1.Introduction

1.1 Overview

The Parani100 enables multiple Bluetooth devices to connect to the Ethernet network
simultaneously and without delay when they are within range. The Parani100 provides Class 1
Bluetooth wireless connectivity to Ethernet/Fast Ethernet. It supports all Bluetooth devices
compatible with Bluetooth Profiles for the Serial Port, Dial-up Networking, LAN Access and PAN.
Along with the Serial Port Profile support, the Parani100 is the ideal solution for the replacement
of the wired serial port application.

The Parani100 supports versatile host modes for various user applications, i.e. TCP Server
and Client modes for TCP/IP-Bluetooth replay applications, Vertex mode for multicasting,
Repeater mode, Serial Hub mode and RS232 mode.

The Parani100 runs on embedded Linux operating system, with Flash memory for easy
software upgrades, and built-in Web server and Web interface for quick installation, and remote
configuration and management. The Parani100 uses the RADIUS protocol for user
authentication.

Typical application areas of the Parani100 include:

• Truck/Bus monitoring system

• Car Diagnostics

• Wireless POS system

• Wireless Factory monitoringPLC programming

• Wireless machine (healthcare/industrial) monitoring

• Wireless Printing

• Wireless logistics

2. Getting Started

2.1 External View

<Fig. 1.3.1> Parani100 external view

(1) DIP Switch

Users may select several different methods of data communication with the Host.
Default setting is TCP/IP communication using no.4 RJ45 marked EXT , but if users
need, data communication by no.3 RS232 Interface marked “IOIOI” is also
possible.

• If DIP switch is on the side of drawing , Parani100 communicates with Host

via Ethernet line (TCP/IP).

• If users want to use RS232 com. please change the direction of switch in the

- 10 -

10

opposite direction.

(2) Power Port: For Power Adapter connection

(3) RS232 Interface marked “IOIOI”:

For Parani100 network configuration via RS232 serial cable - One RS232 serial

cable, both ends female DB-9 interfaces, are provided with the Parani100.
This port can be used for both Configuration of Parani100 and Data communication
with Host.

(4) RJ45 marked EXT.: For connection to Host or HUB devices. For connection to PC,

use a Crossed cable; for connection to HUB, use Straight
Ethernet cable.

(5) RJ45 marked INT.: For HUB port connection to another Parani100. This is for

expansion of connections more than 14.

2.2 LED Indicators

2.3 Connecting Parani100 to host

Step 1: Connect the power jack to the power connector of the Parani100 using DC power
adapter included in the package. If power is properly supplied, the LEDs for ‘Power’ and ‘Status’
will maintain a solid green color.

Step 2: Connect the one end of the Ethernet cable to the ‘EXT’ port of the Parani100 and the
other to the Ethernet network. If the cable is properly hooked up, the Parani100 will have a valid
connection to the Ethernet network by indicating ‘EXT’ LED becomes green and is blinking if
there’s any corresponding packet traffic.

Step 3: Only for 1st time installation, attach the serial console cable to the Parani100. You are
ready to install the Parani100 using serial console.
