Host Table View

From Detail View, click on the

button to open a window with Host Table View.

From Summary View, set the view preferences to

Host Table

to see this view in the

first tab.

Host Table View is available as a chart showing the ten MAC stations with the most
traffic or as a table showing all MAC stations. Click on the tab at the bottom of the
window to select

Table

or

Chart

.

The station address and name are provided in the table or chart. If a Surveyor name
table exists with an address-to-name entry for this station, the

Station Name

field

will be the station name in the name table. If no entry in a Surveyor name table
exists, the name of the

Station Name

field will be the vendor identifier followed by

the last 6 bytes of the station address.

Chart

Host Table View as a chart shows only ten MAC stations. The ten stations displayed
are those transmitting the largest relative percentage of frames. The chart can be
customized to show the “top ten” stations based on a different station information
field. The

Bar

and

Pie

buttons toggle the type of graphic display. The Pause/Resume

button allows you to pause or resume real-time update of the graph.

Table

Host Table View as a table shows network activity from the view of MAC stations.
The table lists statistics for all stations found. The table can be customized to
include other columns of information, or to delete columns you don’t want to see.
Table columns listed in italics are the default Host Table View columns.

Press the right mouse button on any table entry to create a filter using the selected
MAC station. See Chapter 7 for information on filters.
