1. Introduction

1.1 Overview

Parani10 is a wireless serial adapter based on Bluetooth technology. It enables the RS232 serial devices to communicate wirelessly throughout the range of 200m ~ 1.2km. It supports both point-to-point connections and point-to-multipoint connections.

Users may configure the Parani10 by using an easy-to-use Windows-based utility software or by using a standard AT command set.

Parani10 allows users to choose various power supply options, i.e. Power by DC power cable,

Power by external DC-adapter, Power by USB power cable, Power by pin 9 of DB9 connector.

Typical application areas of the Parani10 include:

• RS232 cable replacement

• Truck/Bus monitoring system

• Car Diagnostics

• Wireless POS system

• Wireless Factory monitoring

• PLC programming

• Wireless machine (healthcare/industrial) monitoring

• Wireless Printing

• Wireless logistics

2.2 RS232 Interface

Parani10 has a DB-9 (female) connector as shown below in Fig 2.2.1

Figure 2.1.1 Parani10

Figure 2.2.1. DB-9 (Female)

• The serial interface is RS232 DCE configured; a DTE device can be connected.

• Baud rate: 1200~230400bps

• Hardware flow control (RTS/CTS)

Table 2.2.1. Parani10 DB-9 Specification

Parani10 is designed to operate as DCE (Data Communications Equipment). To connect to DTE (Data Terminal Equipment), for example a PC or a laptop, a straight cable must be used as in below.

*DTR/DSR of Parani10 will function for either a Loop-back operation or for full transfer. Users may select a function of DTR/DSR using AT command- ATS14. Default value of ATS14 is 1.

• ATS14=1<cr>: Default setting. Users may use DTR/DSR lines for communications

• ATS14=0<cr>: Users may use DTR/DSR lines for Loop-back only.

• ATS14? : To see current status of ATS14.

*Default setting of CD line in Parani10 is to show the status of Bluetooth connection. If users want to use CD line to send CDC signal to the other side, such as for a connection between Parani10 and DCE device, users need to configure ATS13.

• ATS13 =0<cr>: Default setting. Users may use CDC line for checking a Bluetooth connection.

• ATS13 =1<cr>: Users may receive CDC signal from other Parani10.

(This function will be available from future version of Parani10 for DCE devices)

• ATS13 ?: To see current status of ATS13.

2.3 Connecting Parani10 to host

Step 1. Connect a Parani10 to a serial port of the host computer.

Step 2. Supply power by using one of the following methods:

Power via DC power cable Power via a standard AC-plug DC-adapter (Option) Power via USB power cable (Option)

Step 3. Turn on the Parani10 power by using the switch on the side.

Step 4. Check the LED lamps. The Power LED must display a solid green color, to indicate that power is being supplied properly.

Step 5. Proceed with the steps for the configuration to make Parani10 work. See Chapter 3. Configuration for details.

3. Configuration

3.1 Using Parani10 Manager

With Parani10, Bluetooth wireless connections can be made to any Bluetooth device supporting SPP (Serial Port Profile). Especially when using the Parani10 as a cable replacement, take advantage of the Parani10 automatic connection feature. Once a pair of Parani10’s is set for this feature, they automatically connect whenever powered up. A pair of Parani10 units, within their radio range, may be used as a virtual RS-232 cable.

To allow wireless connections between two Bluetooth devices, one device should be in Discoverable (INQUIRY SCAN) and Connectable (PAGE SCAN). Most Bluetooth devices are set to Discoverable and Connectable by the manufacture. However, to allow Parani10 to respond to the INQUIRY and PAGE operations of other Bluetooth devices, INQUIRY SCAN and PAGE SCAN modes will need to be activated.

Before making the first Bluetooth connection with Parani10 units, be prepared with a pa ir of Parani10 units and also install the Parani10_Manager program on the CD enclosed in the Parani10 product package.

*Configuration By Parani10_Manager

Please prepare two of the Parani10s to make connection. Let’s say 1st unit as ‘P01’ and 2nd unit as ‘P02’ in this guide book. Make sure that power to both

P01 and P02 are ALWAYS supplied, even when you detach from your computer.

3.1.1 Let’s make P01 to be discoverable/connectable.

In this procedure, P01 will become discoverable/connectable to be able to receive connection from P02.

1-1. Attach P01 to your PC, and start Parani10_Manager 1-2. Start Parani10_Manager then you will see a pop-up window for configuration of

Parani10_Manager.

<Fig. 3.1.1>

1-3. Select the number of the Serial port where P01 is attached as in the Fig. 3.1.1 above. 1-4. Users need to select exactly same Baud/Parity/StopBit as real settings of attached P01.

9600/No/OneStopBit are default initial settings of all of Parani10s. 1-5. Press OK button when finished. 1-6. Open ‘Parani10_Manager->Start Configuration’ on the upper left menu. Parani10_Manager will bring the information on the attached P01 as in Fig. 3.1.2
