Drilling down into the Bacnet packet you can see the concept is carried even further. In the example below you can see the bacnet packet nested inside a UDP (User Datagram Protocol) which is nested inside an IP protocol packet which is in turn nested inside an Ethernet packet. You drill down to see the detail you want. When it arrives the process is reversed until finally the contents are passed to the bacnet application.Įthernet packets contain packets from other higher level protocols nested inside each other. He addresses the envelope with a hardware address and sends it to that computer. The Ethernet clerk takes your letter and puts it in a bigger envelope. He passes it to the Ethernet post office clerk. He addresses the envelope with an IP address. The IP clerk takes your letter and puts it in a bigger envelope. He passes it to the IP post office clerk. He addresses the envelope with a UDP address. The UDP clerk takes your letter and puts it in a bigger envelope.

The clerk says he does not understand the address. When you take it to the bacnet post office. Think of a bacnet packet as a letter you send to a bacnet device. You can break out the level of detail by expanding the sections of the packet. A breakout of the selected packet’s data is shown below the packet list.Ħ. For now simply type bacnet into the filter field and click apply.ĥ. A list of packets accumulates on the screen.Ĥ. Select the options button to define a capture filter. Most often it’s the adapter with the packet count increasingĬ. Pick the one connected to the network of interest. You can use the expression builder to build filter expressionsįrom the drop down list of protocols there are two specifically related to BACnet. Looking for messages to/from particular devices Looking for a particular Object: In this example all messages which reference AI(1) are listed.īacapp.instance_number = 1 & bacapp.objectType = 0 Looking for messages which specify particular objects types: Type5 are errors, Type6 are Reject messages and type 7 are abort messages.īacapp.type = 5 || bacapp.type = 6 || bacapp.type = 7 You can use the expression builder to build selection criteria for filters. It’s easy to sort packets by source or destination IP, Click the column headings.
