Chart

Host Matrix View as a chart shows only ten MAC conversations. The ten conversations displayed are those transmitting the largest relative percentage of frames. The chart can be customized to show the “top ten” conversations based on a different 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 Matrix View as a table shows network activity from the view of MAC station pairs. The table lists statistics for all pairs found. The table can be customized to include other columns of information. Table columns listed in italics are the default Host Matrix View columns.

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