BPA100 Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer User Manual 1-1
Getting Started
This section contains a description of the Tektronix BPA100
Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer, the system requirements, a list of the
product components, and procedures for installing and uninstalling
the application software.
Product Overview
The Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer facilitates the development of
Bluetooth devices by providing a tool that can nonintrusively and
independently intercept the baseband traffic, log, decode, and
analyze the packet data transmitted and received over a Bluetooth
piconet. The Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer also can function as a
prototype debug tool that is capable of participating in a piconet,
either as a master or a slave, to initiate various modes of operation,
introduce intentional errors, and act as a known reference device.
The Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer consists of a Bluetooth Air Probe
with USB connector, a custom USB cable, a CD-ROM containing
application software, and a user manual (see Figure 1--1 on
page 1--7).
Key Features
The following list notes the key features of the BPA100 Bluetooth
Protocol Analyzer:
HProvides decryption in Piconet Mode or Independent Mode.
(Version 2.1)
HEnables users to use the HCI terminal application (software
provided with Version 2.1) to control the BPA100 in Piconet
mode
HSynchronization enhancement provides new capabilities to set
drift value in PPM, which is useful when the link goes to sniff,
hold, or park mode (Version 2.1)

Getting Started
1-2 BPA100 Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer User Manual
HProvides capture and display of paging sequence while in
Independent Mode and using slave inquiry sync mode (Version
2.1)
HComplies with Bluetooth 1.1 specification (Version 2.1)
HProvides reliable analysis using a fully--compliant product based
on proven Digianswer technology
HOperates in either Independent or Piconet (master/slave) mode,
which allows you the maximum test and debug flexibility
HAllows you to use advanced triggering and filtering to capture,
log, and display only those events or transactions of interest,
making it easier to track down faults and optimize storage
HAllows you to use the Free Run Analyzer Display function to
continuously monitor the latest session transactions with
real-time screen updates while logging directly to the hard disk
of the PC
HProvides maximum log history file size by directly logging to the
hard drive of the PC, allowing for long-term monitoring of
packet traffic to uncover intermittent problems over extended
time periods
HCaptures and logs all baseband packets transmitted within a
Bluetooth piconet, including retransmitted packets, for full
session transaction audits
HIsolates, decodes, and displays baseband, LMP, L2CAP,
RFCOMM, SDP, OBEX, and TCS commands, events, and data
packets for effective visibility into higher protocol layers
HEnhances your control of the application by supporting test
modes (in Independent mode, Version 2.1), data whitening, and
other low level acquisition parameters
Software and Data Files Included
You are provided with the following software applications and data
files on the CD-R that is shipped with the BPA100 Bluetooth
Protocol Analyzer:
HTektronix Bluetooth Data Collector

Bluetooth Data Collector. You use the Data Collector to set up a log
session during which you can intercept all the data transmitted
between the devices forming a Bluetooth piconet.
Bluetooth Packet Analyzer. You use the Bluetooth Packet Analyzer to
analyze the data logged during a session. The Packet Analyzer can
display all the baseband packets logged and isolate, decode, and
display LMP, L2CAP, RFCOMM, SDP, OBEX, and TCS packets.
Bluetooth Software Suite. The Bluetooth Software Suite is a collection
of Bluetooth applications created by Digianswer. It is composed of
the following applications:
HBluetooth Neighborhood
HBluetooth Configuration Tool
HObject Editor
Among other functions, you can use the Bluetooth Neighborhood
application to do the following:
HDevice discovery. Find out which remote Bluetooth devices are
available within your range.
HService discovery. Find out which services (applications) a
remote device facilitates.
HLinks. Establish links to remote devices.
You can use the Bluetooth Configuration Tool to associate one or
more appropriate profiles with a Bluetooth COM port and then add
the COM port to your Local Services bar in the Bluetooth Neighbor-
hood window.

You can use the Object Editor to send objects like messages, notes,
or business cards if you do not have Microsoft Outlook installed on
your system.
For an overview (Beginner’s Guide) and detailed information when
using the Bluetooth Neighborhood, click the Help button in the
application. In addition, three portable document format (PDF) files
are installed with the Bluetooth software. These are printable
versions of the Help files and the BPA100 manual.

NOTE. While using the Bluetooth Protocol Analyzer, you are advised
not to run applications on your computer other than the Packet
Analyzer, the Data Collector, and the Bluetooth Neighborhood.
HCI Terminal. This application allows you to interact with the
hardware using an interface similar to the interface provided by an
AT Terminal application when communicating with a modem. This
facilitates sending HCI commands from the computer to a Bluetooth
device and receiving responses. This allows you to test your own
Bluetooth hardware. The HCI Terminal Guide provides instructions.
NOTE. The HCI Terminal and the Bluetooth Neighborhood are
different means of creating connections and generating traffic. Only
one can be run at a time; you cannot run the HCI Terminal and
Bluetooth Neighborhood at the same time.

and display in the Data Collector and Packet Analyzer without
actually having a piconet connection. This folder is not loaded by the
installer but can be copied from the CD--ROM.

Bluetooth Specification
The Bluetooth Specification is a standard containing the information
required to ensure that diverse devices supporting the Bluetooth
wireless technology can communicate with each other worldwide.
The document is divided into two parts: Vo l u me 1 , C ore and
Volume 2, Profiles:
HVolume 1, Core. This is a lengthy and detailed document that
specifies components such as the radio and baseband specifica-
tions, link manager protocol, service discovery protocol,
transport layer, and interoperability with different communication
protocols. It also provides three chapters on test and qualifica-
tion, including Bluetooth Test Mode,Bluetooth Compliance
Requirements,andTest Control Interface.
HVolume 2, Profiles. This document specifies the protocols and
procedures required for different types of Bluetooth applications,
such as service discovery, cordless telephony, serial port, and
synchronization profiles.
