1. Introduction
1.1. Overview
Parani-SD is a terminal device for wireless serial communication u sing the Bluetooth technology that is
international standard of short range wireless communications. Parani-SD accomplishes more reliable
wireless communication. As Parani-SD can communicate with other Bluetooth devices, user may
construct various communications with it.
Parani-SD provides several models with different communication ranges from 30m (Parani-SD200) up
to 100m (Parani-SD100) for user’s various applications. In terms of noise, Parani-SD delivers better
quality of communication than standard RS232 cables.
Parani-SD 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-SD can be configured and controlled by typical AT commands. User can easily configure
Parani-SD 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-SD provides some expanded AT commands for its various functions. User
friendly ParaniWIN is also provided for easy setup on Microsoft Windows. Also, user can setup the
serial port parameters by dipswitch without PC.
The FHSS (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) technique of Bluetooth lets Parani-SD have less
radio interference and no danger of hacking in air. Parani-SD also supports authentication and data
encryption.

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-SD has some configurations for Bluetooth. For getting the most out of Parani-SD, 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-SD has 4 operation modes as follows. Each mode can be identified with LED indicators as
illustrated in next section.
Table 3-1 The Parani-SD Operation Modes
Mode Description
Mode0
Mode1
Mode2
Mode3
Parani-SD 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-SD is just
waiting for AT command input. Neither master nor slave is assigned to Parani-SD in mode0.
User can change the configurations of Parani-SD in this mode.
The factory default is set to Mode0.
Parani-SD tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth device.
Parani-SD in Mode1 is to be a master and tries to connect the last connected Bluetooth
device. Parani-SD always stores the BD address of the Bluetooth device to which Parani-SD
has connected last time. When Parani-SD is initially used or after hardware reset, there is no
BD address stored in Parani-SD. 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-SD succeeds to connect to other Bluetooth device in Mode0. Once
changed to Mode1, Parani-SD will try to connect automatically the last connected Bluetooth
device whenever power on or software reset.
Parani-SD in Mode1 cannot be discovered or connected by other Bluetooth devices.
Parani-SD is waiting for the connection from the last connected Bluetooth device.
Parani-SD 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-SD,
the mode change from other operation modes to Mode2 is not allowed. Once changed to
Mode2, Parani-SD will wait for the connection from the last connected Bluetooth device
whenever power on or software reset.
Parani-SD in Mode2 cannot be discovered or connected to Bluetooth devices other than the
last connected device.
Parani-SD is waiting for the connection from any other Bluetooth devices.
Parani-SD in Mode3 acts like in Mode2, but allows any connection from other Bluetooth
device. Most of general Bluetooth device is set to Mode3.
Parani-SD in Mode3 can be discovered and connected from any other Bluetooth devices.

3.2. LED Indicators
RS232-Tx and RS232-Rx LED are blinking accordingly when data is transmitted. For small data
transmission, it may be hard to recognize the quick blinking.

3.3. Serial Ports
The applicable settings for serial ports are as follows.

Hardware Flow Control
The values in box are the factory defaults. The flow control setting is configurable only through dip
switch.
3.3.1. Data Bit
Parani-SD supports only 8 data bit. In the case of 7 d ata bit, please contact the technical support.
3.3.2. Hardware Flow Control
Parani-SD 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-SD 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-SD malfunction consequently. In order to prevent this
buffer overflow, Parani-SD works as follows.
In case of using hardware flow control, Parani-SD 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-SD 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.
3.3.3. Reset to Factory Defaults
To turn back all the configurations to its factory settings, press the reset button depicted in Fig. 1-3.
Press the reset button with a narrow pointed tool like paper clip longer than 1 second. Reset works
only when power is on.
3.3.4. Dipswitch
This feature is only on Parani-SD205. With the combination of 4 slot dipswitches, baud rate and
hardware flow control can be set simply without host computer.

Upper 3 dipswitches are used for setting baud rate, and bottom dipswitch is used for setting hardware
flow control option. If the baud rate needs to be set out of the range given below, ParaniWIN or
terminal program should be used for extended AT commands. At this time combination of dipswitches
must be complied with AT cmd. Then baud rate will go back to 9600 as default.

3.3.5. Pairing Button
Parani-SD provides Pairing Button for instant configuration without PC to make an automatic
connection between two Parani-SDs. For convenience sake, name two Parani-SDs as SD1 and SD2
respectively.
Step 1. Turn off all the nearby Parani-SD
Step 2. Turn on SD1 and SD2 and hardware reset both of them by pressing Reset Button.
Step 3. Press the Pairing Button of SD1 for 2 seconds until Standby LED turns off and Connect LED
blinks 3 times every 2 seconds. Keep the power ON.
Step 4. Press the Pairing Button of SD2 for 2 seconds until Standby LED turns off and Connect LED
13
blinks 3 times every 2 seconds. Now press again the Pairing Button for 2 seconds until Connect
LED blinks every 0.5 second.
Step 5. Wait for SD1 & SD2 to be connected for a while until Connect LED’s of SD1 and SD2 is lit in
green. It takes about 10 seconds to make a connection. If there are many Bluetooth devices nearby,
it will take a little bit more.
Step 6. Turn SD1 off and on. Connect LED blinks twice in green every 3 seconds.
Step 7. Turn SD2 off and on. Connect LED blinks once in green every 1 second.
Step 8. Now a pair of Parani-SD is configured to make automatic connection, whenever power off and
on.
Just use this pair of Parani-SD like virtual serial cable.
* Note: While pairing is progressing by the pairing buttons, the Command Response will be inactivated
automatically. Then, Parani-SD will not send the response messages such as OK, Connect and
Disconnect.
