Using Merlin to Record Merlin’s Wand Traffic

The machine name/IP address will now be listed on the
Connect/Disconnect options menu. By default, it will be selected, as
indicated by the checkmark that appears to the left of the name/IP
address.

8.3 Start Merlin

This step is required only when running Merlin on a remote machine that
uses Windows 98 or Windows Me. In such cases, Merlin’s Wand cannot
start or stop the Merlin application, although it can control Merlin once it is
running. Be sure to start Merlin before connecting to it on a machine
running Windows 98 or Windows Me.

8.4 Connect to Merlin with Merlin’s Wand

Note

: Before Merlin's Wand can connect to Merlin, the connection options, DCOM, and

accessibility properties may need to be configured. Please refer to “Set Up
Connection Options” on page 78 and “Set Up a Remote Machine” on page 75 for
more information.

Step 1

To connect to Merlin Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer, click on
the Connect/Disconnect

button.

Merlin's Wand will connect to Merlin. The status bar at the bottom of the
Merlin's Wand application will indicate that Merlin is connected, along
with the Merlin software version. The Connect/Disconnect button will
remain “pressed down” while Merlin's Wand and Merlin are connected.

8.5 Set Merlin Recording Options

The recording options file [*.rec] that Merlin should use can be specified
through Merlin's Wand. If a recording options file isn't specified through
Merlin's Wand, Merlin will use either its default .rec file or the options file
that was last loaded into the current instance of Merlin.

Note

: The .rec file has to be configured and saved in Merlin before it can be specified

through Merlin's Wand.

Step 1

Share the folder that contains the file.

(a)

In Windows Explorer or My Computer, navigate to the folder that
contains the options file.

(b)

Right-click on the folder and select Properties, or select File >
Properties from the menu bar.
