Wireshark is the world’s foremost and widely-used network protocol analyzer. It lets you see what’s happening on your network at a microscopic level and is the de facto (and often de jure) standard across many commercial and non-profit enterprises, government agencies, and educational institutions.

TI Packet Sniffer users: TI recommends installing Wireshark first, so it gets detected and configured automatically during the setup of SmartRF Packet Sniffer 2.

Installation

Follow the next steps to install Wireshark:

  1. Download the latest stable version for Wireshark 3.0.x.

SmartRF Packet Sniffer 2 setup

To transfer data from SmartRF Packet Sniffer 2 Agent to Wireshark, follow the next steps:

  1. Verify that TI's SmartRF Packet Sniffer 2 plugins were installed in Wireshark in the Plugins tab in the About Wireshark window ( Help -> About Wireshark )
  • ti802154ge-x(86/64)-2x.dll
  • tirpi-x(86/64)-2x.dll
  • ti-ble-packet-info-x(86/64)-2x.dll

  1. Run Wireshark with the following arguments: wireshark.exe -i\\.\pipe\tiwspc_data -k

  2. Optionally, it is recommended to create a Windows Desktop shortcut to speed up this process. Open the properties dialog of a Wireshark shortcut and modify the Target field as follows: "C:\<path>\Wireshark.exe" -i\\.\pipe\tiwspc_data -k
