Step 4

When Merlin synchronizes to the Master, turn the slave back on.
When the Master re-pages the address the slave is admitted into the
private network. Since Merlin is passive in this mode, the slave and
Merlin do not conflict over the shared address. Merlin is then able
to record the traffic between the Master and slave.

Page Sync & Record

"Page Sync and Record" is the recommended method of recording. "Page
Sync and Record" should be implemented before a piconet is established.
This mode causes Merlin to perform a General Inquiry and collect sync
information from the specified slave device when it responds. Merlin then
waits for the Master to begin paging the Slave devices. When paging
begins, Merlin synchronizes to the Master and begins recording.

Note

In order for this mode to work, the intended Slave must support "inquiry scan".

The following steps describe the simplest way to use this mode:

Step 1

Place both the "intended master" as well as its first "intended slave"
into inquiry scan mode.

Step 2

Have Merlin perform a General Inquiry. You do this by pressing the
BT Neighborhood button

Step 3

After the General Inquiry completes, the addresses will populate the
menus marked Master Device and Page Target. Select or enter the
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's

toolbar. After approximately 20 seconds, the "SYNC" light
on the front of Merlin will begin to flash, meaning that
Merlin 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 will change from flashing to solid, indicating that Merlin is
fully synchronized to the piconet and is currently recording all
traffic within that piconet.
