The filter is useful for displaying only selected packets in the Packet Sniffer window. For

example, suppose we want to see all beacons generated by our network. Set up the

filter as follows:

1. Clear all “MAC Commands” checkboxes except “MAC Beacon”.

2. Clear all “NWK Commands” checkboxes.

3. Clear all “APS Commands”, “Data” and “Acknowledge” entries.

4. Clear all “Source Address” and “Destination Address” entries.

5. Select the “OR” option.

6. Click Apply Filter.

The Packet Sniffer window will then display all beacon packets and hide all others.

Refer to Figure 3-16.

Note: If the current data was loaded from a saved file, Source Addresses and

Destination Addresses will be blank until packets are played back.

It may be necessary to disable and re-enable the filter to display addresses.
