For example, as a possible implementation manner, in an embodiment of the present invention, the digital signal may carry a data packet, and the second preset condition may include at least one of: the judgment module can judge whether the data packet belongs to data transmitted by the signal transmitting equipment for the interception operation according to the judgment conditions respectively or one by one.
Further, in the embodiment of the present invention, the screened digital signal may be analyzed by an analysis module connected to the determination module to obtain information carried in the digital signal, and the analyzed information may be regarded as information content transmitted by the signal sending device for the listening operation. On this basis, according to the interception device provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the analyzed information can be further transmitted to the display 206, and the information is presented to the management or maintenance personnel through the display 206, so as to solve the technical problem how to enable the management or maintenance personnel of the network to master the information transmitted by the signal sending equipment in the network in the networking or actual operation process of the micropower wireless network.
