Subject: [Bluez-users] L2Ping and RSSI
Date: Fri, 23 May 2008 17:28:05 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4836F095.1070507@achilles.org> (raw)
Dear all,
I'm interested in what communication is possible with unpaired bluetooth
devices. I am aware that I can ping an unpaired device using L2ping and
the hardware address of the device. I'd like to know whether I can get
any link information from a ping, such as RSSI? All the HCI tools seem
to require a 'proper' (authenticated, paired) connection.
And, if anyone has the time, I'd love to better understand the
difference between an unpaired connection as established by l2ping (I'm
going by the code) and a full bluetooth HCItool-compatible connection
which I assume requires pairing. The official standard is not what I'd
describe as especially accessible..!
Thanks,
Rob.
