term by leaving the box blank. You can toggle this selection later using
the Toggle NOT button.

When you click the Mine button at the base of the Quick Select window,
the Sniffer Adaptive Application Analyzer will evaluate the selected filter
to see if it contains any terms that do not apply to the selected stream
or trace file. If the selected filter is incompatible with the selected stream
or trace file, you will be prompted to select a new filter or modify the
current filter.
Filter Criteria for Adaptive Workflows
When creating filters from the Adaptive Session or Decode views, only
IP Address and Port criteria are available for use.
Filters created from the Quick Select window that include criteria other
than IP addresses and ports (for example, a MAC address) will not return
any matching data when used against the Adaptive views.
Supply in hexadecimal format.
