UmitBT

current version: 0.8

About UmitBT

UmitBT is a GUI based Bluetooth device scanner which does manufacturer detection. With UmitBT, not only are you able to probe for Bluetooth enabled devices, but also perform Service Discovery scans and identify the device based on the manufacturer of the device. The devices are then mapped out graphically based on the devices manufacturer. UmitBT will be integrated into Umit as a part of the Umit Network Management suite. UmitBT was incubated and funded by Google as a part of SoC 2008.

NOTE: UmitBT needs your help

Currently, UmitBT only has a few images to match the devices detected. We need your help to produce more images for UmitBT. Do go through config/db/btdb.db to identify which manufacturers do not have an image yet. Images should be 75x52 pixels in dimension and formatted under the PNG image format.

Using UmitBT

By default, Service Discovery Protocol scan is turned off. To enable SDP scan,

click on the SDP option under Preference or alternatively use the <ctrl> + S hotkey. Do take note that SDP scanning would take a considerable amount of time to complete depending on the amount of the devices. Once the devices have been probed, the respective devices are mapped out. To view the information associated to the device such as device name, manufacturer and even the SDP scan info, do double-click on the respective icon. UmitBT loads or saves results on a ubt file. A ubt file(*.ubt) created is unique to UmitBT.
