Configure ZiGate as sniffer
ZiGate preparation
ZiGate comes with a CP2102 (red board) usb to ttl converter.
However the sniffer firmware is configured to 1000000 bps which this board does not support.
Hence you need an another chipset that support this type of not standard speed.
I only found the FTDI232 that supports it.

ZiGate sniffer
The ZiGate can be flashed to have a firmware for ZigBee sniffing.
-
using a flash programmer
https://github.com/fairecasoimeme/ZiGate/tree/master/Tools/FlashProgrammer
-
flash this firmware

Sniffer tool
You can use the following software (get the exe for windows) to inject the packet in the loopback device on windows. Basically it will simulate udp packet that you can then analyze using wireshark
https://github.com/Codemonkey1973/JN51xx-802.15.4-Sniffer-Server
run the following command if your zigate is on COM4 and you want to sniff channel 25
JN51xx-802.15.4-Sniffer-Server.exe -s COM4 -c 25
- Wireshark
In wireshark, then use Capture->Options->in the list of adapters, choose “Adapter for loopback traffic capture”
then click start
You can filter only zigbee packet with “udp.port == 49999” as a filter
