4.4 Wireshark
Wireshark is an application that monitors and analyzes network packets. As streams of data
pass through a network the application captures the data and decodes the information
contained therein. This function can be used to troubleshoot and analyze network information.
The software is free and can be downloaded from http://www.wireshark.org/download.html.
Once the software is installed run the Wireshark application. From the menu bar select
Capture and from the drop down menu that appears select Interfaces. A new window will
appear where the network device being used can be selected. Select the appropriate network
card and press Start.
All packets traveling through the network will now be monitored and displayed in the main
application window. To monitor BACnet packets only type “bacnet” into the filter field below the
menu bar and press Enter on your keyboard. Now only BACnet packets will be shown and all
other network traffic will be filtered out.
Select any packet to view details on its contents. The information in these packets can now be
used for troubleshooting or debugging purposes.
