Adding Custom Protocols to the ART Display
108 Sniffer Portable Professional
You can add custom protocols to the ART display in the same way you
add protocols for all monitor applications. Use the following procedure.
To add custom protocols to the ART display:
1 Display the Options dialog box by selecting the Options command
from the Tools menu.
2 In the Options dialog box, click on the Protocols tab.
3 The Protocols tab lets you add new upper-layer protocols for
monitoring (or change the port numbers associated with existing
upper-layer protocols).
If the protocol you want to add runs over TCP, make sure the
TCP tab at the bottom of the Protocols tab is displayed (this
is the default).
If the protocol you want to add runs over UDP, click on the
UDP tab at the bottom of the Protocols tab.
NOTE: ART does not support monitoring over protocols
running over IPX in this release.
4 Scroll to the bottom of the tab and click in the Name cell. Type in
the name by which you would like this protocol to be known in
Sniffer displays.
5 Click in the adjoining Port cell and type in the port number on
which the Sniffer should look for this protocol.
6 Click OK. You will be informed that the application must be
restarted for your changes to take effect. Restart the application.
7 Display the ART window by selecting the Application Response
Time command from the Monitor menu.
8 Click on the Properties button to display the ART Options dialog
box.
9 Click on the Display Protocols tab in the ART Options dialog box.
10 Click on either the TCP or UDP tab at the bottom of the Display
Protocols tab, depending on which type of protocol you added in
Step 3.
11 Scroll down to display the entry for the protocol you added in the
previous steps. Click the box next to this protocol to include it in
ART displays.
