Table 8-6. Summary Display Options
Displaying Captured Data
Two-station format If enabled, splits the display into left and
right panes, showing traffic between two
stations.
When you examine network activity, you
often want to focus on traffic between a
pair of stations. To do this, you can set up
display filters that define the two stations
and enable the Two-station format in
the Summary Display tab.
The two-station format shows transmission
from one station (the station that was
detected first) on the left side of the screen
and transmissions from the other station
on the right. The Source and Destination
columns from the single station display are
removed. Instead, there are two columns,
title From xxx and From yyy. A frame
from the station on the left is assumed to
be addressed to the station on the right,
and vice versa.
If you do not set filters limiting the display
of frames to two stations, Sniffer Portable
Professional will display frames from
additional stations in the usual format.
Since this is inconsistent with the
two-station format, it makes the feature
less useful.
Highlight selected frames If enabled, selected frames are highlighted
in the Summary pane.
