1. To start Discover Network Names, select Tools > Discover Network Names from
the main Observer menu or click on the icon on the toolbar.
2. To start discovering network names, click on the mode toolbar. Observer
will begin to collect all of the active addresses on the network. Addresses will be
added immediately as each station accesses the network or as each station is contacted

passively “listen” to your network and record all of the addresses seen.
