Running nRF Sniffer in Wireshark with custom options

To start listening on a custom channel and with custom out-of-band metadata settings, run the capturing tool in Wireshark from the Interface Options window.

To start sniffing:

1. In the main window of Wireshark, click the gear icon next to the nRF Sniffer for 802.15.4 hardware interface entry to open the Interface Options menu.
2. In you want to specify the Channel on which the packets are to be captured, use the Channel drop-down menu to select it.
3. If you want to get additional out-of-band metadata, use the Out-Of-Band meta-data drop-down menu to select the metadata type that corresponds to your version of Wireshark:
   • If you are using Wireshark v3.0 or later, select IEEE 802.15.4 TAP.
   • If you are using a Wireshark version earlier than v3.0, select Custom Lua dissector.
   
4. Optionally, you can check the Save parameter(s) on capture start option to save the settings for future captures. Keeping this option unchecked will reset the settings to the default values for the next capture.
5. Click Start to run nRF Sniffer.
