BTTracer Protocol Analyzer User’s ManualCATC Version 1.0
1. Overview
The CATC BTTracer™ Protocol Analyzer is a member in CATC's
industry-leading line of high performance, serial bus protocol analyzers.
PrecededbyCATC’sUSBChief™ and IEEE 1394 FireInspector™
Analyzers, BTTracer has been designed using the same modular software
and hardware architecture that made its predecessors highly successful in
the serial bus protocol analyzer market worldwide.
1.1 Bluetooth™ Overview
The Bluetooth™ wireless technology is set to revolutionize the personal
connectivity market by providing freedom from wired connections. It is a
specification for a small-form factor, low-cost radio solution providing links
between mobile computers, mobile phones and other portable handheld
devices, and connectivity to the internet.
The Bluetooth™ Special Interest Group (SIG), comprised of leaders in the
telecommunications, computing, and network industries, is driving
development of the technology and bringing it to market. The Bluetooth™
SIG includes promoter companies 3Com, Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Lucent,
Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia and Toshiba, and more than 2500 SIG
members.
Bluetooth™ is a radio technology specification designed to transmit both
voice and data wirelessly, providing an easier way for a variety of mobile
computing, communications and other devices to communicate with one
another without the need for cables. Bluetooth™ could make possible what
is being called the personal-area network by allowing users to transmit small
amounts of data at 1M bit/sec with a range of 10 to 100 meters, depending
the power of the radio, over the 2.4-GHz radio frequency. The key benefits
of the Bluetooth™ technology are robustness, low complexity, low power
and low cost. Bluetooth™ employs a rapid frequency hopping mechanism
to minimize the effects of ‘collisions’ with other protocols and devices
operating in the same frequency band. Mechanisms exist for a Bluetooth™
device to determine all devices in range as well as to request connection to
a piconet as either a master or a slave.
Please refer to the Bluetooth™ Specification, version 1.1 for details on the
protocol. The Bluetooth™ specification is available from the Bluetooth™
SIG at its web site http://www.bluetooth.org/
