The Record Options dialog is used to configure the analyzer unit prior to data capture. The record options are stored on the analyzer hardware and these settings will persist until changed. The Record Options dialog is only active when the analyzer is connected to the computer running the Wireless Protocol Suite software.
If the analyzer is not connected to the computer, these settings can neither be viewed nor changed.
Clicking on OK will save the Record Options settings on the connected analyzer. Any Record Options parameter changes made will overwrite the previously saved Record Options.

Wireless Capture |
Classic Bluetooth |
When checked, will capture data from Classic Bluetooth devices. |
|
Bluetooth Low Energy |
When checked, will capture data from Bluetooth Low Energy devices. |
|
|
Bluetooth Low Energy 2 Mbps |
When checked captures Bluetooth Low Energy 2 Mbps data rate. When this option is selected for X240, the analyzer must be connected to an external power source. Refer to Applying Power. |
|
|
Spectrum 2.4 GHz |
|
When checked this selection provides the user with the ability to capture samples of the 2.4 GHz RF present at the analyzer’s antennas. The Spectrum data represents the RSSI and it is automatically saved when the capture is saved. It can be optionally viewed in the Coexistence View. Spectrum sampling is set at 20, 50, 100, or 200 microsecond intervals using the Interval control. 
Capturing Spectrum data will use additional memory. The smaller the sample interval, the more memory that is used, so when using sample rates less than 200 microseconds the analyzer must be connected to a computer and not being used in eExcursion Mode. See Spectrum Analysis and Coexistence View - Spectrum for more information. |
|
eExcursion Mode |
|
When eExcursion Mode is checked, the analyzer will support eExcursion mode captures where the hardware can capture data without being connected to a computer. The configured traffic is captured for later upload and analysis using a computer running the Wireless Protocol Suite software. Refer to eExcursion Mode for more information. |
|
Classic Bluetooth Resolving List |
|
This is a list of Classic Bluetooth device addresses used to resolve packet source BD_ADDRs (Bluetooth Device ADDResses) during capture. The Analyzer maintains a database of known device BD_ADDRs indexed on the least significant 4 bytes of the BD_ADDR – the UAP and LAP. Over time, the device database will grow and may contain multiple devices with BD_ADDRs with the same UAP and LAP. The resolving list is used to specify a known set of device BD_ADDRs that will be encountered in a capture session. This list will be checked first for matching device BD_ ADDRs. Each BD_ADDR on the resolving list must have a unique value for the least significant 4 bytes of the BD_ADDR (UAP and LAP). |
Classic Bluetooth Resolving List Configuration
To add a Classic Bluetooth Device Address to the resolving list, select the “Add” button. Enter the Classic Bluetooth Address. Click OK. See figure below.
To edit a Classic Bluetooth Device Address that is already on the list, select that address and click the “Edit” button. Change the address, then click OK.
To remove a Classic Bluetooth Device Address that is on the list, select that address and click the “Delete” button.

Bluetooth Low Energy Address Capture Filter |
By enabling the Bluetooth Low Energy Address Capture Filter, only Low Energy packets from the list of Bluetooth Addresses will be processed into the capture. Addresses can be added or be selected to edit or delete by using the Add, Edit, and Delete buttons. |
|
|
This filter can be useful in a crowded Bluetooth environment. Advertising devices that aren't listed in the Bluetooth Low Energy Address Capture Filter will still show up in the Bluetooth Device Database. This way, if a device in the capture filter connects to an advertiser, the previous packets for context are available. |
Device Database View
Device Database View provides the user with information on active, inactive, and previously detected devices within range of the analyzer. There are separate Device Database views to manage Bluetooth and Wi-Fi devices discovered by the analyzer. The Device Database view is available in the View menu on the main toolbar.
The Device Database View is a list populated by wireless devices that are:
-
Captured devices,
-
Previously captured devices, or
-
Added by the user
Bluetooth Device Database View
The Bluetooth Device Database View provides information from all connected Bluetooth receivers.
In performing analysis, the user will filter the captured data by selecting which devices the Wireless Protocol Suite software will use.
The Device Database View is a list populated by wireless devices that are:
-
Captured devices,
-
Previously captured devices, or
-
Added by the user
Devices are shown in a corresponding group: User-Added Devices, Captured Devices or Previously Captured Devices.
A new device/BD_ADDR is automatically added to the Device Database View when:
-
For BR/EDR, the full BD_ADDR encapsulated in the FHS Packet is added to the Device Database View when the analyzer captures an FHS packet that is successfully dewhitened with the CRC checked.
-
A partial BD_ADDR—just the Lower Address Part (LAP) and Upper Address Part (UAP)—may be added when we do not observe paging such as when a conversation is already ongoing at the time capturing is started. If the analyzer can successfully dewhiten a BR/EDR packet using the payload CRC to check repeated dewhitening attempts, then the partial BD_ADDR will be added.
-
For Bluetooth Low Energy, the full BD_ADDR is always displayed.
The devices added manually to the Device Database appear in the User-Added Devices group. They are saved across sessions and must be manually removed by the user.
All active (sending data over-the-air) devices during a capture session will appear in the Captured Devices group. If a device is inactive, it appears in the Previously Captured Devices group.
Retaining previously added devices allows the user to select devices prior to starting a session with the Start Record button.
When using a .cfa(capture) file, e.g. using the Viewer, the set of devices shown will only be the devices in that capture file. All devices will be shown in Captured Devices group. Any device changes made can be saved to that file, but do not affect the “live capture” database of devices.

(Count of devices to remove will be shown in dialog). |
Reorder Identity Resolving Key (IRK)
When editing a Bluetooth Low Energy device from the Device Database table using the Edit Device Details dialog, the Wireless Protocol Suite software will automatically reorder the user entry. When the user provides an IRK that is in reverse order, the software applies the correct order when validating a secure connection using the IRK.
A reversed IRK is defined as the original IRK value with its endianness reversed. For example, the IRK 0xf31c 22ea a9cb 0422 f9b8 3e03 2305 27e2 in reverse order is 0xe227 0523 033e b8f9 2204 cba9 ea22 1cf3.
When the user enters a complete IRK in the Identity Resolving Key field, a validation of the reversed IRK will occur under the following conditions:
-
The device BD_ADDR is a random resolvable private address (RPA), and
-
Validation of the IRK in the user-entered order has failed.
The IRK field is also enabled for Bluetooth Low Energy devices with public address, however automatic validation does not occur
If the reversed IRK validates successfully, the Identity Resolving Key field turns green and becomes inactive (read only). The status bar at the bottom of the dialog displays "Identity Resolving Key: Valid (Reordered) - Properly resolves the random address". In the Device Database pane, the IRK will now appear for the selected device with "(Reordered)" appended.
In the Device Database table, when the user selects a device for filtering for analysis, if that device has an IRK, other devices will also be selected if they match. Two devices match if they satisfy any of the following conditions:
-
If two devices have equal IRKs, they are considered to match.
-
If one device has a user entered IRK and its BD_ADDR is not a random resolvable private address (i.e., it is not either a public address or a random static address and therefore the IRK cannot be validated), it matches if either its IRK is equal or the reverse of its IRK is equal to the other device.
In this next example, we have selected a device with a public address. Entering the IRK in the Edit Device Details dialog will indicate "Identity Resolving Key: Complete - Unable to determine if valid." and the Identity Resolving Key field remains white and editable, but the OK button is active. Clicking OK closes the dialog and the reordered IRK appears in with the public address device with "(Reordered)" appended and matching addresses will display the same reordered IRK.
Open the Security pane. In the first security context for the public address device, enter the LTK into the Link Key field. If valid, the IRK for the public address device will appear with "(Reordered)" removed.
Clean Bluetooth and Wi-Fi Device Databases
The following section shows how to clean Bluetooth and Wi-Fi device databases.
Clean Device Database on Start Application
In case the device store contains more than 5000 devices the application will show the dialog with suggestion to clean the device database.
You can choose cleanup all previous captured devices, cleanup all previous captured devices except Favorite Devices and/or Devices with Nickname or leave the database as is.
Using the Gear menu on Bluetooth Device Database or Wi-Fi Device Database toolbar you can open the Maintenance Settings dialog to manage device cleanup functionality which starts every time when the user closes WPS, file or personality.
In this dialog user can choose device storage time:
-
Keep devices forever – this means that devices will never be removed.
-
1 year;
-
6 months;
-
1 month;
-
2 weeks;
-
1 week
-
Devices seen within the last day – this means that on exit all devices which were captured earlier than today will be removed.
-
Keep current devices only – this means that on exit all devices which were captured in previous sessions will be removed.
For all choices checked exceptions will be applied.
Also, user can choose limit of devices which can be stored:
-
Don’t limit number of devices
-
1000
-
500
-
250
-
100
-
50
-
25
-
10
For all choices checked exceptions will be applied.
Exceptions section allows users to exclude devices with specified parameters from the list of devices which should be deleted.
You can choose cleanup all previous captured devices, cleanup all previous captured devices except Favorite Devices and/or Devices with Nickname or leave the database as is.
By default, all devices store in Device Database without any limitations.
All changes in cleanup settings are kept between WPS sessions.
