DatasheetLocal Process Analysis“Capsa Enterprise is anenormous, well-engineered,technical and highlyprofessional product thatprovides almost everything youcould want for network andprotocol analysis and reportingat a reasonable price.”-NetworkWorld.comCapsa provides a Process view, which provides traffic statistics for local processes,including total bytes, packets, Bps, bps, pps, path,etc. You can double-click a process to view allpackets for that process. Also a Process Exploreris provided to group the processes, listing theprocess name and process ID in a tree-likestructure. A Process column is provided for TCPConversation view and UDP Conversation view to show the process name of thatTCP/UDP conversation, which helps users troubleshoot quickly.VoIP Analysis SupportCapsa provides a VoIP analysis module to real-time capture and analyze VoIP callsand graphically display VoIP analysis results. Together with VoIP Explorer andVoIP diagnosis, the VoIP view helps you visualize analysis data and assess voiceand video quality, to thereby assist you troubleshooting VoIP networks, softwareand hardware.“Having the right tools on thenetwork is critical to a networkadministrator' s success. In thisTechRepublic blog post, IT JediRick Vanover takes a look atthe Colasoft Capsa tool fornetwork analytics.”TCP Transaction AnalysisCapsa presents a comprehensive high-leveloverview of health of applications on yournetwork. From TCP transaction analysis, you candrill down to gain access to more detailedinformation, including TCP server/clientresponse time, delay, retransmissions, andfurther down to the server flow to observe theactual content of the flow. This unparalleled level of control and visibility speedstime to application problem resolution and minimize overall network downtime.Timely Alarms“Wherever and whenever anetworking issue arises I amalways able to have myColasoft Capsa on-hand todiagnose, and resolve, complexissues.”Alarms are a set of rules that monitor or dostatistics on the communications of thenetwork. Colasoft Capsa notifies you that aspecific activity is violating the alarm rules bypop-up notifications to attract your attentiontimely.You can deal with the anomalies at the firstplace instead of noticing them until greatdamages. Alarm rules can be created from almost anywhere in the program byany MAC address, IP address and protocol etc. If you are not around, alarmactions are logged and saved to hard disk with groups of top 10 statistics for yourlater reference.Copyright 2020 Colasoft.

DatasheetAuto-Run Packet Capture“Chances are, if you're incharge of supporting a networkof any size, you’ll need to lookat the actual packets that arepassing back and forth acrossthat network. Whether it’s tosee whether a specific machineis sending or receiving packetsas it should, or you want to seethe contents of the packetsthemselves, .”“As computers become moreingrained in the daily operationsof most companies, it seemsthat running into problemsoccurs more frequently and withgreater consequences. When itcomes to computer networks,the key issues are security,speed, and reliability. A newlyimproved network analyzercalled Capsa 6.9 R2, developedby Colasoft Inc., can helpcompanies monitor, detect, andtroubleshoot networkproblems ”Task scheduler is provided to run a packet capture and analysis at a specified timeautomatically. This function is designed for the mission to capture packets whilethe user is away from the network. For example, Capsa can be launchedautomatically to capture packets at midnight, and the packets can be analyzedlater next morning. Capsa can also be scheduled to run capture periodically eachday, or specified days of each week. For example, an auto-run packet capture taskcan be created if it’s only needed to analyze network packets between 9:00 and17:00 from Monday to Friday.Powerful DashboardGraphs and charts are intuitive and helpful forusers to learn whether the network is workingnormally. The Dashboard allows you tocustomize and create useful graphs and chartsin different panels to get statistics on any MACaddress, IP address and protocol, etc., or topstatistics of certain objective. These graphs andcharts help you find out anomalies at a glancewithout any viewing of statistic data. Some charts provide interactive with users,which helps users locate network problems.Complete 802.11 a/b/g/n SupportWireless networking is overwhelmingly compelling - it's cheap, easy, and portable.As an innovative and high quality network analysis solution for building the latestsafe wireless network, Capsa Enterprise helps to measure applicationsperformance, monitor network activities, troubleshoot network problems, andevaluate network security. Capsa Enterprise has been launched with seamless WiFi technology adoption for 802.11 a/b/g/n networks.User Activities LogsLog is one of the most useful features forCapsa, it is used to monitor and audit the useractivities of DNS queries, Emails, HTTP webvisit, FTP operations, SSL certification records,VoIP signaling calls and VoIP calls.All activity logs can be saved to filesautomatically, and even the content of eachemail can be saved as well. It provides detailedinformation and empowers administrators totrack and audit common online activities ofevery user in their wireless networks.Copyright 2020 Colasoft. All rights reserved.3
DatasheetEasy-to-set, Visualized FiltersFeatured CustomersFilter is an important way to exclude irrelevant packets. Traditional NetworkAnalyze tool gives only logical commandexpression or coding type filter. It could beflexible into byte accuracy but veryannoying because of the extremelyignorable filter direction issue, and alsobecause the complexity of expression growshigher rapidly upon with the flexibility.Capsa Enterprise gives a visualized filter thatusers can view the status of filters applied to the project. It reduced the possibilityof filter misconfiguration of misapplied direction. And the logic in a visualized waymake sense more than only a command line over there. Besides capture filter,Capsa provides display filter which helps you view only interested items.Useful and Valuable Built-in ToolsThe built-in tools are simple but powerful. Similar to a scalpel, very sharp, but toosharp that could also be dangerous. Some ofthem will allow user to manipulate the trafficas they like, and some will be able to do atotal scan over the entire LAN or initiate aconnectivity test to one or multiple specificPoint throughout the network.When using the built-in tools like packet builder, or packet player to manipulatethe network traffic, a decent understanding of the current environment andprofessional knowledge of how TCP/IP over different media works is veryimportant. So, it is ok to see the network by only scan or test, but don’t try tomanipulate the traffic unless you are an expert.About ColasoftColasoft has dedicated itself to thedevelopment of innovative packet analysisand network performance managementsolutions since 2001.
