How can I decode LG 8979 packets with Wireshark?

0

I have a capture which shows communication between a LG 8979 server and client pair operating via TCP. Can someone help me with decoding the packets as LG 8979 protocol? Now I see the capture with TCP and Telnet packets.

First, you will need to run Wireshark 1.12 or later, as earlier versions don't support dissecting that protocol.

Then, you will need to change the "L&G 8979 Protocol Port" preference for the L&G 8979 protocol to the port number being used, or select one of the packets in the TCP connection and use "Decode As" to specify that it should be decoded as L&G 8979.
