| Private Keys |
When checked, the Private Keys pane is visible. The Private Keys pane displays user entered Private/ Public key pairs for Bluetooth low energy legacy and secure connection pairing. By default, this pane is not displayed. When it is displayed it will be docked as a tab in the same area as the Security pane. When Debug key is not used during pairing, the datasource will look for a matching Public key in the set of Private/Public key pairs. If a match is found, the datasource will use the corresponding Private Key to compute the Diffe-Hellman Key. |

| Analyze LE Empty Packets | When checked will include Bluetooth low energy empty packets. Empty packets are normally ignored, so not-checked is the default. | |||||||||
| Analyze Anonymous/Unknown Adv. Packets |
When checked the Frontline software identifies Bluetooth low energy anonymous advertising packets. An anonymous advertising packet does not contain the AdvA field and its corresponding auxiliary packet also does not contain an AdvA field. With no address, there is nothing to select for analysis in the Wireless Devices pane. The Frontline software groups anonymous packets and this option allows the user to include or exclude those packets for analyzing. If the Frontline system captures either the extended advertising packet or its corresponding auxiliary packet but not both and the AdvA field is not present in the captured packet, the system categorizes the packet as unknown. The default setting is unchecked. Settings are persistent. |

- Sodera LE window menu and toolbars area

The order of the panes shown in the pop-up menu will vary depending on the layout of the user's Sodera LE Window.
LE Test Mode Channel Selection dialog
In this image , three channels have detected LE Test Mode PDUs and the channels are highlighted: channel 3, 7, and 11. Channels 3 and 7 are checked, so their PDUs are filtered "in" for analysis. Channel 11 has not been checked, so its PDUs are filtered "out" from the analysis.
These channel filter selections are persistent for the current session. Another Record action in this same session can be performed and the same channel filter selection will be applied unless changed.
| Button | Description |
|---|---|
| Select All | Selects all 40 low energy channels |
| Clear All | Deselects all 40 low energy channels |
| OK | Active once a channels selection is made. When clicked the selected channels are saved for analysis, and the dialog closes. |
