3.4.1 Network Configuration Display Window

The ZENA Wireless Network Analyzer provides an extra level of network monitoring

and analysis with the Network Configuration Display (NCD). Open the ZENA™

Network Configuration Display window by clicking the Network Configuration

Display button or by selecting the View>Network Configuration Display

menu option

on the Network Monitor window.

FIGURE 3-19: NETWORK CONFIGURATION DISPLAY WINDOW

The NCD window can be used during both real-time network monitoring and packet

playback. If the “Clear NCD on Start” checkbox on the Network Monitor window is

selected, then the NCD window will be cleared when real-time monitoring is started. If

you want the nodes to be retained, clear this checkbox.

Note: Due to heavy system loading during real-time monitoring, the NCD window

may not update properly during real-time monitoring, particularly if there is

a lot of network traffic and if “Auto Scroll” is enabled. For best results,

disable “Auto Scroll” if network traffic is heavy. The NCD window will update

properly during packet playback.
