Capsa provides a VoIP analysis module to capture and analyze VoIP calls and graphically display VoIP analysis results, which helps IT staff baseline and troubleshoot VoIP-based networks.
Capsa will now send an email to your email box, and/or play sound, when an alarm is triggered. When you are out of office, this function will make sure you are timely notified when there is something going wrong on your network.
Task scheduler provides the ability to run packet capture and analysis at pre-defined time automatically, which can be scheduled to run one time, daily or weekly.
TCP packets reveal useful information to help us troubleshoot slow network, especially for the cases like slow website response, slow CRM transactions and slow downloading or uploading, etc.
Ethernet
Capsa will run with a NDIS 3 or higher compatible Ethernet, Fast Ethernet, or Gigabit promiscuous mode network adapter. Promiscuous mode is the ability to have Capsa take over the driver and put it into a mode that will allow it to passively capture all packets on an Ethernet wire, regardless of the address to which they are being sent/received.
