802.15.4 Sniffer for Network and Protocol Analysis
IEEE 802.15.4 is a leading MAC/PHY standard for smart energy
networks, home automation, sensor networks, and many other exciting
applications. With a variety of upper layers protocols such as
ZigBee,
ZigBee RF4CE,
6loWPAN,
JenNet, X-Mesh and many other standard or proprietary ones.
The variety of players in this evolving arena and numerous of upper layers
protocols and applications - combined with the assortment of features and
options proposed by the standard - can turn the development, debugging, and
rollout of 802.15.4 based solutions under demanding time-to-market constraints,
into a big challenge.
Overcoming this challenge, Perytons protocol analyzers (sometimes referred in the
market also as sniffer) are an indispensable tool for development, integration,
installation, monitoring, and troubleshooting systems and products based on
these protocols. Perytons analyzers combine full coverage of the 2.4Ghz and Sub
Ghz bands
with a rich and user-friendly analysis toolbox. Ours are the only analyzers in
the market today that support multi-antenna operation.
In addition for the basic 802.15.4 sniffing, the Perytons analyzers product line
supports the ZigBee and 6LoWPAN protocols. It also allows easy customization by
the user or by the Perytons team, adding proprietary protocol and application
layers into the analyzer environment and making it the best end-to-end tool for
Multi-channel networks analysis. |

Analyzer, the user benefits Perytons enhanced features. |
Multi-channel networks analysis |
 |
|
The
802.15.4 PHY defines 16 possible communication channels in the 2.4Ghz ISM band.
Perytons analyzers capture multiple channels simultaneously, enabling the
analysis of multiple networks operating
in the same environment.[read

Reliability |
| The Perytons analyzers are unique in the
use of antenna diversity techniques, providing superior reliability through
reducing the number packets lost due to RF indoor multi-path propagation
conditions, and reducing interference from up to 15% to less than 0.1%.

Big picture perspective
|
|
|
A
unique Time View provides a two-dimensional message chart over time for an
intuitive overview of processes and transactions taking place across the
network. The vertical axis displays messages by channel, device ID, or PAN ID,
making it much easier and faster to recognize and understand processes and
transactions.[read

For Network Layer analysis, Perytons offers an easy-to-understand network view
displaying different devices, their type, the relations between them, and mesh
communication routes. |
Ease of use
|
|
|
| Rich graphical interface
requiring minimal text input provides an intuitive user experience with minimal
training and a short learning curve. Perytons analyzers display the “meaning
behind the bits” with informative screen tips explaining the field and its
current value as defined by the relevant standard. |
Ease of sharing |
| The Perytons analyzers allow the
user to save full analyzer states as a workspace file to share configurations
and scenarios of interest colleagues, vendors, or the back office. |
Flexibility
|
|
|
With the Open Source Rules the user can enhance capabilities
of the analyzer in different dimensions like monitoring of live-networks; change the look and feel of the existing views
(time, message, network,
etc.), definition of customizable statistic charts, interconnection to external
applications through numerous communication ports and protocols, e-mail, etc.,
and more.

Sophistication
|
|
|
| A sophisticated, feature-rich
toolbox helps identify and analyze problematic scenarios, using charts that
summarize properties of captured data, flexible data export tools, and various
detailed search tools for identifying messages by the value or appearance of a
field or hierarchy of fields. Messages can also be compared with one another for
detailed analysis or sorted by a variety of indexes. |
Add your own protocol
|
|
|
|
Perytons analyzers allow the user to add his
own application or protocol running over any of the existing protocol layers,
enhancing productivity and gaining a valuable marketing and support tool,
completely customized for user unique needs.
