nels (this command is available only if the active Trace file contains L2CAP transmis-

sions AND the L2CAP protocol level has been decoded during the current viewing of

the Trace).

• RFCOMM channel assignments: Opens the RFCOMM channel assignment dialog,

which is used to display current RFCOMM channel assignments and to configure proto-

col assignments for manually assigned channels (this command is available only if the

active Trace file contains RFCOMM transmissions AND the RFCOMM protocol level

has been decoded during the current viewing of the Trace).

• Levels > Level name: Shows or hides the selected protocol level in the active Trace file.

6.3.3 Decoding Assignment Menus

The Decoding Assignment menus contains commands for configuring protocol assignments

for decoding.

There are two Decoding Assignment menus: the Assigned to menu and the Decode As menu.

Assigned to Menu

The Assigned to menu is used to assign protocols for decoding L2CAP messages.

Access this menu by left-clicking on an A (Assignment) field in an L2CAP row in the Trace.

Note: This menu can be accessed only if there are decoded L2CAP messages in the Trace. Additionally,

L2CAP messages with CIDs from 0x0000-0x003F do not contain the A field.

The top line of the menu shows the current assignment.

• To change the assignment, select a different protocol from the menu.

• Select Remove All User assignments to return all user-defined protocol assignments to

their default settings.

Decode As Menu

The Decode As menu is used to assign OBEX client or OBEX server status for decoding

OBEX protocols.

If the beginning sequence of OBEX traffic is not recorded in a Trace, the client/server status

of the transmitting devices will not be preserved in the recording. In this case, you can use

the Decode As menu to manually assign the status.

Access this menu by left-clicking on a Type field in an OBEX row in the Trace.

Note: This menu can be accessed only if there are decoded OBEX protocols in the Trace.

The current status setting is the one with a checkmark next to it.

If the menu items are greyed out, it means that Merlin Mobile was able to determine the

status based on data in the Trace. In this case, you cannot manually change the status.

If the menu items are active, it means that Merlin Mobile was unable to determine the status

from the Trace data. In this case, you can change the status, if necessary.

• To change the status assignment, select a different status from the menu.
