Simple connect one of the two CAN channels to the network you like to monitor, open PCAN-View (part of the product, or download here if you did not install the feature while running the Device Driver Setup)
You need to know the Budrate of the CAN Network, and for security reason, please select "Listen Only" mode , so that you could not generate Eror Frames if the Baudrate does not fit.

Thanks Wilhelm for the response. Actually my doubt was, consider that i have connected the external CAN controller to the one of the Peak Channel , does this controller list down in the available PCAN Hardware (PCAN View)..? If not How to identify the external controllers ? and also how to configure the external controller in Tx/Rx mode.?

You need to configure your second CAN node (whatever it is) to work with the same baudrate like you select in PCAN-View. This must be done in the second CAN node - youc ould not "remote" set the Baudrate. You need to read the manual of the other CAN node / CAN board.
