and external batteries) is the culprit. The analyzer will not power-up if the
batteries are completely discharged.
If the analyzer only powers up with the AC adapter connected, the internal
battery may be completely discharged.
The external battery has a charge indicator on the underside of the battery
pack. The external battery will need to be removed from the analyzer to view
the charge indicator. Press the charge indicator button to determine if the
external battery is charged.
Does the Windows wireless setup not support your network’s security settings?
If your analyzer is running Windows XP Service Pack 1, and the Windows
security settings do not support your wireless network, you may have to go to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;826942 and download
the wireless patches. These patches are included in Service Pack 2.
Known Issues/Limitations
1. When doing a capture within a WPA environment, the analyzer can decrypt
Broadcast frames (UI will ask you to link). Frames not destined for the analyzer
can not be decrypted.
2. If you are analyzing multiple Access Points with different security configuration
(WEP keys, WPA certificate, WPA passphrase, User ID and password), IP
address, Name and Packet Stats will not be discovered for those devices with
a different WEP key than the one currently set in the OptiView Wireless
Network Analyzer Setup | Configuration screen.

Index (continued)
3. In the Capture screen, the Source/Destination MAC filter supports Access
Point, and Access Point to client filtering. It does not support client-to-client
filtering. Entering two client MAC addresses will yield unexpected results.
4. Decoder issue: Shows incorrect Source/Destination MAC addresses if the
option "Configuration, Display, Display Network Address" is not checked.
Using the Online Help System
The help system is an integral part of the OptiView Wireless
Network Analyzer. While using the analyzer user interface, help
can be accessed by selecting the Help button located on the
bottom-right of the user interface screen.
When the Help is launched, the current screen topic is displayed. You can also
select a topic from the Contents tab (left pane), choose an Index entry, or
perform a full text Search on any help topic or term.
The Hide button collapses the left pane of the help screen giving
you more room to view Help topics. The Hide button is replaced
by the Show button. The Show button expands the left pane of
the Help screen.
You can also press the Back and Forward buttons to move
through the sequence of previous viewed topics.
The Print button allows you to either print the selected topic or
print the selected heading and all subtopics.
