Note *:
Bluetooth v1.2 supports improved AFH function. AFH function is to mitigate the
interference between WiFi and Bluetooth radios by automatically avoiding the
active WiFi channel from Bluetooth link. However, AFH does not provide a
complete solution making WiFi and Bluetooth work together in harmony. It is
highly recommended for users to test their wireless system enough before
deployment since the overall system performance is affected by various
environmental factors such as distance between them.

3. Configuration
3.1. Operation Modes
In addition to the serial port configurations, the Parani-ESD requires also includes some settings 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 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-ESD has 4 operation modes as follows:
Table 3-1 The Parani-ESD Operation Modes
Mode Description
Mode0 In this mode, there is no response when power on or software reset, and Parani-ESD is just
waiting forAT commandinput. Neither master nor slave is assigned to Parani-ESD in mode0.
User can change the configuration parameters of Parani-ESD in this mode.
Parani-ESD must be in Mode0, when it is directly controlled by AT commands.
The factory default is set to Mode0.
Mode1 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 Parani-
ESD has connected last. When Parani-ESD is initially used or after hardware reset, there is no
BD address stored in Parani-ESD. In this case, Mode1 will not be able to work properly. The
mode change to Mode1 can be made after Parani-ESD succeeds to connect to one other
Bluetooth device. Once changed to Mode1, Parani-ESD will try to connect automatically the
last connected Bluetooth device whenever the unit is powered on or software reset.
Parani-ESD in Mode1 cannot be discovered or connected by other Bluetooth devices.
Mode2 Parani-ESD is waits for a 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 work properly. Once changed to
Mode2, Parani-ESD will wait for the connection from the last connected Bluetooth device
whenever the unit is powered on or software reset.
Parani-ESD in Mode2 cannot be discovered or connected to Bluetooth devices other than the
last connected device.
Mode3 Parani-ESD is waiting for the connection from any other Bluetooth devices. In Mode 3 the
Parani-ESD is discoverable and can be connected to by other Bluetooth devices.

3.2. Serial Ports
The applicable settings for serial ports are as follows.
Table 3-2 The Parani-ESD Serial Port Settings
Serial Port Settings Values
Baud rate 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38200, 57600, 115200, 230400
Data bite 8
Parity No parity, Even parity, Odd parity
Stop bit 1, 2
Hardware Flow Control Use, No Use
The values in box are the factory default settings.
3.3 Data Bit
Parani-ESD supports only 8 data bit. In the case of 7 data bit and even/odd parity, use Parani-ESD 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.
3.4 Hardware Flow Control
Parani-ESD plugged into its host system transmits data from host to the other side Bluetooth device.
This 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 a 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.
When using hardware flow control, Parani-ESD disables RTS so that it stops receiving any further
data from the host when the buffer becomes full. RTS will be re-enabled again to begin receiving data
from the host when the buffer has created more room for more data.
When hardware flow control is not being used, the Parani-ESD clears the buffer to secure room for the
next data when the buffer becomes full. This can mean a loss of data may occur. As the transmission
data becomes large, the possibility of data loss becomes greater.
For large data transmissions, the use of hardware flow control is highly recommended.

be configured as well. Security option also can be configured in this window.

17
Figure 3-5 Device Setting Window
Parani-ESD supports two security options, Authentication and Encryption. If you check the
Authentication option, you must also enter the Pin Code value. If the authentication is activated, the
connection, only between the Master and Slave device that share the same Pin Code, is established.
Parani-ESD supports two security options, Authentication and Encryption. If you enable the
Authentication option, you must also enter a Pin Code value. If the authentication is enabled, the
connection, between the Master and Slave device must share the same Pin Code. In case that Parani-
ESD connects to another Bluetooth device, that requires authentication, you must know the other
device’s Pin Code. In general, most Bluetooth devices have a pincode of 1234 or 0000. If you check
Encryption option, the Parani-ESD will encrypt packets and sent to the device. The Encryption options
works well in case that only one of the devices between Master and Slave use the Encryption option.
Parani-ESD has 4 response messages, ‘OK’, ‘ERROR’, ‘CONNECT’, and ‘DISCONNECT’. In some
cases, these responses can affect the host system unexpectedly. To prevent this, user can set the
Command response to ON or OFF.
Click [Apply] button to apply any changes made to the Parani-ESD.
Connection(out) icon will show the following window to search and connect other Bluetooth devices.

18
Figure 3-6 Connection(out) Window
Click [Search] button to search nearby Bluetooth devices. Once several Bluetooth devices has been
found, select one of the devices and click the [Connect] button. The selected Bluetooth device must be
discoverable and connectable. Click [Disconnect] button to cancel the connection.
After the connection has been established, you will be able to test signal strength by pushing the
START button.

19
Figure 3-7 Signal Strength Test
The signal strength test shows LInkQuality and RSSI values. The closer LinkQuality is to 255 and
RSSI is to 0, this means the Parani-ESD has a good connection to the connected Bluetooth device. In
general, the wireless connectivity is at its best within 10 meters. You can push the STOP button at
anytime in order to terminate the signal strength test. The signal strength test will continue until the
STOP button is pushed. If you close the ParaniWIN Window without pushing the STOP button, you
must restart Parani-ESD to terminate the test.
Connection(in) icon will show the following window, which enables the Parani-ESD to wait for a
connection from another Bluetooth device. If the waiting time is set to 0, Parani-ESD will continually
wait for connection until [Cancel] button is clicked.
