To support better diagnostics in the WLAN, a number of trace parameters can be specifically adjusted under .
- Trace-Data-Packets
- The output of the trace messages can be restricted to certain data packets.
- Possible values:
- Normal
- ZERO
- Other
- Default:
- Normal
- ZERO
- Other
- Trace MAC
- For the WLAN data trace, the output of the trace messages can be restricted to the particular client with the MAC address entered here.
- Possible values:
- Max. 12 hexadecimal characters from
- 0123456789abcdef
- Default:
- 000000000000
- Special values:
- 000000000000: Deactivates this function and outputs trace messages for all clients.
Note: This filter is effective for the traces WLAN-DATA, WLAN-STRENGTH and WLAN-AGGREGATION, but not for WLAN-STATUS. - Trace-Mgmt-Packets
- With this selection it is possible to set which type of management frames should automatically appear in the WLAN-DATA trace
- Possible values:
- Association: (Re)Association Request/Response, Disassociate
- Authentication: Authentication, Deauthentication
- Probes: Probe Request, Probe Response
- Action
- Beacon
- Other: all other management frame types
- Default:
- Association
- Authentication
- Probes
- Action
- Other
- Trace packets
- Similar to Trace MAC and Trace level, the output from WLAN DATA traces can be restricted by the type of packet sent or received, e.g. management (authenticate, association, action, probe-request/response), control (e.g. powersave poll), EAPOL (802.1x negotiation, WPA key handshake).
- Possible values:
- Management
- Control
- Data
- EAPOL
- All
- Default:
- All
- Trace level
- The output of trace messages for the WLAN data trace can be restricted to contain certain content only. The value entered here restricts the packets in the WLAN-DATA trace to the specified level.
- Possible values:
- 0 to 255
- Special values:
- 0: Reports that a packet has been received/sent
- 1: Adds the physical parameters for the packets (data rate, signal strength, etc.)
- 2: Adds the MAC header
- 3: Adds the Layer-3 header (e.g. IP/IPX)
- 4: Adds the Layer-4 header (TCP, UDP...)
- 5: Adds the TCP/UDP payload
- 255: No restrictions on content. The trace includes the entire packets.
- Default:
- 255
