1. Introduction

1.1. Overview

Parani-ESD is a module device for wireless serial communication using the Bluetooth technology that
is international standard of short range wireless communications. Parani-ESD accomplishes more
reliable wireless communication. As Parani-ESD can communicate with other Bluetooth devices, user
may construct various communications with it.

Parani-ESD provides several models with different communication ranges from 30m (Parani­ESD200/210) up to 100m (Parani-ESD100/110) for user’s various applications. In terms of noise,
Parani-ESD delivers better quality of communication than standard RS232 cables.

Parani-ESD has the most compact design of the same kind devices and can be placed conveniently
into any devices or equipments. Its detachable antenna of variety optimizes the quality and distance of
wireless communications.

Parani-ESD can be configured and controlled by typical AT commands. User can easily configure
Parani-ESD on the terminal program such as HyperTerminal and implements the wireless
communication without modifying user’s existing serial communication program. In addition to the
basic AT commands, Parani-ESD provides some expanded AT commands for its various functions.
User friendly ParaniWizard and ParaniWIN are also provided for easy setup on Microsoft Windows.

The FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) technique of Bluetooth lets Parani-ESD have less
radio interference and no danger of hacking in air. Parani-ESD also supports authentication and data
encryption.

2. Getting Started

This chapter describes how to set up the Parani-ESD Series for the first time.

- 2.1 Panel Layout explains the panel layout.

- 2.2 Connecting the Hardware describes how to connect the Parani-ESD Series, the power, and the
serial device to the Jig Board.

Following items are pre-required to get started.

- One Jig Board (included in the Starter Kit package).

- One DC power adapter or one USB power cable (included in the Starter Kit package).

- One serial console cable for configuration (included in the Starter Kit package).

- One PC with RS232 serial port.

- Terminal emulation program running on the PC

2.1. Panel Layout

This section describes the panel layout of the Jig Board.

Figure 2-1 The panel layout of Jig Board

2.2. Connecting the Hardware

This section describes how to connect the Parani-ESD Series to the Jig Board and the Jig Board to
the serial device for initial testing.

- Connect the Parani-ESD Series to Jig Board.

- Connect a power source to Jig Board for the Parani-ESD Series.

- Connect Jig Board for the Parani-ESD Series to a serial device.

2.2.1. Connecting Parani-ESD to Jig Board

Connect the Parani-ESD Series to the Jig Board as shown below.

Figure 2-2 Connecting Parani-ESD to Jig Board

2.2.2. Connecting Power to Jig Board

Connect the power jack to the power connector of the Jig Board for the Parani-ESD Series using the
DC power adapter or USB power cable that is included in the package.

3. Configuration

3.1. Operation Modes

In addition to the serial port configurations such as bit/second, data bit, parity, stop bit, flow control,
Parani-ESD has some configurations for Bluetooth. For getting the most out of Parani-ESD, 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 device, and slave is waiting to be connected from other Bluetooth devices. A Bluetooth
connection is always made by a pair of master and slave. A slave can be in two modes, Inquiry Scan
or Page Scan mode. Inquiry Scan mode is waiting the packet of inquiry from other Bluetooth devices
and Page Scan mode is waiting the packet of connection from other Bluetooth devices. Every
Bluetooth device has its unique address, called BD (Bluetooth Device) address, which is composed of
12 hexa-decimal numbers.

Parani-ESD has 4 operation modes as follows. Each mode can be identified with LED indicators as
illustrated in next section.

Table 3-1 The Parani-ESD Operation Modes

Mode Description
Mode0

Mode1

Mode2

Mode3

Parani-ESD must be in Mode0, when it is directly controlled by AT commands.
In this mode, there is no response when power on or software reset, and Parani-ESD is just
waiting for AT command input. Neither master nor slave is assigned to Parani-ESD in mode0.
User can change the configurations of Parani-ESD in this mode.
The factory default is set to Mode0.

Parani-ESD tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth device.
Parani-ESD in Mode1 is to be a master and tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth
device. Parani-ESD always stores the BD address of the Bluetooth device to which Parani­ESD has connected last time. When Parani-ESD is initially used or after hardware reset, there
is no BD address stored in Parani-ESD. In this case, Mode1 does not make any sense and
mode change from other operation modes to Mode1 is not allowed. The mode change to
Mode1 can be made after Parani-ESD succeeds to connect to other Bluetooth device in
Mode0. Once changed to Mode1, Parani-ESD will try to connect automatically the last
connected Bluetooth device whenever power on or software reset.
Parani-ESD in Mode1 cannot be discovered or connected by other Bluetooth devices.

Parani-ESD is waiting for the connection from the last connected Bluetooth device.
Parani-ESD 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 Parani-ESD,
the mode change from other operation modes to Mode2 is not allowed. Once changed to
Mode2, Parani-ESD will wait for the connection from the last connected Bluetooth device
whenever power on or software reset.
Parani-ESD in Mode2 cannot be discovered or connected to Bluetooth devices other than the
last connected device.

Parani-ESD is waiting for the connection from any other Bluetooth devices.
Parani-ESD in Mode3 acts like in Mode2, but allows any connection from other Bluetooth
device. Most of general Bluetooth device is set to Mode3.
Parani-ESD in Mode3 can be discovered and connected from any other Bluetooth devices.

The values in box are the factory defaults. The flow control setting is configurable only through dip

3.2.1. Data Bit

Parani-ESD supports only 8 data bit. In the case of 7 data bit, please contact the technical support.

3.2.2. Hardware Flow Control

Parani-ESD plugged into its host system transmits data from host to the other side Bluetooth device.
These data is saved temporarily in the internal buffer of Parani-ESD 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 the transmission delay. If the host sends more data when
the buffer is full, buffer overflow will make Parani-ESD malfunction consequently. In order to prevent
this buffer overflow, Parani-ESD works as follows.

In case of using hardware flow control, Parani-ESD makes RTS be ‘disable’ to stop receiving further
data from the host when the buffer becomes full. RTS will be ‘able’ to begin receiving data again from
the host when the buffer has some room for more data.

In case of not using hardware flow control, Parani-ESD clears the buffer to secure the room for next
data when the buffer becomes full. This means the loss of data. As the transmission data becomes
large, the possibility of data loss goes higher.

For large data transmission, use of hardware flow control is highly recommended.

3.2.3. Software and Utility

This configuration software and utility for firmware update comes with the product, which also can be
downloaded from http://www.sena.com
