Merlin Mobile User’s Manual
CATC
SW Version 2.0
A pop-up menu will appear indicating whether the message was produced by an
OBEX client or server. If the menu items appear grayed-out (as they do in this
example) it means that Merlin Mobile assigned the client or server status based on
data it found in the trace. If the menu items appear in black, it means that the user
assigned the status and is therefore free to change the assignment.
Changing an OBEX Client or Server Status
If the beginning sequence of traffic is not recorded in a trace, the
client/server status of the transmitting devices will not be preserved in the
trace. In this case, the OBEX Client/Server pop-up menu will become
active and you will be able to change the assignment.
Decoding BNEP
BNEP (Bluetooth Network Encapsulation Protocol) is a protocol that allows
devices to encapsulate network protocols such as IP. Since BNEP can carry
different types of network protocols, you need to tell Merlin Mobile what
protocol the BNEP is going to be carrying. You do this via a script file
called bnep.dec that is read during the initialization of the Merlin Mobile
software. This file tells Merlin Mobile how to decode BNEP fields. Once
read, BNEP can be correctly decoded by pressing the
button on the
toolbar. If the decode file is not read at initialization, Merlin Mobile will
display the data in an undecoded format.
For more information on BNEP decoding, see a supplemental document on
BNEP in the support directory on the CATC web site:

Decoding HID
HID (Human Interface Device) is a profile associated with traffic from
devices such as a mouse or a keyboard. To decode HID traffic, you will
need to tell Merlin Mobile what types of HID traffic it will be recording.
You do this by editing a script file called hid.dec. Merlin Mobile reads this
file during the initialization of the Merlin Mobile software. This file tells
Merlin Mobile how to decode the HID fields. Once read, HID can be
correctly decoded by pressing the
button. If the decode file is not read
at initialization, Merlin Mobile will display the data in an undecoded format.
