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

Step 2 Under General Recording Options, select "Passive Sync & Record."

Step 3 Under the Modes tab in Recording Options, enter the address for the

piconet’s master device.

Step 4 Make up an address for Merlin II and enter it into the Page Target

address in the Modes tab in Recording Options. Make sure you do

not select an address for any other local device.

Step 5 Press the record button on the toolbar in Merlin

II to start a recording session.

Step 6 If necessary, have Master "discover" Merlin II through a General

Inquiry.

Step 7 From the Master device, initiate a page to Merlin II address. This

action will enable Merlin II to synchronize to the piconet. However,

the analyzer will not complete the page sequence from the Master.

This will cause the Master to time out in this request.

Step 8 At the end of this sequence, the green Sync light will go on solid,
