Hi everyone. I am trying to use WB55 dongle as ZigBee sniffer. I am program necessary binaries to dongle, install python, pyserial and wireshark. Now I can launch wireshark from cube monitor and connects to the dongle. At first try software asked me about desired ZigBee channel. And I choose one. But now I want to change channel and cant find where I can do this. If I starts capturing in wireshark it don't ask me about channel anymore.
Solved! Go to Solution.

You first have to stop the sniffing process as there is no way to dynamically change the channel while the capture process is running.
Then
1/ Start Wireshark
2/ Refresh Interfaces Captures
3/ Click on Wheel and select the channel
see picture bellow
4/ Start The capture process
5/ Stop the capture process
- If no data is capture then Wireshark return back to the State 3
- Else
- Click on blue shark fin to return back to state 3
- Or File > Close to return back to the state 3
Note also :
This sequence to switch to a new channel may be changed depending on the Wireshark release version the customer may use.
CubeMonitorRF embeds sniffer solution but we can consider it as an installer helper. Sniffing with STM32WB+Wireshark is a standalone application (from CubemonitorRf point of view).

Thank you for the answer. But I solve my problem with simply CC2531 TI dongle.
