"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
has been established. The steps are as follows:

Step 1

Establish a connection between two or more Bluetooth devices.

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 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
to start a recording session.

Step 6

If necessary, have Master "discover" Merlin through a General
Inquiry.

Step 7

From the Master device, initiate a page to Merlin’s address. This
action will enable Merlin 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,
recording will begin and activity will be displayed on the status bar
in the bottom of the analyzer screen.

Running "Passive Sync and Record" with Private Device Piconets

Because private device networks do not allow other devices to join the
network, Merlin needs to temporarily assume the identity of a slave in the
network in order to join that network. To do this requires disabling the slave
and beginning the operation without an established piconet. The following
steps show the process.

Step 1

Turn the Master device on and the slave device off. You need the
slave device turned off so that Merlin can take its place in the
piconet.

Step 2

Enter the slave’s address into Merlin’s "Page Target" field in the
Modes tab in the Recording Options dialog box.

Step 3

Run "Passive Sync and Record." The Master will then page the
slave’s address and Merlin will be able to sync.
