Saving Test Sessions, Packet Captures, and Screenshots
97
Because they can be very large and require a wired
connection to upload to Link-Live, Packet Capture files
are always saved locally on the unit, regardless of
whether the Session File Destination is set to Link-Live or
Local. To upload capture files to Link-Live, go to Settings
> Manage Files.
3 Optionally, tap the drop-down arrow next to Capture File
Size to select a different capture file size. The default is
32 MB.
The Space Remaining field shows the amount of data
storage space the AirCheck G2 has available that is
allocated to capture files.
4 When finished, tap Save to save the session file and
capture file.
NOTE: Screen navigation is disabled while saving session
and capture files. Larger files take longer to save.
To view packet captures, first, export them onto a USB drive
or upload them to Link-Live, and then open them on a PC or
tablet with a packet capture viewing application.
See “How to: Export files to a USB drive,” page 103.
See “How to: Upload Files to Link-Live,” page 103.
Creating a Standalone Packet Capture
This section describes the options for creating an individual
Packet Capture on a selected channel.
NOTE: You can also save a packet capture containing
discovery data along with a session file. See “How to:
Save a Packet Capture with a Session File,” page 96.
You can access the Capture screen from the Channel, AP, or
Client Details screens, or from Settings > Capture. If you
access the Capture screen from a Channel, AP, or Client
details screen, the corresponding Channel and/or BSSID/MAC

device selected on the details screen.
1 Select Settings > Capture, or go to a details screen
for a Channel, Client, or Access Point, and tap the
Capture button at the bottom of the screen.
