1. Introduction

1.1. Overview

Parani-SD1100 is a terminal device for wireless serial communication using Bluetooth 2.0+EDR technology that is an international standard of short range wireless communications. Parani-SD1100 can communicate with other Bluetooth devices; user may connect other Bluetooth devices that support the Serial Port Profile.

The working distance of Parani-SD1100 with default antenna is 100m

Parani-SD1100 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-SD1100 supports FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum), which is a technique, native to Bluetooth that allows the Parani-SD1100 minimize radio interference while decreasing the likelihood of over-air hijacking. Parani-SD1100 also supports authentication and Bluetooth data encryption.

Parani-SD1100 can be configured and controlled by a set of AT commands. Users can easily configure Parani-SD1100 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.

2. Configuration

2.1. Operation Modes

In addition to the serial port configurations the Parani-SD1100 also requires some settings for Bluetooth. For getting the most out of Parani-SD1100, 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.

Parani-SD1100 has 4 operation modes as follows. Each mode can be identified with LED indicators as illustrated in next section.

Table 2-1 The Parani-SD1100 Operation Modes

Mode Description Mode0

Mode1

Mode2

Mode3

In this mode, there is no response when power on or software reset, and Parani-SD1100 is just waiting for AT command input. Neither master nor slave is assigned to Parani-SD1100 in mode0. User can change the configuration parameters of Parani-SD1100 in this mode.

Parani-SD1100 must be in Mode0, when it is directly controlled by AT commands.

The factory default is set to Mode0.

Parani-SD1100 tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth device. Parani-SD1100 in Mode1 is to be a master and tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth device. Parani-SD1100 always stores the BD address of the Bluetooth device to which ParaniSD1100 has connected last. When Parani-SD1100 is initially used or after hardware reset, there is no BD address stored in Parani-SD1100. In this case, Mode1 will not be able to work properly. The mode change to Mode1 can be made after Parani-SD1100 succeeds to connect to one other Bluetooth device. Once changed to Mode1, Parani-SD1100 will try to connect automatically the last connected Bluetooth device whenever the unit is powered on or software reset. Parani-SD1100 in Mode1 cannot be discovered or connected by other Bluetooth devices.

Parani-SD1100 is waits for a connection from the last connected Bluetooth device. Parani-SD1100 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 ParaniSD1100, the mode change from other operation modes to Mode2 is not work properly. Once changed to Mode2, Parani-SD1100 will wait for the connection from the last connected Bluetooth device whenever the unit is powered on or software reset. Parani-SD1100 in Mode2 cannot be discovered or connected to Bluetooth devices other than the last connected device.

Parani-SD1100 is waiting for the connection from any other Bluetooth devices. In Mode 3 the Parani-SD1100 is discoverable and can be connected to by other Bluetooth devices.

2.2. LED Indicators

RS422/485-Tx and RS422/485-Rx LED will flash accordingly when data is transmitted. For small data transmissions, it may be hard to recognize the quick flashing action of the LED. Charge Led and Low battery LED will be off, if you don’t use battery pack.

The values in box are the factory defaults.

2.4. Data Bit

Parani-SD1100 supports only 8 data bit. In the case of 7 data bit and even/odd parity, use 8 data bit and none parity. At this time, master and slave are Parani-SD, Parani-ESD or Parani-MSP series. But 7 data bit and none parity is not support.

2.5. Reset to Factory Defaults

To set all the configuration settings to its factory default parameters, press the reset button, depicted in Fig. 3-1. Press and hold (for at least 1 sec) the reset button with a narrow pointed tool like paper clip. Reset works only when power is on.

2.6. Dipswitch

With the combination of 4 slot dipswitches, RS422/485 select, baud rate 9600 select, 485 echo and termination on/off control can be set.

ParaniWIN or terminal program should be used to set these speeds. To set a baud rate not shown below the dipswitches should be in the S/W Config setting. When in the S/W Config setting the baud rate will go back to 9600 as default.

2.7. Pairing Button

Parani-SD1100 provides Pairing Button for instant configuration without a PC to make an automatic connection between two Parani-SD1100s. In this example we will refer to the two Parani-SD1100s as SD1 and SD2. (Only single connection mode)

Step 1. Turn on SD1 and SD2 and reset both of them by pressing Factory Reset Button. Step 2. Press the Pairing Button of SD1 for 2 seconds until Mode LED blinks 3 times every 3 seconds.

Keep the power ON.

Step 3. Press the Pairing Button of SD2 for 2 seconds until Mode LED blinks 3 times every 3 seconds.

Now press again the Pairing Button for 2 seconds until Mode LED blinks every second.

Step 4. Wait for SD1 & SD2 to connect to each other until the Connect LED’s of SD1 and SD2 blink

every 1 second. It takes about 10 seconds to make a connection. If there are many Bluetooth devices nearby, it may take longer.

Step 5. Turn SD1 off and on. Mode LED blinks twice in green every 3 seconds. Step 6. Turn SD2 off and on. Mode LED blinks in green every second. Step 7. Now SD1 and SD2 are configured to make automatic connection to each other, whenever they

are powered on.

Using a pair of Parani-SD1100 in this fashion is similar to that of using a wireless serial cable.

* Note: When using the pairing buttons, the Command Response option will be deactivated automatically. The Parani-SD1100 will not send the response messages such as OK, Connect and Disconnect.

Step 1. Turn on SD1 and reset it by pressing Factory Reset Button. Step 2. Press the Pairing Button of SD1 for 2 seconds until Mode LED blinks 3 times every 3 seconds.

Keep the power ON.

Step 3. Users can discover and connect to SD1 by using the software or user interface of other

Bluetooth device that they want to connect from.

Step 4. When they are connected, the Connect LED of SD1 blinks every 1 second. Step 5. Turn off and on. Mode LED blinks twice in green every 3 seconds. Step 6. Now SD1 is waiting for a connection from the last connected Bluetooth device. The last

connected Bluetooth device can connect to SD1.
