1. Introduction

1.1. Overview

Parani-SD is a terminal device for wireless serial communication using Bluetooth technology that is an
international standard of short range wireless communications. Parani-SD can communi cate with other
Bluetooth devices; user may connect other Bluetooth devices that support the Serial Port Profile.

Parani-SD provides several models with different communication ranges, from 30m up to 100m for
various applications.

Parani-SD has a compact design, which allows it to be placed conveniently into various devices or
equipment. Its detachable antenna has the ability to optimize the quality and distance of wireless
communications.

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

Parani-SD can be configured and controlled by a set of AT commands. Users can easily configure
Parani-SD on a terminal program, such as HyperTerminal, and configure for wireless communication
without modifying user’s existing serial communication program. User friendly ParaniWIN can also be
used for easy setup on Microsoft Windows.

Convert the operation status of ‘Connect’ to ‘Standby’
In ‘Connect’ status, data from host is transmitted to the other side Bluetooth device, and

any AT command is not accepted but this command, which is not echoed on the screen.
When Parani-SD encounters a character ‘+’ from host, it stops the data transmission and
waits for next 2 characters. If the next 2 characters aren’t both ‘+’, it restart to transmit data
including the first ‘+’ as well. If not, it converts the operation status to ‘Standby’.
If the data from host includes ‘+++’, it will convert the operation status to ‘Standby’. Notice
that Parani-SD holds data transmission when it encounters ‘+’, until receiving next
character.
‘+’ is an escape sequence character by default, which is changeable by AT+SETESC.
