame. Typically, a connection will
involve three devices (source, destination, and BSS); but, in some cases may involve four devices
(wireless bridging).
A line is defined as a link between two devices. Each connection is made up of multiple lines and each
line may be part of multiple connections. The intensity and Z-order (whether a line is on top or bottom)
of a line is based on the number of frames between the two devices.
Clicking on a device selects a connection involving that device. The devices and lines involved in the
connection will be highlighted.
If you continue clicking on the device, the graph will cycle through the connections involving the
selected device. Buttons are also provided to cycle through the connections.
The Data Frames and Bytes fields will only show the data corresponding to the selected connection.
Devices Tab
The Devices tab displays the devices that have been seen during a Live Monitoring session in tabular
format.
