Merlin II Protocol Analyzer User’s Manual

CATC

SW Version 2.50

Note

This mode can only be used to find master devices that support Inquiry Scan.

To perform a "Sync and Record", follow the steps below:

Step 1

Turn on the Bluetooth devices under observation, and set up the
master device so it is ready to respond to Inquiry scan. For a typical
recording, ensure that the Master and Slave device(s) are not yet
connected.

Step 2

In the Modes tab under Recording Options, enter the Master
Device’s address.

Step 3

Start Merlin II recording by pressing the
Record button on the toolbar.

Step 4

When the analyzer is able to Sync up to the Piconet Master Clock,
the Green Sync LED in the Merlin II front panel will start
blinking.

Step 5

Establish connection between the Bluetooth devices under analysis.

Step 6

When Merlin II senses Piconet traffic, the Green Sync light goes ON
solid, recording starts and the status bar in the bottom of the analyzer
screen shows activity.

Recording may be stopped manually or when the recording buffer is filled.

Note

After the Sync light starts blinking, a connection between the Bluetooth
devices should be established within one (1) minute.

Passive Sync & Record

Passive Sync and Record is used in situations where the Master device and
slave devices do not support Inquiry Scan mode. When selected, Merlin II
enters Inquiry Scan and Page Scan mode and waits for a page from the
Master device. When the piconet Master pages Merlin II, Merlin II obtains
the information necessary for synchronization and then attempts to
synchronize to the piconet controlled by that Master.

"Passive Sync and Record" is designed to be used with established piconets
or private device networks.

Running "Passive Sync and Record" with Established Piconets

For most situations, "Passive Sync and Record" will be run after a piconet
has been established. The steps are as follows:

Step 1

Establish a connection between two or more Bluetooth devices.
