How Omnipliance WiFi Works

1. Using the WLAN controller UI, put the desired APs in “sniffer” mode, and direct the packets to Omnipliance WiFi – packets start flowing

2. Using OmniPeek, connect to Omnipliance WiFi and configure your Remote Adapter capture

3. Start the capture – analysis (and storage) of all packets from the APs begin immediately
