hey there, i need to send some hex strings via tcp/ip from device to device, directly connected, so i tried first to connect the server device to the computer and send the commands manually via PacketSender. The device opens connection after i send the commands and acts the way it's supposed to. but when i connect the device that is supposed to send that commands , that are already formatted ( the string i used to test is one of the strings that the master device outputs ) , it doesn't open the connection. does packetsender adds extra content to the string? i don't have access to source codes to check this out. After all this i installed wireshark and kinda traced what is happening. it shows a error "ETHERNET FRAME CHECK SEQUENCE INCORRECT" after asking for the device at 192.168.0.180( server device ip). i read before that this is normal when using wireshark. yet, after this, there's no connection open. In conclusion, can someone explain how does packetsender works? i read that it uses mixed-Ascii.. but it shows the Hex values too. and i'm formatting the master device to output hex string too.. thank you! asked 07 Jan '16, 09:28  geniodomal closed 07 Jan '16, 10:11  grahamb ♦ |

PacketSender is not part of the Wireshark suite, you'll have to look for support for it over at their site.
