addresses for both your Master Device and Page Target.

Step 4 Click OK at the bottom of the window to close the Recording

Options dialog box.

Step 5 Press the button found on Merlin II’s

toolbar. After approximately 20 seconds, the "SYNC" light

on the front of Merlin II will begin to flash, meaning that

Merlin II has acquired all the information it needs to fully

synchronize with the piconet about to be established. At this

point, you should establish the piconet using the devices

previously defined as master and slave.

Note Inquiry Timeout is configurable (0 to 80 seconds) in the Recording Options

General page.

Step 6 When the piconet is established, the "Sync" light on the front of

Merlin II will change from flashing to solid, indicating that Merlin

II is fully synchronized to the piconet and is currently recording all

traffic within that piconet.

Note If the "sync" light on the front of Merlin II does not change from

flashing to solid it means that Merlin II did not synchronize with the

piconet when it was established.

Loss of Sync Timeout (1-30 secs)

This value specifies the amount of time that Merlin II will wait for piconet

traffic before determining that synchronization has been lost.

Force Re-synchronization

"Force Re-Synchronization" forces Merlin II to re-synchronize at the

beginning of each "Sync & Record," "Passive Sync & Record," or "Sync &

Record" operation. By default, "Force Re-Synchronization" is disabled

(i.e., unchecked).

Unchecking the "Force Re-Synchronization" checkbox tells Merlin II to use

its existing data on Bluetooth devices, thereby bypassing the

synchronization process and saving a few seconds from the beginning of the

trace. If you know that Merlin II’s data is correct, you can uncheck this

checkbox and cause Merlin II to try to use the existing data. If the data is

incomplete or incorrect, however, Merlin II will automatically perform a

refresh.

To examine Merlin II’s Bluetooth data, open the Device List (View >

Device List).
