The Real-Time Wi-Fi Packet Analyzer
Capture packets, see packet events and live packet statistics with Tonic
Why use a Wi-Fi Packet Analyzer?
When your network monitoring dashboard is giving the all-clear,
but the end user is still reporting Wi-Fi connection issues, it’s
time to send someone on site.
You know that the last step to troubleshooting endpoints is by
capturing network traffic because “the packets never lie.” But
with traditional Wi-Fi packet capture solutions, on-site techs
face the tedious task of guessing which channel (or channels) to
scan.
Tonic makes site visits simple
Enter Tonic, a Windows client that scans all neighboring channel
traffic (multiple channels simultaneously with multiple Wi-Fi
adapters plugged in) to find the problem spot quickly - no
guessing required.
No more crossing your fingers and hoping that your tech is not
wasting hours at a client site, only to open up the recording at
your desk and realize that the pcap they provided you contained
nothing useful.
Wi-Fi Troubleshooting your team can do
With Tonic, the process is simple: the technician goes on-site with Tonic and finds the problem device in the client list. Click on the device, and Tonic will monitor it as it roams across channels, associates, authenticates, etc. Depending on the root cause, the tech can then resolve the issues onsite, or quickly save a packet capture for later analysis back at the office. It’s as easy as File > Save PCAP.

The Deep Dive into Spectrum Analysis
Discover and identify sources of non-Wi-Fi interference with Chanalyzer
Powerful Dual-Band Spectrum
Chanalyzer works with the Wi-Spy DBx, a powerful spectrum analyzer
that measures Wi-Fi and non-Wi-Fi activity in both the 2.4 GHz and
5 GHz bands. Wi-Spy can hear (and show you) anything that makes
noise in the 2.4 and 5 GHz spectrum, enabling you to discover and
identify non-Wi-Fi interference.
Chanalyzer also has a built-in Wi-Fi scanner too, so it leverages
your laptop's built-in Wi-Fi adapter to scan for wireless neworks,
which is great for correlating spectrum analysis data with Wi-Fi
activity!
Record Intermittent Issues Over Time
Remember DVR's? So do we, and it turns out that they're super
useful when it comes to spectrum analysis!
Use Chanalyzer's recording and playback feautres to quickly pause,
rewind, and play back spectrum analysis and Wi-Fi scanning data.
Dealing with intermittent interference? No problem - Chanalyzer's
Waterfall Navigation makes scrubbing through hours of recording
(just like skipping commercials), so you can find that
interference needle in the haystack!
Note: Chanalyzer requires a Wi-Spy DBx to perform live spectrum
analysis and recording. Be sure to grab one at checkout!

Powerful Visual Packet Analysis
Perform in-depth Wi-Fi protocol and performance analysis with Eye P.A.
Visualize Airtime Usage and Retry Rates
Eye P.A. turns packet analysis on it's head by visualizing Airtime
Usage! Use Eye P.A.'s innovative "treepies" (multilayer pie
charts) to see which networks, access points, and clients are
consuming the most airtime. Quickly see top talkers, and which
clients and AP's are repeating themselves and clogging up valuable
airtime.
Eye P.A. also features powerful filters, so you can find the exact
AP/client conversation that you're looking for, and filter down to
the specific 802.11 frames that you're interested in. You can even
export the results to Wireshark!
Simultaneous Multi-Channel Packet Capture
Connect up to 6 supported packet capture adapters to enable
simultaneous, multi-channel packet captures! Multi-channel capture
is critical when troubleshooting client roaming issues, especially
when Voice ovecr Wi-Fi is involved. Collect packets without having
to launch another program!
Note: Eye P.A. requires at least one supported packet capture
adapter, so be sure to grab one at checkout! Eye P.A. will also
open most Wi-Fi packet captures, if you bring your own. Ethernet
PCAP files are not supported.
