Wire Shark not capturing Panelview Plus Traffic

[whiteazz]

Could anyone tell me how to capture data from a Panelview Plus 6 Version 7.0 using Kepware Server version 5.7 data back and forth from a CTI processor? I can ping the PV and see the request to the PV and the echo information returning. However I never see a PB cell or any screen information being written to/from the PLC.

I think you are going to need a switch that supports "Port Mirroring". You would set the switch up to mirror the PanelView's port to the port you are plugging into. Then you can run Wireshark to capture that data.

I think it was Ken who recommended this and it works well even just for additonal port while on-site:

Its port 1 and 5 are mirrored.

Ooh, now that looks pretty slick!

I spent $900 on a genuine ethernet tap many years ago. Love that thing. Now I need to buy this one too for those times where a AC plug is not available
