Data captured by other analyzer
vendors and stored in one of the ZigBee endorsed file formats used by
certification entities (extension .DCF and .PCAP) can be loaded and analyzed
also with the Perytons™ Protocol Analyzer.
Additionally an on-line file
converter service for these as well as additional file formats is available at
http://www.perytons.com/ZigBee/file-converter/.
The file formats supported by the file converter are:
•.DCF files captured by the Daintree SNA analyzer
•.PSD files captured by the TI sniffer
•.PCAP files
captured by WireShark, either directly (native 802.15.4), or encapsulated in
Ethernet packets.
Note: Two types of PCAP file are supported. One
holding MAC15.4 messages and one holding IP messages for 6LoWPAN/ZigBee IP
application level analysis. In the second case, the analyzer will replace the
Ethernet header by dummy MAC and 6LoWPAN headers.
•.ISD files captured by Ember (now SiLabs) tools
Note: .DCF or .PCAP files
(unlike .ANL files) may not contain some information that is needed to fully
analyze the captured data (e.g. .PCAP files do not include the encryption keys
used to decipher the captured data besides of those exchanged during capture,
.DCF files will not get updated with new Security Keys, .DCF files can't be used
for Traffic Generation or batch operation). In such case the user may need to
load such missing information manually into the analyzer.
If using a non .ANL
capture file format, the user will be given the option to save such files into
the .ANL format.
