Highlights Supports EDR (Enhanced Data Rate): FTS4BT is the only analyzer currently on the market to support Bluetooth v2.1 + EDR. Finger-sized Bluetooth ComProbe: Air sniffing hardware is incredibly portable and requires no power. Synchronized air and HCI sniffing: FTS4BT provides multiple points of observation, speeding up debug time. Real-time debugging: FTS4BT captures, decodes, filters and displays data, and detects protocol errors simultaneously, all live and in real-time. Decodes all Bluetooth protocols and most profiles. Quick release of new profiles to keep pace with changing Bluetooth specifications. Extract Audio into WAV files for playback and analysis. Includes Framedecoder for rapid development and seamless integration of HCI Vendor Extensions and other custom protocol implementations. This Frontline technology is how we meet Bluetooth challenges.

 

Product Details

Air Sniffing

• Supports v2.1 + EDR.
• Automatically handles decryption, pairing, master/slave role switches, and park, hold, and sniff low power modes.
• Excellent piconet synchronization using master inquiry, slave inquiry, or passive slave page.
• Basic sniffing-up to seven slaves in one piconet all on the same frequency hopping sequence.
• Advanced sniffing (requires one or more optional additional Bluetooth ComProbes)-Mixed piconets (multiple frequency hopping sequences in one piconet). Scatternet (multiple piconets). Redundant (for improved packet reception).

User Interface

• Familiar tree (Explorer style) protocol decode display with single-click protocol filtering.
• Decodes and displays multiple protocol layers of multiple data packets simultaneously.
• Detects and displays protocol errors (in red) in real-time.
• Session notes and annotated bookmarks allow for quick identification of questionable packets.

Detailed Decodes

• TCP/IP support comparable to an Ethernet analyzer. Decodes all key Dial-Up Networking and TCP/IP protocols.
• Transports: HCI USB (H2), HCI UART (H4), HCI Three-Wire UART (H5), BCSP.
• Protocols: Baseband, LMP, HCI, L2CAP, SDP, RFCOMM, TCS Binary, OBEX, AVCTP, AVDTP, BNEP, AT Commands, CMTP, HDLC, PPP, TCP/IP.
• Profiles: Audio Visual: A2DP, AVRCP, GAVDP, VCP, VDP. Car: HFP, PBAP, SAP. Printing: BIP, BPP, HCRP. Other: CIP, CTP, DUN, FAX, FTP, GOEP, HID, HSP, ICP, LPP, OPP, PAN, SDAP, SPP, SYNCH, UDI.

Additional Features

• Counts retransmitted packets.
• Export into CSV and other formats.

Simultaneous Air and HCI Sniffing We have learned through extensive experience supporting our customers that many problems are most effectively debugged live, using multiple points of observation. Sniff HCI 6 Ways: Externally By tapping the (1) serial or (2) USB* HCI interface between a host CPU and a host controller. *Requires optional USB ComProbe. Internally By spying on the (3) serial or (4) USB HCI interface between a host CPU and a host controller. Virtually (5) Via the Live Import API which enables any application to feed data into FTS4BT. Off-Line (6) By loading BTSnoop log files that can be created when it isn't convenient to do live analysis.
