Multiple Channel Capture (applies to USB adapters only)
This section applies to all members of the AirPcap Product family except
AirPcap N
. When listening on a single channel is not enough, multiple
AirPcap adapters can be plugged in a PC and used at the same time to
capture traffic simultaneously from different channels.
The AirPcap driver provides support for this operation through to the
Multi-Channel Aggregator
technology, that exports capture streams from
multiple AirPcap adapters as a single capture stream.
The Multi-Channel Aggregator consists of a virtual interface that can be
used from Wireshark or any other AirPcap-based application. Using this
interface, the application will receive the traffic from all the installed
AirPcap adapters, as if it was coming from a single device.
The Multi-Channel Aggregator can be configured like any real AirPcap
device, and therefore can have its own decryption, FCS checking and
packet filtering settings.
