Hello, One thing about SmartSniff (I use it for years), take care to use it with WinPCap as it may miss ingoing or outgoing datas depending your WinOS version.
Also if you can't connect to IP addr of the device then it may not use TCP but UDP, this is quite usual with embedded devices. regards. TB> Ah ha! Thank you Angus and Piotr... TB> Many "happy" tens of minutes spent "playing" with the excellent TB> suggestions. TB> SmartSniffer.... Wonderful! Fascinating! TB> Telnet... Ah yes, the "good old days"... I've burned hours with TB> Telnet before, given my limited grasp of what I'm doing. (Last time TB> it was with Dallas TINIs... faulty ones, at that!) TB> I haven't tried Overbyte's Telnet... yet. Preferred to start with the TB> bog standard one, see how I got on with that. TB> ==== TB> The rest of this rambles a bit... don't feel bad, Gentle Reader, if TB> you decide to peruse no further! TB> Smartsniffer, if I've understood things aright, shows that the vendor- TB> supplied software talks to the device over 192.168.0.241, port 5200 TB> Tried, under telnet, TB> o 192.168.0.241 5200 TB> .... also.... TB> o 192.168.0.241 16000 TB> .... and various variations using the other IP addresses in the config TB> report. Telnet says "Connecting to 192.160.0.241..." ... but just TB> sits there with that on the screen when I enter the first, and comes TB> back quickly with "Could not open connection..." with the second. TB> SmartSniffer doesn't "see" any interaction between 192.168.0.2 and TB> 192.168.0.241 in either case. TB> Suspending my anti-malware for a few minutes led to "interesting" TB> results in SmartSniffer! TB> By the way... yes... I have approached the manufacturer, too! They're TB> "getting back to me". TB> A clue? TB> In the SmartSniffer report on the "conversation" being held between TB> the device and my XP PC, the local address and port are 192.168.0.2 / TB> 1506 TB> 192.168.0.2 *IS* the address I'd expect for the PC running TB> SmartSniffer, and my Telnet attempts. Not sure if I need to do TB> anything about the 1506? Do I somehow have to tell Telnet to watch TB> for answers from ..241 to be directed to 1506? Is there a way? TB> By the way... I do try to remember to shut down the vendor-supplied TB> software when attempting a connection via Telnet. TB> And thank you, all, for helping with a not-strictly-ICS matter... but TB> I will use ICS (with Delphi 7, or maybe Lazarus) to write MY software TB> for monitoring the TEMPerLAN... one day...
