IInnttrroodduuccttiioon
Digianswer’s Bluetooth Protocol Analyser is a development kit
that allows you to view Bluetooth protocol data and carry out
fast and effective analysis during the process of developing
Bluetooth equipment.
Basically, the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser consists of a USBbased hardware unit and a software application called the
Data Collector. With this equipment you can set up a log
session during which you can intercept all the data transmitted
between devices forming a Bluetooth piconet.
Accompanying the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser is a software
application called the Bluetooth Packet Analyser, which is
used for analysing the data logged during a session. The
Bluetooth Packet Analyser can display all the baseband
packets logged, and isolate, decode, and display LMP,
L2CAP, RFCOMM, and SDP packets.
The Bluetooth Packet Analyser works as a plug-in for the Data
Collector module. This is an open interface, which means that
anyone is free to develop alternative Analyser modules for the
Bluetooth Protocol Analyser.
The Bluetooth Protocol Analyser can be used in two
configurations:
•• As an independent unit: In this configuration, the
Bluetooth Protocol Analyser does not participate in the
piconet; it only listens in, logging all baseband packets
transmitted between the master and slaves of the piconet.
•• As a participant in the piconet: In this configuration, the
Bluetooth Protocol Analyser is either the master or a slave
of the piconet. The Bluetooth Protocol Analyser is attached
to a computer running both the Data Collector application
and Digianswer’s Bluetooth Software Suite*. The Data
Collector logs all baseband packets transmitted from the
computer to other participants of the piconet as well as the
packets received by the computer.
Note: While using the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser, it is
advisable not to run any other applications on your
computer – the Bluetooth Software Suite being an
exception.
*
Digianswer’s Bluetooth Software Suite is automatically installed on
your computer at the same time as the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser.

The installation procedure includes installing hardware,
drivers, and software applications for the Bluetooth Protocol
Analyser. In addition, Digianswer’s Bluetooth Software Suite
will be installed.
Note: If the Digianswer Bluetooth Demo Card or a
previous version of the Bluetooth Software Suite is
installed on your computer, you must uninstall this before
you can install the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser. See the
subsection “Uninstalling old programs” below.
Installing hardware and drivers
To install the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser hardware and the
drivers for it:
1. Insert the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser CD-ROM.
2. Plug the USB cable of the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser into
an available USB port on the computer. Windows now
finds the new hardware and asks for drivers.
3. Follow the on-screen steps to complete the installation
of the drivers, which are located on the CD-ROM at
D:\Drivers (where D: is your CD-ROM drive).
Note: When you have installed the drivers, Windows will
ask if you want to restart your computer. However, it is not
necessary to restart the computer before installing the
application software.
Note: When you have installed the drivers, your computer
may appear frozen for some 30 seconds.
Note: Do not remove the Bluetooth Protocol Analyser CD-
ROM from your computer until you have installed the
application software.
