1. Introduction

1.1. Overview

IW06 is a module device for wireless serial communication using Bluetooth technology that is
international a standard for short range wireless communications. IW06 can communicate with other
Bluetooth devices that support the Serial Port Profile.

The working distance of IW06 with default antenna is 100m. The IW06 delivers better quality of
communication than a standard RS232 cables.

IW06 has a compact design and can be placed conveniently into devices or equipment. Its detachable
antenna optimizes the quality and distance for wireless communications.

IW06 supports FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum), which is a technique, native to
Bluetooth that allows the IW06 minimize radio interference while decreasing the likelihood of over-air
hijacking. IW06 also supports authentication and Bluetooth data encryption.

IW06 can be configured and controlled by typical AT commands. Users can easily configure IW06 by
using a terminal program such as HyperTerminal and can use Bluetooth wireless communication

without modifying user’s existing serial communication program. In addition to the basic AT commands,

IW06 provides some expanded AT commands for various functions. User friendly ParaniWizard and
ParaniWIN are also provided for easy setup on Microsoft Windows.

1.3. Product Specification

Bluetooth v2.0 supports improved AFH function. AFH function is to mitigate the interference
between WiFi and Bluetooth radios by automatically avoiding the active WiFi channel from
Bluetooth link. However, AFH does not provide a complete solution making WiFi and Bluetooth
work together in harmony. It is highly recommended for users to test their wireless system
enough before deployment since the overall system performance is affected by various
environmental factors such as distance between them.

Mode

Description

Mode0

In this mode, there is no response when power on or software reset, and IW06 is just waiting
for AT command input. Neither master nor slave is assigned to IW06 in mode0. User can
change the configuration parameters of IW06 in this mode.

IW06 must be in Mode0, when it is directly controlled by AT commands.
The factory default is set to Mode0.

Mode1

IW06 tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth device.
IW06 in Mode1 is to be a master and tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth device.
IW06 always stores the BD address of the Bluetooth device to which IW06 has connected last.
When IW06 is initially used or after hardware reset, there is no BD address stored in IW06. In
this case, Mode1 will not be able to work properly. The mode change to Mode1 can be made
after IW06 succeeds to connect to one other Bluetooth device. Once changed to Mode1, IW06
will try to connect automatically the last connected Bluetooth device whenever the unit is
powered on or software reset.
IW06 in Mode1 cannot be discovered or connected by other Bluetooth devices.

Mode2

IW06 is waits for a connection from the last connected Bluetooth device.
IW06 in Mode2 is to be a slave and waiting for the connection only from the last connected
Bluetooth device. Just like Mode1, if there is no BD address stored in IW06, the mode change
from other operation modes to Mode2 is not work properly. Once changed to Mode2, IW06 will
wait for the connection from the last connected Bluetooth device whenever the unit is powered
on or software reset.
IW06 in Mode2 cannot be discovered or connected to Bluetooth devices other than the last
connected device.

Mode3

IW06 is waiting for the connection from any other Bluetooth devices. In Mode 3 the IW06 is
discoverable and can be connected to by other Bluetooth devices.

3. Configuration

3.1. Operation Modes

In addition to the serial port configurations, the IW06 requires also includes some settings for
Bluetooth. For getting the most out of IW06, user should understand the following Bluetooth
connection schemes.

A Bluetooth device can play a role as a master or slave. Master tries to connect itself to other
Bluetooth devices, and slave is waiting to be connected from other Bluetooth devices. A Bluetooth
connection is always made by a pair of master and slave devices. A slave can be in two modes,
Inquiry Scan or Page Scan mode. Inquiry Scan mode is waiting for a packet of inquiry from other
Bluetooth device and Page Scan mode is waiting for a packet of connection from other Bluetooth
device. Every Bluetooth device has its unique address, called BD (Bluetooth Device) address, which is
composed of 12 hexa-decimal numbers.

IW06 has 4 operation modes as follows:

3.2. Serial Ports

The applicable settings for serial ports are as follows.

Table 3-2 The IW06 Serial Port Settings

The values in box are the factory default settings.

3.3. Data Bit

IW06 supports only 8 data bit. In the case of 7 data bit and even/odd parity, use IW06 8 data bit and
none parity. At this time, master and slave are Parani-SD, IW06 or Parani-MSP1000 series. But 7 data
bit and none parity is not support.

3.4. Hardware Flow Control

IW06 plugged into its host system transmits data from host to the other side Bluetooth device. This
data is saved temporarily in the internal buffer of IW06 and sent repeatedly until the transmission is
completed packet by packet. When the radio transmission condition is not good enough to send data
promptly, it can cause a transmission delay. If the host sends more data when the buffer is full, buffer
overflow will make IW06 malfunction consequently. In order to prevent this buffer overflow, IW06 works
as follows.

When using hardware flow control, IW06 disables RTS so that it stops receiving any further data from
the host when the buffer becomes full. RTS will be re-enabled again to begin receiving data from the
host when the buffer has created more room for more data.

When hardware flow control is not being used, the IW06 clears the buffer to secure room for the next
data when the buffer becomes full. This can mean a loss of data may occur. As the transmission data
becomes large, the possibility of data loss becomes greater.

For large data transmissions, the use of hardware flow control is highly recommended. (Not support
flow control in Multi-Drop Mode.)

3.5. Remote Configuration

Parani-SD1000 supports remote configuration. After connecting to the Parani-SD1000 through
Bluetooth, before sending any other character, send three escape character (default :+). Then, the
Parani-SD1000 will enter remote configuration mode and print “Please Enter Password”. You have to

enter the password with “AT+PASS” command within 2 minutes. After the password authentication,
you are able to enter any at command except “ATH”, “ATO”, “ATD”, “AT+BTSCAN”, “AT+BTINQ?” and
“AT+BTCANCEL”. The default password is “0000” and it is configurable with “AT+CHPASS” command.

Figure 3-5 Device Setting Window

IW06 supports two security options, Authentication and Encryption. If you check the Authentication
option, you must also enter the Pin Code value. If the authentication is activated, the connection, only
between the Master and Slave device that share the same Pin Code, is established. IW06 supports
two security options, Authentication and Encryption. If you enable the Authentication option, you must

17

also enter a Pin Code value. If the authentication is enabled, the connection, between the Master and
Slave device must share the same Pin Code. In case that IW06 connects to another Bluetooth device,

that requires authentication, you must know the other device’s Pin Code. In general, most Bluetooth

devices have a pincode of 1234 or 0000. If you check Encryption option, the IW06 will encrypt packets
and sent to the device. The Encryption options works well in case that only one of the devices
between Master and Slave use the Encryption option.

IW06 has 4 response messages, ‘OK’, ‘ERROR’, ‘CONNECT’, and ‘DISCONNECT’. In some cases,
these responses can affect the host system unexpectedly. To prevent this, user can set the Command
response to ON or OFF.

Click [Apply] button to apply any changes made to the IW06.
Connection(out) icon will show the following window to search and connect other Bluetooth devices.

Figure 3-7 Signal Strength Test

The signal strength test shows LInkQuality and RSSI values. The closer LinkQuality is to 255 and
RSSI is to 0, this means the IW06 has a good connection to the connected Bluetooth device. In
general, the wireless connectivity is at its best within 10 meters. You can push the STOP button at
anytime in order to terminate the signal strength test. The signal strength test will continue until the
STOP button is pushed. If you close the ParaniWIN Window without pushing the STOP button, you
must restart IW06 to terminate the test.

Connection(in) icon will show the following window, which enables the IW06 to wait for a connection
from another Bluetooth device. If the waiting time is set to 0, IW06 will continually wait for connection
until [Cancel] button is clicked.

4. Multiple Connection Mode

4.1. Overview

IW06 supports multiple connections up to 4 slave units. There are two types of multiple connection
modes: Multi-Drop Mode and Node Switching Mode.

Figure 4-1 Multi-Drop Mode

In Multi-Drop Mode a master unit can connect to maximum 4 slave units at the same time and they
transfer data bi-directionally as in Figure 4-1.

Figure 4-2 Node Switching Mode

In Node Switching Mode, the master unit maintains multiple connections with maximum 4 slave units
but only one connection with one slave unit is active and data is transferred as shown in Figure 4-2.
After connected to slave, master acts command mode. Active slave is selected by AT commands.

4.2. Configuration

All the slaves should be in the status of waiting for connection either in Mode 2 or Mode 3 and the
master unit tries to connect to the slave units. The master unit needs to be configured to work in a
multiple connection mode using AT+MULTI,x command, which makes master reboots after execution.

Table 4-1 AT+MULTI,x

Table 4-2 Configuration of a Multiple Connection Mode

After input the BD addresses of the slave units into 4 S-registers S46, S54, S55 and S56 and then set
operation mode as MODE1, users can use multiple connection function. If S-registers have available
slaves’ address, AUTO CONNECT message will be displayed following corresponding TASK.

4.4. Notes

When large data exchange occurs in Multi-drop mode without flow-control enabled, the master unit
may experience data loss. It may also experience occasional disconnections and/or system rebooting
especially when bi-directional communication happens. It is strongly recommended to perform
extensive performance test before any real world field applications.
The master unit would try to connect all slave units specified by S-register 46, 54, 55 and 56. If non­existing or inactive slave addresses are entered in these S-registers, the overall performance will
degrade due to frequent connection trials to non-existing/inactive slaves. It may also force
disconnections for overall performance and outputs disconnect messages repeatedly.

Node-switching mode provides nearly equivalent performance as single connection mode. It is always
recommended to use flow-control for both of Multi-Drop Mode and Node Switching Mode.

Factory reset signal will be used for setting the IW06 to factory defaults. Factory reset signal should be
on 0V status for at least 1 second for the reset to occur.

A.1.4. Pairing (BT_MODE) Signal (Single Connection Mode Only)

IW06 provides a pairing signal input for instant configuration and automatic connection to two IW06s.
In this example, we will name the two IW06s as ESD1 and ESD2. In pairing mode.

Step 1. Turn on ESD1 and ESD2 and do factory default both of them by using RST signal.
Step 2. Set the pairing signal of ESD1 to a low state and hold the signal for 2 seconds.
Step 3. Set the pairing signal of ESD2 to a low state and hold the signal for 2 seconds.

Set the pairing signal of ESD2 to high state and hold the signal for 2 seconds. Now Set the pairing
signal of ESD2 to low state and hold it for 2 seconds

Step 4. Wait for ESD1 & ESD2 to connect to each other. It may take about 10 seconds to make a

connection. If there are many Bluetooth devices nearby, the connection time may increase.

Step 5. At this point your pair of IW06 is configured to make automatic connection to each other.
You can now use this pair of IW06’s like virtual serial cable.
* Note : During the pairing process, by way of the pairing signal, the Command Response will be

deactivated. Thus, the IW06 will not send the response messages such as OK, Connect and
Disconnect.

Appendix C: S-Register

S-registers contain 52 parameters for the IW06. These are stored in flash memory and the values will
be saved unless hardware reset is executed. The value of S-register can be accessed and changed
with ATS command. Some S-registers not shown below are set to maximize the performance of IW06.
Thus it is not recommended to change these S-registers.
Change the value of S-register only in Standby status. Turn IW06 off and on.

C.1. S1: Force to Reconnect (default 1)

S1=0, IW06 in Mode1 does not try to reconnect when disconnected.
S1=1, IW06 in Mode1 keeps trying to reconnect when disconnected.

C.2. S3: Stream UART Policy (default 0)

S3=0, the priority of UART streaming is throughput.
S3=1, the priority is latency, which minimizes the delay of data transmission. This is useful in case of

transmitting very small data quickly.
When this value is 1, in order to minimize latency, IW06 sends the received data immediately. When
this value is 0, the IW06 maximizes throughput, the IW06 stores received data for a short time and
sends a large data packet. If the packet length is less than 100 bytes, having latency being the priority
is recommended. If the packet length is more than 100 bytes, having throughput as the priority is
recommended. Also, if you want to use high baud rate, throughput priority will be more effective. Just
for reference, the buffer length for receiving data is 2 Kbytes.

C.3. S4: Enable Remote Name Query (default 1)

S4=0, IW06 will query only the BD address. This speeds up the inquiry process.
S4=1, IW06 will query the BD address, device name and class of device.
When this value is 1, IW06 finds not only BD address but also friendly name. When this value is 0,
IW06 finds only BD address. When set to 0 this will make queries much faster. When using the pairing
button, finding friendly name will be omitted automatically.

C.4. S6: Enable Low Power Mode (default 0)

S6=0, deactivate Low Power Mode.
S6=1, activate Low Power Mode.
This value decides whether IW06 works in Low Power Mode or not. When this value is 0, IW06 works
only in active power mode. When this value is 1, IW06 will be in low power mode to save the power.
Therefore, it takes a few seconds to wake the IW06 out of low power mode.

C.5. S10: Enable Response Message (default 1)

S10=0, IW06 does not send response messages to the host system.
S10=1, IW06 sends response messages to host system.
This value decides whether IW06 sends response messages such as OK, ERROR, CONNECT,
DISCONNECT or not. When this value is 0, IW06 will not send any response messages. If the
response messages conflicts with your host programs or devices that is connected to IW06, change
this value to 0.

C.6. S11: Enable Escape (default 1)

S11=0, IW06 does not allow escape sequence characters. The operation status of Connect cannot be

changed to Standby. Since the IW06 skips the process of detecting escape sequence characters,

more efficient data transmission can be had.

53

Inter Character Time Out

* Optimal Value(S23 x S26)

S11=1, IW06 allows for the escape sequence character. Whenever it is needed, the Connect status

can be changed to Standby.

C.7. S12: Clear Data Buffer When Disconnected (default 0)

S12=0, IW06 does not clear the data buffer received from host system when disconnected.
S12=1, IW06 clears the data buffer when disconnected.

C.8. S13: Enable DCD Signal (default 1)

S13=0, DCD signal off
S13=1, DCD signal on

C.9. S14: Enable DTR Transfer (default 1)

S14=0, DTR/DSR signal is transferred in a loop-back fashion..
S14=1, DTR signal is transferred to DSR of remote device.

C.10. S15: Enable Disconnect by DTR (default 0)

S15=0, DTR signal cannot release the connection.
S15=1, The Bluetooth connection can be released when DTR signal is off.
This value decides whether Bluetooth connection is released when DTR signal drops or not. If this
value is 1, you can use DTR signal in order to disconnect Bluetooth connection.

C.11. S22: Faster Connection (default 3)

S22=0, none
S22=1, page scan
S22=2, inquiry scan
S22=3, page/inquiry scan
Connecting time is average 1.5sec faster than normal mode.

C.12. S23: Intercharacter Timeout Setting (default 0)

S23=0 : Not used
S23=1 : 1 x S26
S23=2 : 10 x S26
S23=3 : 100 x S26

C.13. S24: Maximum Number of Inquiry Result (default 15)

The maximum number of inquiry list can be controlled. If value is 0, maximum number is limitless.

C.14. S26: Intercharacter Timeout (default 0)

This value describes time interval between characters used to separate the data from serial port. If
there is no more data coming from serial port in this value, data is sent to client.

S23=1 x S26=50 : Timeout-> 50msec
S23=2 x S26=50 : Timeout-> 500msec
S23=3 x S26=3 : Timeout-> 300msec

* When 10 bytes data are sent every intercharacter timeout, they are sent separately by 10 bytes at

the optimal value. If the intercharater timeout is set below the optimal value, the data will be put
together and sent by 20, 30, 40 bytes or more.

C.15. S28: Escape Sequence Character (default 43)

The decimal number of the ASCII code of escape sequence character can be controlled. The initial
value is 43, the ASCII code of ‘+’.

C.16. S31: Page Timeout (default 20)

This is the timeout in seconds to attempt connection with the ATD command. After this timeout expires,
the IW06 will restart automatically. If this value is 0, IW06 will attempt to connect without restarting. . It
must set at 5 second units.

C.17. S33: Inquiry Timeout (default 30)

This is the timeout in seconds to execute inquiry scan.

C.18. S37: Supervision Timeout (default 5)

This is the timeout to presume disconnection, which is set to 5 seconds initially. The smaller the value
becomes, the more quickly Parani-SD can detect an abnormal disconnection. But when the
communication is suspended, it may be regarded as disconnection. This value should be greater than
the Slave Disconnect Timeout(S57). (Slave unit depends on the value of master unit.)

C.19. S43: COD (default 001F00)

This value describes the sort of the bluetooth device and is editable.

C.20. S44: COD Filter (default 0)

This value is used to filter the sort of the bluetooth devices on inquiring. All the bluetooth devices are
inquired in case of 0. In case of 3E0100, bluetooth devices with COD 3E0100 are inquired.

C.21. S45: Inquiry Access Code (default 0x9E8B33)

Inquiry access code is used during inquiry state. The reserved IAC addresses are 0x9E8B00 ~
0x9E8B3F. The general inquiry IAC is 0x9E8B33.
IW06 is able to find the Bluetooth devices that are configured as the same IAC.

C.22. S46: BD Address of Last Connected Device

This saves the BD address of the Bluetooth device connected most recently in single connection
mode. This saves the Task1 BD address of the Bluetooth device connected most recently in a multiple
connection mode.

C.23. S48: Low Power Max Interval (default 5000)

This is the max interval value to use low power mode, which is set to 5000 initially. (5000 x 625μsec =

3125msec)

C.24. S49: Low Power Min Interval (default 4500)

This is the min interval value to use low power mode, which is set to 4500 initially. (4500 x 625μsec =

2812msec)
A small interval increases power consumption, a large interval increases latency.

C.25. S52: Low Power Timeout (default 5)

This is the low power timeout value, which is set to 5 initially. (5sec)
During no data transmission in the timeout, IW06 will be in low power mode to save the power.
Therefore, it takes a few seconds to wake the IW06 out of low power mode.

C.26. S54: BD Address of Last Connected Device

This saves the Task2 BD address of the Bluetooth device connected most recently in a multiple
connection mode.

C.27. TS55: BD Address of Last Connected Device

This saves the Task3 BD address of the Bluetooth device connected most recently in a multiple
connection mode.

C.28. S56: BD Address of Last Connected Device

This saves the Task4 BD address of the Bluetooth device connected most recently in a multiple
connection mode.

C.29. S57: Slave Disconnect Timeout (default 3)

This S57 register value defines the time period in seconds that a master unit waits in case a slave unit
does not receive the data sent from the master. For this time period, the master unit will not send data
to all slave units if any slave unit does not receive the data. If the slave unit does not receive the data
after this time period elapses, the master unit will disconnect the connection with the problematic slave
unit. The value should be greater than 0 and smaller than the Supervision Timeout(S37).

C.30. S58: MAX TX POWER (default 0)

This value describes the peak output power. Setting this causes rebooting and applying. (There is a
little deviation according to the devices.)

56

C.31. S59: Current Slave in Communication (default 0)

This value shows the current slave number in communication. The value is automatically stored when
the slave is selected for communication. This value can also be set by user so the master unit
connects to a specific slave to connect first in case the master unit reboots. The value range is 0~4. 0
means the maser unit never connected to a slave. The master will connect to a slave whatever
responses first.

C.32. S60: Reconnect Time Interval (default 5)

This value defines reconnect time interval in case a slave is disconnected in multiple connection mode.
The actual reconnect time interval will be the value multiplied by two in seconds. For example, if the
value is set to 5, the reconnect time interval will be 10 seconds. The value should be greater than or
equal to 5. The master unit will only try to reconnect when its mode is set to Mode1.

worse.

D.2.2. Response Message

The messages of IW06 response may affect the function of host system. Set ATS10=0 not to send IW06
response to host system and try again. Refer Appendix B. for details.

D.3. Transmission Delay

D.3.1. RF Processing Delay

It takes 30msec approximately for a IW06 to complete a data transmission to the other Bluetooth
device. This time delay cannot be reduced and may enlarge as the RF transmission environment
becomes worse. Do not use IW06 If your applications cannot allow for this time delay.

D.3.2. RF Transmission Environment

If there are many Bluetooth devices working in a small area and/or the RF communication distance is
too great and/or there are some obstacles affecting RF performance, the IW06 repeats the
transmission packet by packet due to interferences and/or low RF performance. This may lead to
increased data transmission time delays.
