Preference Settings

Example capture file

XXX - Add a simple example capture file to the SampleCaptures page and link from here (see below). Keep this file short, it's also a good idea to gzip it to make it even smaller, as Wireshark can open gzipped files automatically.

Display Filter

A complete list of MAC-LTE display filter fields can be found in the display filter reference

Show only the MAC-LTE based traffic:

Capture Filter

You cannot directly filter MAC-LTE protocol frames while capturing. But, if you are using the supported UDP framing format, you may be able to filter on the UDP port you know that you are using, e.g.

  udp port 9999
