• Filter – A filter used to select the Wi-Fi packets wanted to be captured.
o MAC1 – Target MAC for wireless packet capturing, could be destination MAC or Source MAC.
Can be used together with MAC2 to be a combination for specifying the filter condition. For
example, to capture the bidirectional packets between client A (MAC1) and client B
(MAC2).
o MAC2 – Target MAC for wireless packet capturing, could be destination MAC or Source MAC.
Can be used together with MAC2 to be a combination for specifying the filter condition.
o Frame Type – Specify the 802.11 packet type that will be captured:
▪ 802.11 ALL – All the 802.11 packets mapping MAC address condition on the channel
will be captured, including management, data and control packets.
▪ 802.11 MGMT – The 802.11 management packets mapping MAC address condition on

▪ 802.11 DATA- The 802.11 data packets mapping MAC address condition on the
channel will be captured (Packet type: null/data/ data-cf-ack/ data-cf-poll/ data-
cf-ack-poll/ cf-ack/ cf-poll/ cf-ack-poll/ qos-data/ qos-data-cf-ack/ qos-data-cf-
