You can also use a packet sniffer such as Ethereal to look at the actual dialog of a program that does connect to the device already. With Ethereal, you can focus in on that TCP connection and see the dialog.Use a terminal and a telnet program to experiment.
Some network admins will think that mortals should not be using this method and others might become concerned, so you might want to check with the right folks before doing this.
Some packet sniffers are crippled and can only see traffic to and from the computer it is running on. That may be all you need and that should be acceptable to net cops. Also, it shouldn't take long to get a snapshot of the dialog, so it might be fastest to have a network admin type work with you or snag it for you.
If you can isolate the device and your test computer, that will work well, too.
