Only the people reading the data will be able to determine if the data is correct and/or missing. It's just displaying information and helping dissect the packets. NOTE: Wireshark as a tool does not know or tell you if the data it's showing you is correct. Under Capture, click on AirPcap USB wireless capture adapter to select the capture interface. Use the Wireless Toolbar to configure the desired channel and channel width. Most of the time Wireshark captures will be sent to ETC for diagnosis, but the information below is provided to help users understand how sACN priority can be found in the packets. The Wireless Toolbar will appear just below the Main toolbar. ETC Technical Support can help determine where the best place to plug into the network is, or which device's traffic needs captured. If you're using this tool chances are high that you're already working with ETC Technical Support for assistance.Īs a starting point, reference the information in Wireshark - Setup and Background Info for the basics of setting up a capture. For sACN troubleshooting it's typically only used when very deep troubleshooting is needed, and often requires port-mirroring specific devices to see what data is or is not being sent to/from said device. Wireshark is a free third-party utility used to capture raw packet information on a network. When there are unexpected results, and sACNview isn't providing the necessary information to solve the problem, using Wireshark to capture network data may be a next step. As discussed in Difference between sACN per-address and per-port priority, ANSI E1.31 streaming ACN (sACN) priority is a powerful way to determine which source's levels will be used on lighting networks.
