5.2.7 Bluetooth Connection

Use the Bluetooth Connection screen to perform pairing of the test device with the Spirent ME

hardware unit. The Bluetooth Connection dialog will be available for any Voice Quality Task

with the Audio Interface set to Bluetooth. The Bluetooth Connection dialog will be available for

all Call Performance Tasks.

To pair a device:

 Click the Start Pairing button. The corresponding LED will flash blue on the front of the

hardware unit.

 Set the mobile to search for Bluetooth devices. This procedure varies among devices, but

the option is generally found under the Settings or similar menu.

 The mobile may detect multiple Nomad channels, but will only be pairable with the channel

that is in pairing mode. Select the appropriate channel based on the Nomad Hardware

Name field.

 When prompted for the Bluetooth passkey, enter 0000.

 When pairing is complete, the hardware will display a solid blue LED at the paired channel.

The software will show the paired channel as CONNECTED.

o Note: The connection process must be handled manually for some handsets. If the

blue light does not appear on the Spirent ME hardware unit and the software does

not show the CONNECTED state, the phone must be connected manually. This is

typically accomplished through the phone’s Bluetooth menu system.

Note that if a device has previously been paired with this Nomad channel, the above procedure may

be bypassed by selecting the Connect To Last Handset option. Selecting this option will

automatically connect the channel to the last device to which it was paired. To reconnect all

previously connected Bluetooth channels to the last paired handset, used the Reconnect All

Bluetooth Channels button found on the Test Setup tab.

The CLI area at the bottom of the Bluetooth Connection screen displays Bluetooth log messages.

The command line below the message viewer is used for advanced diagnostic purposes only.

Please use this area only if directed by a Spirent representative.
