You need to set the dissector port (defaults to 0), either by editing the dissector preferences (Edit -> Preferences -> Protocols -> SML) or by right clicking any packet in the list and selecting "Decode As..." (or from the menu Analyze -> Decode As...) and choosing TCP port 7259 (for the example capture).

Thank you for the fast reply.

Now that works for me. But how do I act in case of an offline file without a tcp frame?

The SML dissector only dissects traffic over UDP or TCP.

You can use text2pcap to create a pcap file. By using the option -T along with suitable source and destination ports, e.g. -T 3293,7259 to match that in the sample file.

works also great. Big thanks to you, for supporting me.

Do you mean an offline file whose contents are as shown in the Wireshark Wiki SML page, with the first four bytes being 0x1b, followed by 4 bytes of version number, followed by a sequence of messages?

yes, that's exactly what I mean.
